1999 Honda Accord type-r review from UK and Ireland
"Honda fighter type-r"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Within two weeks of owning the car I needed all new discs and pads! The dealership said this was due to hard braking and not letting them cool down, this was causing feedback at around 70mph.
General comments?
The car through out each gear is just brilliant fun. It seems like your in a fighter plane taken it to 8000rpm. You never need to change from 3rd. why do you when you can go from 20mph to 90mph!
The interior of the car is very nice with the carbon fiber touch to finish it off. Rev counter and speedo easy to read and looks stunning at night!
All seats are very comfortable and the recaro just hugs you and holds you in place. The passengers tell me the rear seats are the best rear seats they have been in. That was on a three and half hour journey.
