2005 Honda Civic Type R review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant, perfect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None. Everything is still running just as good when I brought it. The most reliable car I have ever owned.
General comments?
What can I say this car is...unique. Keep the revs below 5600rpm and its like a performance 2.0l car. Get the revs above it then it becomes a racing machine... also sounds like one too!!
I have the upgraded seats in my civic which is the actual recaros and its the best I have come across. Its comfy, but yet it has a racing and hugging feeling. It makes back roads and rack racing so fun.
I haven't had any problems with the WINDOWS. A previous owner said the windows steamed up... mine has been perfect. Maybe its the owner having a bit too much fun either with the car or someone in the car!!!
