Hello all,

We finally got the Civic Type R in the US and I lived up to my promise to Honda to buy one if they brought it to us. I've had it just 25 days now which is enough to break it in properly. I am loving the car!
I've been a Honda driver since about 1999 when I bought a 1982 3 bbl Prelude as a spare car. It turned out to be more reliable than my primary car so I went all Honda and never looked back. Most notable cars I've owned are my 3 rubbish Preludes, 1 88 CRX, 1 99 Civic Si, 2009 Civic Si Sedan, and 95 Civic 1.5T not necessarily in order.

I'm trying to add pictures but this forum tells me they're too large to add. Is there a restriction when you're new?

It's a great car for sure yet not a perfect car. It's fast and handles remarkably well. My prior car was a 2009 227hp Civic Si Sedan, so to me the Type R is lighter, faster, quieter, better handling, and considerably more modern. It's also roomier on the inside. On the outside, it's possibly the wildest looking thing on the road. There is only 1 other in the county I live in, and he has only driven it about 4 times, so it's a very one-off car right now.
I had an opportunity to take it on the interstate when I went to the airport to pick up my sister -in-law and the thing is amazing to drive. It's completely stable at 110mph and pulls well even in 6th gear. I never felt a need to downshift.
I've had Turbo Honda's before but of course I had to build them myself. None were as fast or as stable as this.
You can see in the picture, I'm fairly big but the car is extremely comfortable. I love these seats!
