Mine of course is the CWWelcome! You are going to love it! Other posters have already hit the mark on what to watch for. Enjoy the Type R awesomeness! Which color will be yours? CW for the win FYI .
Others have already filled you in on a bit: paint (don't even look at it funny), pot holes (haven't had too many issues with this in the Chicagoland area, even during the winter), small gas tank. One new comment I will make is that if you're a little harder on your brakes (> 150-200PSI, about 2 "bars" on the in-dash gauge), it should almost never squealHey guys! First post ever here! I definitely am new to being on a forum and new to owning not just 1 but 2 Type R civics! Super excited. Have had 2 SI civics but traded them in this weekend for Type R civics for the fun of it. What should I expect being a new Type R owner?!
MEEEEE lol Hello! Expect rubber neckers for a bit hehe. This car GOES. Even in Comfort mode this thing hauls it. Like another said before about tire pressure in cooler weather, you at least won't have to worry about snow in your area. Premium gas! With sunny CA I'd suggest window tinting, and for foggy days I enjoy the Lamin-X yellow tint; super easy to apply. You'll be addicted to driving it. I use mine as a daily and there was never a moment I didn't enjoy it even if I was sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Congrats and welcome!Also any other girl CTR owners?!
I'm also a girl CTR owner and loooove this car! Got mine right at a month ago! Congrats on your 2x purchase!Also any other girl CTR owners?!
1. Watch out for potholes
2. Get some mudflaps
3. Get it tuned and use Hondata traction control
4. Get prepared to visit the gas station a lot lol, tank is tiny
5. Lots of break squeal in the cold
