Test drove fn2 civic type r

It's not how the GT86 looks, it's how it does what it does. And well you know it

The F-Type is gorgeous, although I wonder how long it'll be before we start to get tired of Ian Callum's look.

I personally think the GT86 is stunning.
Just get rid if the wankwheels and lower it.

I have the 1.8 SOHC iVTEC Civic and always wondered what it would feel like with another 60 bhp. TBH I always imagined it would be fairly good. The 140bhp one I have feels quite sprightly. I think the FN2 is considered heavy compared to other Civics rather than the Lude.

I have been on track at the same time as a stock GT86 and from what I saw I would put it in the thoroughly meh category, needs more power. It could have been the driver, he did put it in the tyre wall

I agree, new cars are Clubbing Eddy! I think my problem is that since new cars are expensive I expect them to be amazeballs, much better than a £1K-£2K Lude.

The lack of power isn't the only issue with the FN2....

Dat torsion beam rear suspension.

This, Honda went back to the dark ages to keep costs down.
