Looks kinda the same.... just sportier.

Yea.. Agreed.. Its same..
But the 4 door model is so ugly IMO..

Is it the same 160 horses? as the American Si. I wish they would go back to the 2001 Si design, or take the new Civic EX design and si it. I dont like the Skunk design. Looks to girly.

the type R in UK has 200 hp (2.0L engine, 0-62mph in 6.6sec), type S in UK = Si in North America (160 hp)

not bad, as long as it doesnt receive a wing the size of my dinner table and an exhuast tip wider then my toilet. nothing against Civics, they are good cars for what they are, but wings and stickers dont make it a race car

still don't know why they're exporting type-r?
its crap that only britain gets them...not even japan has them

i still like the previous version....good car just going around the city.

This little lifting has improved the not-type R Civic IMO

wow,thank you for clearing that up on the engines,i had no clue,i saw a civic a few weeks bak and it wasnt a type R and it was movin pretty quick,so i put up chase,as we got to twisty roads,i managed to get up close and he obviously realised i was puttin up chase,so he put his foot down,by this time i was bout a bus lengh behind him,around the corners,he wasnt,making the gap bigger,but at the same time i wasnt making it smaller,then we hit the straight and he took off quickly,when we hit a traffic light,it said civic type S on the back,i was like what the fuck is that

if you remember TT i spoke to u after that and i was goin crazy coz we didnt know what engine it was.lol

We have the 200HP type-R's in Denmark as well, and with the somewhat agressiv styling it looks alright. But the vanilla versions just look way to dull IMO. Same goes for Toyota Corolla, and Pug 307.

ok people. look at the picture of the civic, close you're eyes and imagine a massive wing on it, and a meugan/spoon sticker...

blah · 09-03-2003, 06:47 PM

:looks out his window sees civic with massive wing coming up the road, looks further sees a DSM with stickers, and wing: I didnt have to close my eyes to see that.
