I'm not liking the interior one bit! Maybe I'm getting olddezzy wrote:Blagged myself a wee test drive of the new Civic Type-R today. Was great fun to drive. I love the interior and the dash feels like something from a spaceship. I think the looks are great . . . it makes the new shape of civic look so much better. Pretty good handling on the twisties . . . it was wet so I didn't want to push it too much, plus the saleswoman in the passenger seat asked me to take it easy at one point!![]()

As a CTR (04) driver I agree with this. I test drove an Elise last year, and even after 30 mins, getting back into the CTR, the driving position felt minibus-like. But so would any hatch.I agree with Jason on the driving position, I did feel quite high up. I put that down to being used to the Elise though!
simple arithmetic old bean. Same powerplant as the outgoing model, but an increase in weight that equates to driving the old one 4-up. The old CTR was a rough diamond, but as pretty brilliantly shown in EVO with their 4/5 different tests, the new CTR is outclassed by its turbocharged contemporaries.
