Yes the latest one is ok.

Tgt s2 is quite fine but still doesn't stack up to peak tguk 2002-2015

>tons of people love the car
>one guy on TV doesn't
>Veeky Forums: WOW THE CAR IS SHIT

It's because they're all too poor to afford one

One guy a yesterday tried to say "it doesn't get the power to the ground" and "its underpowered" but it gets 300hp to the wheels verified by dyno and oh boy everyone shut the fuck up then

>underpowered
>nearly 200lbs lighter than a golf r with 14 more hp and 15 more torkz
>at $5k less (and yes you can actually buy the type-r at msrp now, check autotrader)
>nearly 300lb lighter than an sti with 1 more hp and 5 more torkz
>at $2k less

The only competitor that offers more power is the Focus RS (44 more hp 55 more torkz), and even then it's still 350lb heavier and costs $7k more. Yeah they all have fake-awd (or real in the case of the STI) that get them off the line quicker, but at least imo it's not worth the increase in weight and price.

... tbqh tho I think I'd just get a GTI Sport over any of them.

>focus rs has no center diff

i did not know this

Pretty much all ford cars look amazing on paper and then are pure shit in application
Not to mention their plastic rattlebox interiors

/thread.

Doesn't make it fake AWD. They just combined left/right torque vectoring with the front/rear. Good idea in theory, never tried one to know for myself. At least it didn't use brakes for torque vectoring.

>2001 Type R

They didn't have Type Rs in 2001, wut

>not knowing who Chris Harris is
Chris Harris has more driving skill in a single pube than you could ever fucking hope to acheive.

...

>nu top gear
No.

unfortunately they didn't give the rear diff a cooler, so it overheats easily

tl;dw

Pros
>thinks it has the best engine in any hot hatch today
>loves the gearbox and clutch
>says it's more fun than a focus rs
>says it's more composed than a golf r

Cons
>hates the infotainment
>hates the exterior styling
>wishes he could mix and match the drive settings

Basically OP is a baiting faggot.

He didn't not like it though.

everyone knew that it was a flop on the day it was announced

Anyone know the road he's on?
Looks like a nice place for a trip out in the summer

...

whats the point with youtewb around 7bh

Why should I care about the opinion of a faggots who hates the MX-5?

see

Thats true for every American brand
I've heard that those new Focus RS are already getting catastrophic engine failures. This is while they are new under waranty.. Sorry but no

thank you user

Amen, he relates to Le 56% shitstains.

wew

this, op is fake news

The car itself is absolutely incredible, I'm just waiting for the inevitable mid-cycle refresh where they fix that hideous rear-end.

>the stiff suspension hurts my bum bum

why do bongs call it "hondar"

we had one in at work for a alignment before it went on to the yard. with slighly wet ground in the standerd mode, it just span the wheels. i would presume with better tyres it would put the power down but the ones that came on it were no good. traction light was flashing on a easy launch, we swtiched it off to have a see what it would do. and it span all the way to top end of 2nd. but nice car though i would have one

how the fuck do you pronounce it?
hondai?

hon-dah

Depends on the accent. I'm a bong and pronounce it "hon-dah".
Then again, I (and everyone else here) pronounce Nissan as "Nih-san" rather than "Nee-san". [spoiler]I also work for Nissan, and I've never met a single person that pronounces it the correct way.[/spoiler]

hondah and hondar sounds the fucking same dick head.

It needs a 2-door version
The rear end looks fine

lol only with a degenerate accent

one has a slightly higher tone at the end the fuck are you on about?
where do you live so i can pick on the way you pronounce something.

Am I the only one that sees this new Civic Type R as a return to the 90s/early 2000s style of Imps/Evos?

>the absolute state of brit """pronunciation"""

cambodia. bring it

Is having independent rears really considered that sporty of a thing?
even my car has that and an lsd and it is a 4 door family saloon car..

it makes bumpy corners far more stable

Soon the Asians will be making fun of how the Brits cant pronounce Ls and Rs

Its coming full circle

It isn't necessarily sporty, but with the set-up in the Type R it is, yes. The main reason he brought it up though is the previous gen had a torsion beam like most hatchbacks, which allow for more storage space.

>seppos picking on the way anyone pronounces anything
Say Worcestershire

ahh i see.
So that is why most hot hatches cock a leg going through corners.

>"derp derp derp reminds me of old hot hatches"
>"berp berp berp feels cheap and disposeable"
THATS BECAUSE OLD HOT HATCHES WERE CHEAP YOU DUMB NIGGER
A MK2 GTI WAS PISS CHEAP, WHAT WAS A NEW GTI? 1000 POUNDS? 1200? FUCKING POCKET MONEY EVEN THEN
NOWADAYS EVEN THE TINIEST LUKE-WARMIEST HATCH WILL COST YOU AN ARM AND A LUNG IF YOU WANT IT NEW
THE GRAND TOUR MIGHT BE AWFUL SUPERCAR WANKERY BUT ATLEAST THEY KNOW THAT MODERN CARS SUCK ABSOLUTE ARSE
TOP GEAR IS JUST MEMEING IDIOTS INTO LEASING BRAND NEW CARS MIXED IN WITH "LOL SO RANDUMB WEIRD CAR HUH GUISE LOOK AT JOEY FROM FRIENDS IN THIS ARIEL NOMAD XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD"

goddamn i mad.

Well, yes, that was his point. And he was talking about the interior of the sixth gen Type R.

Chris Harris is a proper car journalist.

Let me guess, you prefer watching Doug DeMuro videos, and his witty insights about dashboards and interior trims and cup holders, you fat piece of burger blasting shit.

I like Chris Harris but that doesn't excuse watching Top Gear as a whole. Also as an American I can't stand Doug Demuro and I'm kind of offended you thought we like that tongue-too-big-for-mouth kike faggot.

you can build a Mk2 that eats civics and shits out type Rs with the money spent on that weebmobile

You can also build a 4th gen Civic that eats Golfs and shits out Golf Rs. Big deal.

I mean just look at the difference between how he looks driving either. In the old civic he's constantly wowed by how it drives, he's got both hands on the steering wheel, there's a bit of fear in his face cause of how sketchy it is, but that good kind of fear and in the new civic he's just slouched back, one hand on the steering wheel and barely has anything to say.

I guess that's what people prefer, to be comfortable and not have to do anything, but god damn that just seems to boring.

His only criticisms were that he couldn't mix and match settings from the suspension modes and it looks like it's designed for 16 year olds. He was glowing about everything else.

>says it's more fun than a focus rs
>says it has the best engine in any hot hatch
>jizzes himself over the gearbox
>concludes by outright saying he thinks it's an amazing car
>hurr but I bet he secretly hates it

Seems like it'd be a hoot but what fuel do you have locally?, cause 10:1 isn't exactly high comp.

Heh, NVM, should have kept reading before I replied, didn't see the turbo.

Yeah he said all those things but just look at him

>but just look at him

Is this all anyone does on this board now?

Yes.

is this a new pasta
