The Civic Type R is the best all rounder i have owned,
1) It has more than enough power for our UK roads.
2) Plenty of room to carry four adults comfortably.
3) The luggage capacity is excellent.
4) If it`s like most Honda's it should be very reliable.

After about week 10 of my 16 week wait I did look at the JDM Type R (Dickson's of Dunblane had a few in stock)
Okay granted i never drove it,
I just don`t think it looks as good as our Euro Civic inside and out,
After reading a few reviews, i thought it was just to hard core for what i was looking for!

I couldn't agree more, I think that it might be worthwhile running a poll for current type R drivers to find out if they would have considered the JDM Type R over their FN2, if it were available in this country as say a RR version .

As you say it is very hardcore and might not be to everyones requirements for everyday use.

What do you think?
