If its 1 thing Honda can do, it is engines ive heard, and IMO that counts for a lot!
BTW took the 2.2diesel civic for a spin, nice ride (good power), only a bit diseapointed whit plastic (cheap looking) details interior and doorhandles... |
Auto Motor Sport?
There was a test in Teknikens Världs most recent issue to.
Read about it here:
Type R track test in Sweden against some real competition
Why not go for a test drive?
I would never buy anything with out trying it.
It might not suit you personally.
Agree on the "quality feel" that is lacking.
Especially things like the door handles.
This was what made me hesitate really.
See my comments in this thread:
Build Quality
But yes, Honda´s engines are great.
I also like the roadholding and gearbox of the non-R.
Haven´t driven the R myself.
They say Honda only build cars so they can have something to put their engines in!
And the Civic is just much more fun, interesting and cool than a Fo** Foc**. And we have the best forum!
