They didn't go in to detail as I'd already bought the Type R but it might be worth pushing this, if you, like me, don't like a car widths worth of condensation on your rear windscreen.

This will affect the resale value, trust me!

Seems to me they have addressed many of the design faults on the Civic with the Type R.

I spent an hour at the local Volkswagen dealers yesterday looking at the Golf an Golf Plus
