Honda Uk phoned me up last monday and invited me to take out the new honda civic type r gt so i booked a test drive for 01.00 oclock on saturday. saturday, went down to the showroom in southampton and it 01.15 someone said can i help after being there for 20 mins but there was only two of them there so cant mone. got in the car and well i like the shape and when you site in it, it feels nice you are sat in the right position and well smart diles and it is all in the driver reach so far so good. well put the key in and it all lights up and then you press the red start button and you get a little rev up to 2000 revs and off you go. lovely to drive and make you feel in control as well as bushing you on, cornering is very good then got on the m271 out of the ronudabout in second gear at 6000 rev got onto the strate and booted it and that is where the 201bhp comes in with the vtec and at that point i feel a sleep. it was not what i was thinking it would be you do get a little kick but you get more of a kick out of a starlet dont get me wrong it is fast but not what i was expecting. so out of 10 6 1/2
