I am not sure, cool/uncool... but I used to have it "actully i still do" but after having the GTi Golf, I really see the difference. But I gave it cool, because it came out in 2001-02... Cool it is :fadein: :fadein:

OK...it's a bit of a rice-mobile, and sort of...um...frumpy-looking, but that engine and gearbox are a revelation, not to mention the fantastic FWD handling. It deserves a rating better than uncool...

it's uncool, because to me it has the same shape like a family wagon. shure it handles very well and it's performance figures are good but i don't like how it looks... ricy....

Uncool to me - it seems to be a car you will like if you are 19-21 years old and then lose interest in quickly.

Cool only because I'll probably never see a real one (though there are plenty of idiots that glue R badges to normal Civics). I never thought a Honda hatchback would be one of my dream cars, but these things are sweet.

It deserves a "Cool" Rating for just being a Type R!

It's quick, handles well and is practical. It's a cool car, unless your a Ferrari fan boy.
