Noticed there is a lot of hype and excitement on a US STi forum about the new Civic Type R. Some people have even alluded to swapping their STi for one.
Ok, 228kW and 400Nm sounds impressive and while it does have trick suspension, it is still a FWD car.
Now, I'll agree that it does look like a nice car and has its place in the market, but it certainly won't handle or perform like the latest STi and it amuses me how some are literally drooling over it.
Interestingly tbere were a few a while back stating how good the Focus RS is going to be. They've gone quiet about that now
And talking of the Focus RS. Apart from the 2 I've seen in showdooms, not seen any around at all. Anyone seen any out and about?
