Stop sucking up to the 'Switch off yer foglights brigade' Hehe...

'c

yea agree on both points

I know the type r is very fast but I've also heard once you get over the speed, its a boring car to drive?

Hmmm... Civic's seem to get so much bashing here I thought they were all consider to be knackerish (not that it really bothers me). As for the fog light, you are right I was simply trying to appease the Fog Light Warrior's

As for the CTR and boring. Well I suppose it's how you look at it really - all cars get boring after a while once you get over the speed. Otherwise we'd never change cars! Some honest points about the Civic Type R

Cons: road noise, drinks petrol, costs a fortune to insure, hard suspension, Air con was €1,000 extra (on a €35k car), tyres won't last long. Seems to attract the 1.0L knackers. Don't ask about resale!

Advantage: it's very, very fast, for it's class, 0-60 in 6.6s!, the 2004 face-lift help make it a bit better looking (although the black helps). It's handling is superb, you really can put the car where you want it! Plus there a little rare in Ireland (because of costs).

All that aside, I like it because you never really do get over the acceleration. The feedback from the engine is excellent - hit at 6,000 rpm and all hell breaks loose upto 7800rpm (BTW don't try to do it in a bend or you will be punished). It probably as close as I am going to get to F1!

Jayo.

Don't consider the Type R knackish either. Its got the engine, handling etc to back up the sporty looks. The subtle bodykit on it is enough to set it apart from its more pedestrian cousins while not over the top. The Civic becomes knackerish when some lad puts a way OTT bodykit with a wing 1 ft over the roofline on his 1.4 Civic.

:D

Very nice impr0v, I think this Saab looks great. They've finally pulled their finger out and stopped building cars with 70s/80s designs. This looks very sleek for a Saab and bang up to date!

I should mention I live in Canada now, as I didn't drive anything when I lived in Ireland. Couldn't afford it, to be honest.

Thanks Kitty kat! :P I like the awl starlet you're after, had one for a while and loved it! But they have a tendancy to wanna throw ya into a ditch if you drive them hard! I find the handling a lot better on the Glanza (all standard of course!) but it's a wee bit slower imo, not that niticeable tho! If u get one, sort the awl exhaust and induction kit out and it's great! :P

I put a few more pics of my ride up on this...
