Grab a Typre-R variant

We had a Civic Type-R on track last year.
He embarrassed SPORTS CARS costing 5 times more than him
THe suspension is well sorted out and the engine could really pull.
Yes, teh driver was good and the track's a twisty -- but the hairpin is one that often FWD's lose out on but it was so well blanced he could go into the apex on 3 wheels braking VERY late anda scrubbing speed.

The MAINSTREAM Honda is aimed at a person who WANTS reliability and sadly that generally means a person NOT Lookign for excitement and so the match of "borign" I'd asgree with.
Seen the new Civic in real life ? Saw my first today adn it IS a stunner adn looks just right !!! If they had the Typre-R now instead of the "sport" I'd likely go one as we're needing new "family car"
