2005 Honda Civic type r review from UK and Ireland
"Great hot hatch for under £17grand"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Handbrake failed in a shopping centre car park, causing the car to roll into the front of another car damaging the front bumper and causing £600 worth of damage. Honda dealer and Honda UK not interested in helping and am very dissapointed in the way I have been treated.
General comments?
This car is seriously quick if you rev it hard!!
Previous car was a BMW 330i and it runs rings around it performance wise.
Handling is very good, but can get uncomfortable on long journeys.
Very good car for under £17grand, but cannot forgive Honda's after-sale experience.
