Hey Everybody,

I am alreaady a member of a few other forums(not car related) so i thought i would join this one, the reason being is because i am looking for my first car and i was looking to get a new 2008 Civic Type R, the latest one...
I was looking to buy within the next few months...
I am only 16, going on 17 when i get my car and really liked the looks of this new one. Its one of the fastest naturally aspirated cars around and thats why i like it, provisional drivers here in the state of New South Wales in Aus dont allow turbo/super charge cars, no hipo V6s, no V8s,V10s, etc etc
So basically i am limited to low powered V6s, any 4cyclinder, or a turbo diesel...

I am really into cars, and my family loving performance cars i thought the type r was a great choice, and man the test drive was awesome, my dad drove it with me in the passenger seat and it went hard, really went and the performance is fantastic...

Anyways, I joined to really enquire about the car and get some feedback. Anybody own the new type r?

Thanks for your time. Jono

 

Theres one or two on here that own it. So other than what we hear, we cant help you all that much. But we will try. Welcome and if you can get a new Type R, go for it!

 

i wish they offered them in the united states i say go for itt

 

Much more driving than you'll ever do, but anything helps when looking at a new car lol -

ChampWhiteFD2 has a CTR, its super sick. If you can get your hands on a Type-R and can afford it, totally go for it.

 

Yeah, The new TYPE-R is 50% hand built in the UK by special technicians, so that made me go, i really want this car...

I have always liked the new Civic and the Type R was just a bonus...if anybody can give me some advice or information that isnt out there on this car before i buy it...
The only thing that lets me down with the civic, is its not AWD...the FWD doesnt do it justice...oh well...

Thanks for the welcoming

 

Agreed...id hug you if you got one.

 

Are u in a huging mode all of a sudden? this is like 3rd or 4th post that i read about u wanting to hug someone.

 

No doubt its a nice car......but for your first car???[sm=badidea.gif]

 

If they offered the type R in the states I would be saving for one of those instead of getting a 240 :O I say go for it if you can get one.
