2004 Honda Civic Type-R review from UK and Ireland
"An excellent, reliable hot hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this Type-R, nor my previous 2002 Type-R.
General comments?
This car is fantastic.
It's quick, comfortable, looks good, is manufactured to a very high standard and I wouldn't want anything else.
It is fairly cheap to run, but drinks a bit of fuel if you are constantly V-TECing as expected.
I have owned many other cars, but none as nice to drive as this.
Always brings a smile to my face and is extremely good value for money.
Well done Honda.
