I don't understand the folks that said no. Hell yes I would drive it. What's that Type-R? 180HP or somethin'? 7thgeners f*ck up their car with cheaply fabricated turbos just to try to push 180hp. Plus the right side drive is koo. Buddy of mine used to drive a skyline and of course the steering is on the right on those too. Anyway, the Type-R is a sweet car.

Type-R's are nice cars, pretty sure the Euro version has 223hp like the Japanese.

That being said though, prefer to buy an RSX-s. I just don't like how the car looks.

Sure. I'd drive one, but I wouldn't buy one. If I did happen to have one given to me, I'd take off all those stupid type-R stickers and badges though.

I agree with cambo...I wouldent drive it, just like I wouldnt bang paris hilton. For the cost of a type r, you can get something just as fast, with a leather interior, quieter ride, better handling, etc. It's just another civic...whop de do.

I said "used to" drive a skyline. He got it from someone when he lived in California. He sold it to someone here in Colorado Springs and bought himself one of those Saturn IONs. He's about 45 years old. A Skyline wasn't his dreamcar like some of the 16 year old kids around here. Since he sold it, we haven't seen it around town. Yeah, he did sell it to some kid too. I think his Skyline was like a few years model before 2000. It was quite a bit dinged up when he got it from the guy in California.

He didn't ask if we would pay the money to have one shipped here plus the cost of the car. He asked if we would drive it. Also, alot of people pay alot more money to do an engine swap or put a turbo in their current Honda Civic. Figure Honda Civic EX + Engine Swap or Turbo or even an Engine Swap + Turbo probably equals more money than buying a Civic Type-R. Granted, the body looks a little weak. But with a decent body kit, lowered suspension, and some decent rims, this car would rock.

I would drive that thing, you people are all troubled that said you wouldnt. Imagine a right hand drive 230hp civic type R running down your street. Say all the crap you want, you would be guaking thinking, damn I wish I had that car!
its about exclusiveness in this aspect
the shape looks horrible compared to the old R which I would love to own and harvest respectibly. Especially since there is a dealer spoon upgrade package!
hense ownage!
