The Type-R has great bones but Honda just cheapens it or makes it appealing more for 20 year olds with all the body cladding. Batman called, he wants his spoilers back.
And they use Brembos on the front brakes only - the rears are stock Civic!! I don’t care if it doesn’t make that much of a difference when the fronts do most of the braking on any car, it screams cheap and ugly.
And the coffee can farting exhaust tone is overplayed by every ricer. Time to get a more refined exhaust tone Honda.
The Type-R engine and chassis are fantastic. It’s just the car itself is an ugly, annoying super ricer mobile.
