I've got to be honest and say I'm an ex-Civic Type R driver and I thoroughly enjoyed driving mine. Great engine, very addictive. Obviously you get a percentage of twunts no matter the type of car, but there certainly seemed to be a far higher percentage of twunts driving Civic Type Rs compared to other cars, in my experience. Mind you, the same could now be said of the Renautsport Clios, now that secondhand ones are affordable for just about anyone to buy.
I was part of a large owners club when I owned my Honda and went on one driving trip with them. Very decent guys, but the driving standards were pretty shocking - far too fast for public roads and generally dangerous driving. I just pootled along at the back and left them all to it, only to be caught up by the quicker group who'd started 10mins after us...
