I've read that the US market has never had the Civic Type R.

Which if correct, is a little surprising to me - more than enough enthusiasts in the US to justify it. I've only ever test-driven one, the previous 3-door model with lots of triangular angles. Impressive, a little noisy, but has that hyper feel which I'm not sure I could live with as a daily driver. But, by all accounts, was a truly impressive car, and the new one should be more of the same.

Hope you get what you want!

Comes back fast, just get on an open road and take it thru the paces a few times. [nt] - Ed1 - Thu, 16 March 2017 21:09 (282 clicks)

So I did borrow an old manual shift car just to see how quickly it came back to me. - jitsbits - Thu, 16 March 2017 11:06 (323 clicks)
