2002 Honda Civic Type R 2.0 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Worth every penny! Buy one!
Faults:
I've had this car now for 2 months! I know it's not long ownership, and nothing has gone wrong, it's brilliant.
Only thing I could comment on is the drivers seat bolster is starting to wear, but for the mileage I was expecting that.
Wheels could do with a refurbish but will do that soon,
General Comments:
This car is brilliant! First Honda I have owned and it's very good, I previously owned a Astra, and I'm getting the same for fuel, it's not costing me anymore.
The engine is great; very revvy and I love it so!
The seating position is great, the car looks great, people look at it a lot.
I intend to own this for a while. Servicing - yet to find out, may cost me a bit, but it's worth it.
The car is very rewarding, if you drive it constantly in the Vtec, it gets you where you're going pretty fast.
BUY ONE, IT'S WORTH IT! If you're a true petrol head, the performance is great.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I only felt the need to comment on this because sometimes people read these things and take them at face value.
Firstly you bought the vehicle with roughly 100k + miles on it, that unfortunately means that it could not have been a certified used Honda because they only certify their work up to 80k miles when they sell used vehicles. To make it very simple you bought it and the previous owner may not have taken any kind of care of the vehicle at all. You may have wanted to buy a certified used Honda because I know for a fact that when they go through the cert. process they make sure that stuff like that is not going on with your car.
So short version is that you bought a 7 year old car and it shows because the guy that owned it before you probably ragged it out.
Last thing, oil and filter has nothing<<<>>> to do with the way your car shifts from 1st to 2nd, or for that matter any shifting at all.. ever.
