PS, I have the 2.2 ex, with all the toys, but all the above applies there too.
Nothing wrong with my car mate. Coming up to 25,000 in less than a year and it been faultless. I know people always have problems but if you are going to make a sweeping statement like that I am going to have to defend my car.

Also if you read what he has written he already has a Type-R (FN2) but is looking at the 4 door saloon version imported from Japan (FD2).

Anyway, for pure adrenalin filled driving pleasure, the Evo wins hands down for me but as you guess it will be thirsty and need servicing more regularly than the Civ. Also depends on what you want from the car, the big turbo push or the high revving fun of the v-tec. As always, test drive them both and see which one makes you smile more
