Luuuuvvv that Alcantara wrapped steering wheel :spaz: How much did it cost and how long did it take? Did the shop remove the original leather or did they wrapped the Alcantara over it? I would have done the shift boot too, and maybe the dash if it doesn't break the bank.

I see. Then I won't feel like a total idiot for starting off the R34 as if I was driving a beat up Japanese mini van.

I had the chance to drive a presumably stock Nissan GTR R34 in Tokyo lately. Drove for about 160 miles and the stiffness of clutch and gas pedal nearly crippled both my knees the next day. The R34 clutch felt super hard and I needed to exert quite a strong stepping force as i clutch in. The...

Sounds pretty good in the YouTube video, but I'm not fan of the looks.

Sonic Gray CTR review in French

I hope there will come a time where the front seats can be spec'd in black rather than red. Just like the limited black edition FK2 in its last run. Black hides most things.

Is the seat fabric real Alcantara or cloth with a suede feel? My Recaros with Alcantara have endured more than 10 years of abuse and neglect and are holding up fine, despite the usual wear marks.

I'm still driving an old Honda that doesn't have these features :(

This menu looks like some high level software component architecture. The look and feel isn't inline with the rest of the user interface. Could this be some back door which Honda didn't patch up prior to production?

The dude in this vid does a lot of car reviews in China. He seems to have quite a bit of automotive engineering knowledge and can do all the basic stuff like heel & toe, clutchless shifting.

New CTR review by Lauren Fix on YouTube

The dude who lost his job was the one driving , or the dealer staff who let the maniac behind the wheel?

This is probably the worst kind of error. New model with an error that happened and miraculously went away, no precedence recorded (yet) and you won't know when it may come back. It's probably better for it to be repeatable under a known set of circumstances, which would make it easier for the...

Hope this can be (easily) worked around and not end up with some sort of recall. For me, it's a real deal breaker if I can't even trust Honda to get this electric parking brake done right. Imagine if you need to send the kids to school for exams, or there's a life and death emergency to attend...

That's great! I always prefer to use engine brake over the brake pedal as I feel is a smoother way to drive on normal roads.

@foxxdie , how's the responsiveness of the engine brake? As in, when you lift your foot off the gas, do you feel the car slow down immediately? Some cars engine braking effect is muted which I dislike.

Those magazine quality pics need your personal watermark on them, just in case some auto review websites rip them off. You should consider doing series of shoots for all CTR colors. This car deserves to have its beauty enshrined in high quality pics.

The class of COE costs USD 34K based on the last round of bidding. Prices seems to be dropping recently, most likely due to the slowing economy. It's a game that can never be won by the working class.

T3's review states that the CTR has: "The new Honda Civic Type R (2017) is also installed with Honda's "SENSING" suit of active safety technologies, which includes a Collision Mitigation Braking System, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keeping...
