Honda

however, one Honda which i loathe is the insight, that hybrid thing.

Anyone driven an Accord Type R?? Supposed to be a good handling car those.

I have...cracking car..Lovely seats..very cheap these days if you can find one..

 

[dem maser]

I did say i liked them......
An A to B family car and on occasions you can get the M5 out....

The Accord probably has the best engine note out of all the type r's, 2.2 liter and revs to 9k rpm. They are a bargain right now, it is currently SOTW on Pistonheads although the one they have featured is a shed.

How much are they

 

[GransportFan1]

Not much Dem. There is this one with a fairly low mileage for it's age.

they would be a good day to day car, very cheap, reliable and pretty quick.

Damon Hill used to advertise them......

Also anyone remember this Honda Civic limited edition?? i saw one the other day in Chester, i liked it too.

 

[Andyk]

Oh no the Jordan.....Sorry Adam that was not good and it was a terrible shade of yellow......

 

[GransportFan1]

I know they were expensive when they came out, i didn't think it was bad when i saw one the other day but then i saw the Yellow and Black leather interior, yuk.

 

[Andyk]

Think it was just a make over Adam..No extra grunt or anything...

 

[GransportFan1]

no it was just a marketing idea to shift some more civics. For what the Jordan fetches now you can get the Type R Civic for a little more money which is a much better car. Would quite like an Accord Type R as a cheap daily drive, bet they still feel quick today.

 

[Andyk]

Would imagine insurance on an Accord Type R would be eye watering for you Adam.............A shame as there are some great cheap cars out there but when you come to insure I would imagine its a no no...Ah well you will be 30 one day and then all will be good.

 

[GransportFan1]

insurance is such a pain, for 3.5k i can get a clio 182, would love one of those but the insurance is massive.

 

[Andyk]

For 3.5k you can buy a car...Shocking..

Wait until next year when the premiums go up and you will be paying £3500 to insure a 2CV.

Dont say that Benny, but it will happen yes.

Adam, talking of cars from the land of the rising sun I've just been looking at RX8's as my wife likes them...I drove one when they came out and really thought they were a very goos car..........Loz had one also I believe.................Well I can not believe how much money they have lost. You can pick a 2006 car with 60/70k on the clock for under 4k ........... Thats not a lot of money for a very good car...

 

[dem maser]

Drove loads when looking at mx5 andy and i liked them.....can be unreliable but it handles good.....

 

[Andyk]

I just can not believe how little they cost Dem, especially for a 5 year old car...

 

[dem maser]

Get a good one at 3700......they do drink oil......
