Uninformed comments!

Reading through this weeks Autocar I came across two letters that had been sent into the magazine. Here's the first:


There seems to be a paradox with the diesel engine. Instead of offering decent fuel economy and being cheap to run, we now use performance diesels that cost more to fuel and offer no better range than petrol engines. Whats the point of a Civic 2.2 i-CDTI if it averages no more than 38.8mpg?

He clearly hasn't driven one!


The second letter regards the Type-R:


Is Honda forgetting how to make quick, desireable cars? Not only does the new NSX concept look confused (is it a GT or a supercar?), but the latest Civic Type-R is undeserving of its moniker.
How can a 1.5 Tonne kerb weight and torsion beam rear suspension be appropriate for a hot hatch? I'm glad the sonorous 2.0-litre has remained naturally aspirated despite a turbo frenzied environment, but it's performance figures disappoint.
I don't have to drive the new Type-R to knoq that at £18k it's too expensive and won't be as much fun to drive as the old one. I'd rather have the old model or buy an imported integra Type-R DC5.


I don't care what its supposed to be, it looks great (NSX)! And I think judgement should have been reserved on the 'R' until he had driven it!

but that would have involved him getting of his backside and actually doing something


It is extremley easy to sit at a keyboard and pontificate about issues - some would say too easy.
Ask those same people to do something about it (such as, for example actually visiting a dealer) - 'no point, I know it's not going to help / change my mind / prove me wrong'


By the way - the world is flat, and everyone else but me doesn't exist and are figments of my imagination just to keep me amused
