Well it was the best front wheel drive hot hatch you can buy. At least he knows the AIRBAGS work.

Noticed they didn't mention the questionable styling just the aero.

I want one.  I'm not sure I can persist in avoiding a Honda dealership and arranging a test drive.    There's some good balaclava deals on Amazon at the moment so nobody needs to know that it's me driving it.

I've got a spare one if you want it we can arrange to meet in York on Saturday and I will stitch a special badge on the back of it that says my other car really is SUPERB.

Will the current Type R have the same following as this previous model when they end production after the new facelift.

I think they just may sell a few more in the UK with that Sportline spec.  Should have really just had an 'aero delete' option for those of us that aren't 9 years old.

Having been lucky enough to have been in a BTCC Volvo driven by Rickard Rydell around the Brands Hatch Indy circuit it is the racing brakes that leave the biggest impression on your rib cage plus the sequential gearbox quick changes. Two up we clocked 48 second laps about 3 seconds slower than a qualifying lap of 45 seconds.
