Aren't Honda's great?

Couldn't ask for a better manufactured and well put together car.
I think I might have to recommend the Jazz as a future alternative to the GTI. :smiley:

Honda do make the finest N/A engines. FACT.  :notworthy:

Interior quality isn't as great as VW and some of the lower spec cars are a little boring. You rarely hear of suspension bushes failing and other component problems like you do on this forum.

Overall they are better manufactured.

Looking forward to the new Civic Type-R in 2015. Knowing Honda they are taking so long to perfect it, rather than release something full of teething problems. Hope it has stronger DV's than the TFSI  :grin:

Rumour has it, it's a 1.6 turbo (probably with vtec as well  :evilgrin:)

Let's wait and see how reliable a Honda Turbocharged engine is of the same class.

The 2.0 VTEC engine was canned because it can't meet Euro 5 regs, a lot of time for a car maker to be out of a particular market although I wouldn't like to say how important this particular market is for Honda.

Comparing a smaller NA engine (Jazz) to a 2.0 Turbocharged engine isn't the fairest comparison as it has inherent reliability advantages.

It's partly the price paid for having some of the latest engine technology on a road car.

I've been a passenger in a CTR FN2 and the interior seemed fine to me...it didn't rattle which is a good start but not as polished as the VAG group.
