I'm only 33 and this is my sixth new car. Had a few used before.
I'm also 50 and this is my fifth car!
50 years young!Whatās up everyone
Just picked up my PMM the other day and my wife commented that Iām getting too old for something with such a large wing.
Iāve been into Hondaās since 1988 when I had Jackson Racing suspension in my CRX.
I thought I was done til they announced the Civic Type-R was coming to the states and I knew I had to get one!! Iām glad I Did! My BEST Honda yet!
Iām 45 years old and proud!!
Hereās a few pics of my Hondaās from the past.

For you older owners, what other cars did you look at before getting the Type R. Has it met all of your expectations?I have been thinking on what car to get next as I use to have a Cadillac ATS-V which was a phenomenal performance car however due to GM reliability it was bought back as a lemon. Since then I have been looking for a new daily sedan that is fun and reliable. My top picks were a used Charger Hellcat, and a used F80 M3 but after contemplating for a bit I am just thinking they maybe overkill for my needs. Also I am also liking the idea of not spending $50k on a used car. I have looked at the Type R and I liked the space and hatchback aspect of the car. The interior was nice in the front, didn't care for the rear seat material but with young kids it may work better. The one hump I am having a hard time coming over is the FWD. I have never bought a fwd car before because of the way they drove but it seems that the R has some magic. With that being said we get a fair amount of snow up here so it would work better than the M3 and Hellcat. Also I have a Turbo S2000 that I have owned for the past 15 years and just love it and I am hoping the Type R will give me the same feeling of passion. Sorry for being long winded but I want to make the best decision possible. Thanks again
I too thought about the big wing and would I look like a clown driving this car around or a wanna be teenager. But then I saw spy shots of a 2020 CTR with the small wing and it didnāt do the car justice And then realized how cool that large wing is!Whatās up everyone

So funny!Man I love seeing all these gray-hairs (like me, at 57) getting into this car. At least 10 times since I have owned the car, when I get out, someone will say "I was expecting some kid to crawl out of that car". I am always sure to tell them I am a kid, I just went gray very early.
100% agree w/ this. Asking this same quesion on facebook or reddit will get you different results.This forum is going to skew older simply because it's a forum.
Also, as much as everyone says Type R is for boy racers, try being 18 and affording one on your own.
