Some people just cant stop slagging off GTIs...

the civic type R engine has been discontinued due to EU emission regulations anyway.  rumours have it they are going to produce a turbo charged engine next.

The new Civic Type R is a gorgeous looking car, give it a tunable turbo charged engine and id have one

mmmm not sure i think these shapes can be so radical that they age badly whereas boxy VW's and Beemers can look better with age ie the MK3 Gti looks quite cool now but when it came out it looked fair rubbish compared to MK2 whereas old preludes, mr2's, civics etc looked good at time but crap now

A colleugue of mine has an old style Type R and he raved about it and constanlty talked about "when the Vtec kicks in at around 5k it flies!".
I threw him the keys of my ED30 and said go for a spin.
20mins later,he came back and as I expected the "it's alright,but it aint no Vtec" looked at me and said....."Thats a fecking AWESOME machine,theres just so much torque in any gear! Wanna swap?"

The look of my Golf makes me smile. The sound makes my heart race. The fuel consumption makes me cry and yet would I change it not a chance

pal of mine had full TBE, intake, new ECU and remap on his mk1 type R, spent about 2.5k on it, then was horrified when he couldnt keep up with my vRS  that had a £350 bluefin stage remap on it.  

He sold up and bought a vRS as well lol.  Hes gone crazy now though and drives a 450hp EVO IX lol.  reckons he'll never go to a non turbo car again

ha this so makes me laugh. should have seen a guys face 1 time when I had my mk1 octy. I was on a dual carriageway and pulled along side him. he really thought he'd got something special, I left him for dead, my 50 yr old father in law was in with me and as we ended the carriageway he was nowhere so I waited for him as he pulled back along side me he popped his window down a said "dude that's rapid what's in it" to which my father inlaw replied "'there w**k, buy a skoda". I nearly wet myself and he wheelspun off nearly crying. lol. don't let em get to ya buddy.

I bought a ctr after my R32... Regretted it so much after 300miles it stayed in the garage till I could sell it... Lost about 2k on it but just wanted rid! Lol

I don't see the point in having this sort of argument; as they say opinions are like arseholes, everyone's got one but as long as you're happy with your choice is all that matters.  Life would be boring if we were all the same.

Thanks for the input folks. Just to add, had a honda civic coupe 1.7, engine was relaible and solid but the bodywork literally started falling apart after 7/8 years from a car which i had bought brand new. This is a common thing with Hondas from what I have seen and heard. Have heard good things about the VW build quality so am hoping this is not an issue with my Golf.
