Whenever I see AT adverts I am amazed how well they hold value. Fairly sure they went with a diesel engine for the latest generation which has firmed up the petrol engined cars' values further.

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I think the new 2022-23 Honda Civic Type R looks rather good, both outside and inside. I have always found the Type R overstyled and a bit ridiculous looking, but this new one looks purposeful and classy (although not sure about the huge spoiler!). I assume it will drive superbly too.

Will certainly take a closer look at these when they come out, and can see these appealing to many Mk7/7.5 owners.

I don't know much about the latest Civic Type R, a friend has an order placed on one, purely on the basis he was told 200 are coming to the UK, you have to be in it to win it....
I looked at the previous R and found it to be more Passat size than Golf, so that wasn't for me!

The new Civic looks so much better than the previous one, but why 3 tailpipes?

Having been in the same predicament, and not knowing what to go for next, I went with the S4 Avant - though god knows when it will arrive, currently being quoted March / April - £10k discount after extras added - which was about £1k more than the R estate.
Though still seems a lot just to throw two dogs in the back !

200? Seems unlikely doesn't it? Maybe that's just the initial allocation.

I guess they are built in Japan again now, not Swindon.

I know it tops the hot hatch reviews but I don't think I'd want one. Bit much for a daily driver.

Had a 240i out for an afternoon few days back   And  it was a good alternative to   Consider  not as hard core as an m2but much more user friendly   Definitely an option if changing the golf for some people
