I've only ever driven one Civic Type R and that was in 2002. I remember thinking that whilst it was a hoot on the test drive, it would soon become tiresome. It also made a great song and dance about overtaking. If you wanted to pop past a couple of cars, you had to keep pressing on afterwards, otherwise you would look a complete tw@ having made such a lot of noise, but not got much further ahead. I bought a Leon Cupra instead. That was much better as I could make progress without anyone really noticing.
I have no clue what the new car will be like from a realistic, grown up point of view, but a friend from way back that works for Honda R+D has said he'll bring one for me to try when he gets one to bring home. I'll let you know what I think then.
