Would absolutely love a civic type r in either guise. Just damn bloody expensive i’m a massive honda fan. Shame they had to kill vtec for emissions though. Love a screaming n/a

My S2000 is almost 10 years old but it’s going nowhere, it comes alive at 6k rpm up to 9 an a bit, get her hot then make her scream.

It is certainly different. I'm half/half with the alloys, I don't like the body wide rear light bar, but the rest of the car looks pretty good to be honest.

I had an ek9 import with a dc2 import engine in it some years ago, spoon ecu 4.5k to 9.5k vtec. Still wish i had it

The Civic Type R Sport Line is no doubt a very good car but I really couldn’t live with the looks and the ‘Halfrauds body kit’ styling. Just my opinion though.......

I agree, its great for 17 year old chavs, but to my eyes its a dogs dinner. Even the normal Civic is chavtastic enough. Seems to be a Japanese trend, some new Toyotas look like Picasso designed them.

The New Cupra is OK looking, but yeah, its like a focus and a mk3 had a baby.

any ideas when the press start to get hold of them?

Hopefully in about 2-3 weeks, back out in Barcelona in a few weeks just hoping these are on the lineup.

Sept / Oct time for customer deliveries. ST will come before the 5 Door so may be Aug/Sept. May let you end the lease deal a bit early if you are staying in brand.

My lease ends in June. Is Sept /Oct the defo earliest for 5 door?

 

[AndrewJB]

Yes

You will be able to extend your lease if you speak to finance. Let them know you are staying in brand and have a car on order.

Oddly enough VW finance have been on today asking if I was going to sign up for new deal. Explained that would happy to do so if they could give me prices and more specification info. Oh and any "offers"

Have seen suggestions of more colour options. Has there been any confirmation on that?

Colours have been announced in the article. Not aware of any others at the moment.

That’s a shame

Looks like a focus St! Doesn’t stand out for me in a crowd anymore.

I'd hardly say the mk3 stood out in a crowd

 

[AndrewJB]

If anything with its new badge (Cupra badge) and sharper lines etc it stands out a lot more, chrome wheels etc.

Eh.....Mk3 is the ultimate sleeper. Totally unnoticeable. I love mine, just don't recognise that it would stand out ANYWHERE!. The Mk4 looks much more special to me, regardless of any potential similarities with a Focus (I don't see those either, but still).

Ok here is a side profile comparison between the MK3 and MK4 - I've also photoshopped the ST's wheels on the 5 door PHEV so you can see what the Petrol 5 door will look like.
