Go to www.honda.co.uk

The five door civic hatch was the first 7th gen to come out to the market, even before the sedan and coupe

Hey guys,

I live in Ireland and have a 7Th Gen Sedan. You cant get the coupe here in Ireland yet, unconfirmed if we ever will . We do get the Type R, awesome machine. The sedan is almost identical to its American counterpart, one of the biggest differences is engines and rear. The engines are offeres in 2 variances. You can get a 1.4 96Bhp or a 1.6 116Bhp option. On the rear bumper we have a compulsary fog light built into the rear bumper stuck in the right hand side. It looks real s***. Out mirrors are unpainted also plus we only get one level of trim. All trim levels in Ireland are the S. The trim is always black with black seat fabric. I will post you pics if you want to send me your e-mail address.

UK guys seem to hate civic and accord coupe, seeing it as 'AMERICAN' cars, which they are.

If I was living it UK, screw type R, I'd get the WRX killer called Focus RS, if I could get my hands on one ^^.

True, European designed Ford's are usually released in Europe first. Funny things about the Focus Rs is the price in Ireland will put many people off buying it. Over here it will cost 33,000 Euro which equates to nearly the same in Dollars $33,000. I bet you guys would get some car for $33,000

EU Ford is not THE FORD we are accustomed to. They actually make decent cars...

I dont know the exact numbers, but I thinkthat thing packs around 220 Hp and 220 lb/f...

type R? Oddysey Jr? WRX? Neon on steroid?

RS seems like a much better option than the two. lol

For $33,000 I can buy a used C5 Corvette, keep it stock, and still beat the majority of cars out there. I'd rather get a bad *** car for $33k than that.
