Type-Rs

[Paul w]

I'm in a bit of a dilemma.

I'm looking at changing my Honda CR-v for something a bit more sporty, but its got to be fairly practical and have good motorway manners too. (noise etc)

Can't be too thirsty either, or if it is, it needs a big tank as I get tired of filling the CR-v every 300 miles.

I'm looking at the type Rs of each model, problem is as follows...

Integra - Love the looks and the drive, but would it drive me mad after a few hundred motorway miles?
Civic- Had one, Loved it, sold it, never seemed able to relax in it.
Accord - Not driven one, but not sure about the front end styling


Any help anyone????

ITR 240 to 250 miles per tank ( 24/25 mpg )

looks as if you should go ATR route then

You still got yours steve, or did it go to make room for the elise?

What are your thoughts on the ATR?

Yeap still have my ITR, "my sensible car" Have managed to kill 2 front tyres in 3000 miles which is not good, and as i said its abit of a gas guzzler, compared with the Elise @ 32-35 mpg.

Have not lived with an ATR, but I know of a few minor niggles on them noises etc. but nothing major, Early pre-facelift cars run on 98 Ron whereas later are adjusted for 95 Ron.

Would you change the badge on the front?

I had a Celica 190 over in Holland. Good mpg as long as you keep the accelerator off the floor and 145 mph if you do floor it.
