2002 Honda Civic Type R review from UK and Ireland
"TA TA Type r!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious mainly trim problems.
General comments?
This car looks odd! I was given as a company car and I hate it.
The adverts say bye bye gti, but my experience at the lights is more "Ta Ta Type R!" Golf's frequently beat it off until you rev the horrid sounding engine.
The interior is awful, spacious, but uncomfortable, not a patch on the seat leon I used to own.
The gear stick is in the wrong place.
My grandad also owns a civic.
The ride is way to hard, this would acceptable if the handling was great it is not.
This car should not be taken on to the motorway as it will make your ears bleed and your teeth will fall out.
On the plus side my fleet manager says I can replace it in 2005!
