I suspect I'd find this similar to the FK8, which was fantastically capable with lovely controls, but it sounded like a hoover and lacked a sense of humour for me. The new one is also a big car, and even more expensive. I went for the more playful and fun i30N!

I’d LOVE ❤️ ONE… but at £50k with a family, a Celica and an st150 to run.. my wife went for a 2019 Octavia VRS 245… we can at least afford that.. This type R is just out of reach. We went from a FN2 to the VRS 245- the VRS is great. It’s an estate so room for the kids and it sure isn’t slow! 😮

CTR was on my wish list but didn't need the space so went for a GR Yaris, saved several £k, proper old school handbrake & suits my B road driving. No regrets.

The hot hatch for me is the Acura Integra Type S (although I know you don't get that car outside of North America). Traded in the FL5 Type R for the Acura, since I'm on the wrong side of 40 years old. The Integra's exhaust note with much more character than the Civic Type R has is also a major reason why I chose it.

I so remember you from Top Gear Vicky, you haven't aged one bit, your as Beautiful as ever. Great review, but to expensive for my blood, I'm so happy with my 2014 Fiesta ST, it has 117,000 miles on it and still runs great, as it's on a Cobb stage two Tune, 3' MBPR exhaust, short shift kit and sticky Michelin Pilot Sport tires, at 110,000 I put my 7th set of tires on it, at 76 years young it's the most Fun car I've had.

Hi Vicks, Love your reviews and OMG. If I lived in the UK, the Honda Civic Type R would be perfect for me. I so so so so ❤❤❤❤ it. I'm a tall 6 ft person so yeah, comfy seating position for me. And I do love a fun to drive machine. I own a Honda Fit 2016 currently and I know it is a very reliable car, so in saying that, this car is right up my alley.

Sorry Honda but this is priced way to high for a damn fun car. At this price range there are so many nearly new true premium cars that come into play. Dang what a world were living in now eh :/

Golf is the better car if you have only one car and need the 4 wheel drive for winter driving. Otherwise, the CTR will rock its world. Good luck with out of warranty work with the Golf .. VW gets super expensive and isn't made nearly as well as the CTR. The Honda is just a better car ... especially if you have cars in the stable for winter.

Seeing as you mentioned the golf r, even though I like it, I would like to point out the one thing that I don't like about them and Audi's. Everytime you have a cam belt change you have to replace the water pump, and that's because the impeller is made out of plastic and as a consequence it degrades until the water pump is completely useless. So anyone who thinks that you can't go wrong with German cars are incorrect, because the VW group like to use cheap parts that aren't built to last, unfortunately.
@davothegreat9990

@mlg223

@@davothegreat9990 that's fair enough. It's just that there are water pumps used on engines by cheaper brands that use an aluminium impeller rather than plastic which lasts considerably longer, and seeing as both VW's and Audi's are more expensive brands I think people would expect them to use premium quality parts rather than cheap materials.
@Vermonstered
3 күн бұрын
@@mlg223That's the problem with German designed vehicles. They fell in love with plastic and very thin covers that always warp and bend. So anytime you ever open up the engine to access to timing or valves or a secondary belt it's a long series of what you need to replace simply because nothing can be taken off and reused. Along with everything is not designed to last 10+ years hence the plastics that will heat age and break regardless. Add on the poor PCV systems which force you to take the intake manifold off every 100k for blasting it's kinda a money pit to hang onto any of these too long.
@mlg223

@@Vermonstered you make complete sense. I have heard (from a motor factor) that newer VW's and Audi's tend to burn more oil than their predecessors did which strongly suggests that they're using poor quality piston rings, even from brand new. I was talking to someone who had bought a 2013 Mercedes Benz e250 the other day and from what I could tell those engines have excellent quality piston rings because they don't burn any oil. I still wouldn't want to own one because they're too expensive on parts, but I do think they make some good engines.
