I agree with you, why is this person reading the reviews anyway?
The 'teg Type-R is a classic in every sense, looks, mechanicals handling, exclusivity. Since I drove one in 1996 (age 21, with no chance of insuring one) I have wanted one. I am now looking to buy one (after working up to it with 205GTi's, Clio Williams, Civic Type-R and Clio Cup.) It betters all these and they are a wish list of fast capable cars I guess. Morons need not apply!

Problem is that a lot of boy racers drive without insurance their cars so they can drive these types of cars.

Well here in Australia I got my VTI-R insured for $1300 an I was 19 at the time. excellent car well built. No problems with noise I guess I you are complaining about noise then you don't really want a sports car what did you expect? next you will be saying its to low or hard to get in to the back seats!! fuel economy was excellent 7.5l/100km cruising.

A VTi-R is not the same as a Type-R. The VTi-R is simply an up-spec GSi. It still has sound deadening, but it gets a VTEC engine and a few more standard features. A Type-R gets an even more aggressively tuned VTEC engine as well as as LSD and a big rear wing. But it loses the sound deadening and gets thinner glass. Both of which reduce weight, but increases noise levels inside the cabin.

Grotesque? What car are you looking at mate, I believe this is one of the best looking cars on the road and as for boy racer, definition of a boy racer is young (hence boy) try insuring one of these as a young driver!!!
