Its such a shame my car isnt working right now
But there is one thats coming that is working right
You coming in your Type R to the meet... lol!
Nah, they are nice cars, just like most on here the reason I dont have one, is I dont want to feel like im thrashing a car to get the best out of it all the time
They arent slow, and have a very nice interior. On that point, its on a different level to our Ibiza's
Nice choice of car - although I went the other way from a CTR to my Cupra TDI. Horses for courses, but I prefer the delivery of the Ibiza in everyday driving - the CTR is a great car when you're in the mood for it. And 8k revs in a tunnel with the windows down can't be argued with 
But put the same standard of driver in a CTR and a diesel Ibiza (130 or 160) and the CTR will be quicker on road or track if you're driving on the limit. I know because I still attend meets with a Type R club up here. On tighter, twisty roads I was definately quicker, but when the roads opened up or got bumpier the CTRs/ITRs/ATRs were certainly quicker. And that was against the same drivers I'd previously been able to keep up with when I had my CTR.
But I still prefer my Ibiza because in most situations it's quicker and offers more thrills.

please dnt turn against me guys, i went to the richard alexander garage at huddersfield to get a leon and they were a55holes with me and i my cheque book with me but they were aragent, so i went to sb honda to have a look and i came out with a type r, i did want a seat but the dealer pissed me off so i got my head up my arse lol and took my money else where
Quite right too. The CTR is a fantastic car. I think the point that people are trying to make is that on general British Roads, the way it deploys its power is
not ideal. It really needs a race track or a 'private' A road! to really show its abilities. As an example, I used to have a Suzuki Ignis Sport VVTi which was pretty nippy when thrashing it, however, in normal driving conditions, it could never outrun our Altea TDi 105 bhp.
For the sake of getting this thread to the scrapyard, I had a bit of a spat with a new civic Type R this morning. In an environment with tightish corners and straights, the CTR cannot compete with the grunt of a remapped FR tdi. The Ibiza was more than a match for the Civic, as obviously the Honda had no way of really deploying its Vtec. Bit pointless for crowded British roads if you ask me.
I would imagine that the CTR would kick the Ibizas butt on a racetrack though!

You should be! Very nice cars as I also said! Shame about the seat garage, you should have tried Ted Johnsons their service side is ok, sales arent great tho imho.
As said before the interior on a CTR is a world above the Ibiza!
If im honest ive never been out in a CTR, your still welcome at the meets matey, aslong as you take me for a spin
