It was a 5 door and it definately didnt have the 17" alloys option ticked when bought new........ looked like a POS IMO TBH........
And how do you work that one out? I did 7.1 at inters and that was after bogging down in 1st gear. 16v is a full second slower to 60, is your car magic or has it been breathed on - in which case it's a worthless arguement cos you're not comparing standard to standard. God this is getting boring now. Everyone on here who's car is faster than mine? I can actually keep up with you y'know...I have no logical reason for claiming this I JUST CAN. Edited by: b'locks
Oh yeah standard stats *yawn!* Taken from http://www.carstats.co.uk/ mk2 16v -16.2 1/4 8.0 to 60 mk3 16v - 16.4 1/4 8.1 to 60 mk3 vr6 - 15.7 1/4 7.1 to 60
Some of your comments were creasing me up....something like "wtf is that piece of sh*t? Piece of Jap crap innit! Looks like it's held together with sellotape! Not like this baby, this is a first class piece of German engineering - know what I mean?!" "oh look, Ol' Mr Sticky Back Plastic is turning off at our Junction...Piece of Japanese sh*t!"
had a full on test last night. hung with the vr from 0 up to 100 then we slowed down. mate had an extra man in his car tho
man, this thread is funny! my 2p worth...civic type s is a good match to a mk3 valver...i go up against one alomst every morning and there is nowt in it...as for the quality of the cars...well, you would do well to find a better in its class.
I'd have to say that from the sl*gging Honda build quality is getting, most haven't been in one. I'd be suprised if a mk5 Golf had any better build quality than a Honda Civic/Accord etc. There is a reason why they cost about 2k more than the equivlent Ford or Vauxhall. I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that Honda build quality is almost definitaley better than that of the mk3, VR or no VR (comparing new to new of course). But then that's progress and so it should be. Fordo! Edited by: cforehead
Gary You know ive got a 9A with some nice tuning goodies in the garage I actually quite like Honda's tbh. And the build quality of their bikes has been the industry benchmark for years. If i didnt love VW's i would probably be driving a Honda Civic Type R and towing a large finance agreement Edited by: DuBDuDe
Unfortunately been in quite a few honda's, Dad's a mechanic dont forget! All very plastic fantastic tbh, not my cup of tea at all. At the end of the day though, they are as good as most modern cars produced these days, hence why i "CHOOSE" to own a love MK2 GOlf instead
