Aly Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Gotta love the Vtec, my mate has An ATR (Accord T-ype R) and loves it! But the build quality just aint there, drop the Dark Knight a pm, he sold his E46 for one of these, but ended up going back to an E46!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aly Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I believe the older one is also better! And faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimzimmer46 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I believe the older one is also better! And faster yeah it is. The new one has about 20hp more but about half n ton more in weight. Think it was either top gear or 5th gear that tested em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSG Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Was that a private seller? My mates dad bought a brand new type-r and had to go on a performance car driving day (supplied by honda) to make sure he could handle the car LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a choice between 330ci or type R Kind of leaning towards the civic because the 330 will be the same as what I already have (apart from the engine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Type R's are ok nice little hot hatch but if you have the choice between one of them and a 330ci ....dude there is no comparison! BM everytime. Whatever you choose I hope you enjoy driving it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlpearce Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I think a Type R is the sort of car you would keep for a year and then get rid of where as a 330 is a keeper for 2-3 years +. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Totally agree mate. More of an inbetweenie car not a keeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
