Very nice post 🙂 Congrats on your choice, you probably did some thorough research to choose it over others. I've recently purchased Lexus ISF and I'm a happy man, but before that I've spent more than 5 months looking at cars like Hyundai i30n fastback, MB A35 amg, BMW m140i/m240i, Seat Leon ST 300 and ofcourse Honda Civic Type R. When it came to driving - there was no competition.. Civic is superior to others, I've noticed it on the first corner and even more so when I got further away from prying eyes of Honda dealership 😂 You can absolutely floor it like a madman and expect it to take any bend. There's no FWD/AWD nonsense that plagues other cars, no shaking, erratic shocks through steering wheel, no nose poke. I am not sure how to explain it, but it felt like a complete product, unlike some with powerful engine slapped in some ecobox. There are bits I do hate about Civic Type R. Infotainment is even worse (meh, I don't care about this that much tbh) than on BMW and looks of rear end. Front end is absolutely gorgeous, but rear makes me shiver. I still went for older ISF (it won against my other options like VXR8, 300c Srt8 options) I can always buy any of them wee fast cars later on, but big engine cars are dying breed. Hope you have loads of fun, Honda Civic community is full of professional drivers when under last gen it was full of kids 😂
