Hi,
My Dad was looking for a new motor and after a long day of test drives he signed on the line for a 2010 Honda Civic Type-R that had done 10k miles.
The second I got in the car I loved it. The interior just felt so much better than my FR, the seats were a lot more hugging and it just felt a lot more special.
The performance seemed nice, I understand it's high revving etc etc but I don't see that as a problem, It's nice to have a car that you think about driving rather than stamp on the pedal and sit back (I think anyway)
I remember that I was at the lights with one a few weeks back and I pretty easily took off from him but for all I know he wasn't trying.
I see the FR has a lot more torque but I'm just wondering if there are any Type-R owners / ex-owners here who can put me straight -
Will I regret swapping my FR for a Type-R ?
