Subarus are nice. I only like the classic Imprezas thou (2 door ones).

Ah, you'll mean the P1 or 22B versions?



Always been one of, if not my favourite motor

Is it Diesel or does it just use unleaded? I've heard bad things about the reliability of the regular gas burning VW's.

It's a diesel, and supposedly gets 60 MPG. VW is looking at bringing it into the US, but with market entry only around 2010 at earliest.

Nice, but not as nice as this version
I just wish mine was a WRX. They really made the 08 WRX/Impreza look like every other car out on the road.

True, the '07 started to lose that Impreza look with the low height rear spoiler not coming as standard along with other bits and pieces but the '08 has lost it almost completely.

If you're gunna go for the new 'Hawk Eye' shape, the RB320 is the one to have...

problem is they don't even sell that edition here. We never get the good limited editions!

Definately the best version. Is that one yours?

The civic is a great car. If you're looking for cheap reliable transportation. If you're looking for a race car....you're an idiot.

You're forgetting the European Honda Civic Type R with 201hp, acceleration 0-100km in 6.6 seconds and top speed of 235km/h.





Cheers.

Sorry, performance or not, the new European Civic is ugly as fvck. You're better off with a VW Golf/Rabbit GTI than that one.

[TAP-A343]

I don't agree with you. I think the Civic has a very original and futuristic design whereas the Golf has a conservative if not bland one.

Golf's look very similar for more than 15 years now.

Cheers.

@ Colin:
Golf is classic, maybe if you're into that, but have a look at the Civic, damn that is hot, I love the sleek and like TAPPY said, very futuristic design... Im all for that Honda... !

Jordan,

Show me video of a crash out on the streets, not in some controlled situation that the company is doing themselves. Then I'll think about it.

Well its not actually the best test out there of a smartcar.(youtube) You'll definitely lose your legs in case of a frontal crash whether if it happens there on the streets or on a test-course., just wave buh bye to your legs, mate.

I sat in a new Civic Type R the other weekend....did not like it one bit!

Its not bad, its slightly over the top, but it could be worse.

That rear end is horrendous. It looks like a hatchback that some "ricer" decided to put a spoiler on.
I'm wondering why Honda felt the need to make the newer Civics sit so low to the ground too. Hopefully it serves a purpose, because that damn thing is so easy to scrape on steep driveways and all that. And the blind spots are horrible. And the front end is too hard to see. Ok I'm done complaining now.
