SAFC99 Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 These are some pics of my old car as i am part exing it for a 350z gt coupe! IMG]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk180/safc99/CIMG0095.jpg[/img] Quote
Chesterfield Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I actually think the styling of these is great, though not too sure on the back window part. The interior is like a space ship but will probably date fast, I hate the position of the handbrake, its right into the drivers side and not that accessible (drove one when considering cars before plumping for the Altea). I dont know where Hondas brains were with the engine though. So much of a dramatic change from the previous model on the outside, and the same power in the engine. Should have gone up to the 220 level at least with this latest revision I think. Quote

SAFC99 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 The engine could have done with more power. Still a pretty fast car what sounds great. Interior looks smart but rattles like hell! Quote
martinmac Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Nice pics bud, looking forward to seeing the next set Quote

An opportunity was lost, as Chris says, by not uprating the power as it felt less lively than the outgoing model. Quote
Chesterfield Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 See what I mean about the handbrake - just how close to the drivers seat do they want it? Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 agree i like the power and admire honda reliability but the exterior is just not aggressive enough for my liking lovely example but needs some tyre black Quote
sinbad Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 As most know i love my honda's but i can only agree on the above, i like the styling personally. I like the dash but i agree with chris that it could date easily, especially with all the plastics. Power should have been up'd like the JDM version was. Its abit of a let down to be branded a Type-R. A missed opportunity i think, but still a good car overall. My best mate still owns one Did you not get the type-r mats? Quote
