Tried both the CTR and the S2000 if it was between them both I would say S2000 for the RWD barrel 'o 'laughs (I'll never look at roundabouts in the same light again!) but for practicalites sakes the CTR, its a great alrounder excellent handling, and a strong engine, all that matters really! I do fear though there are a lot of the CTRs about now though, perhaps its because I notice them more !

I like the new gun metal colour on the civic. They look greatwith the multi spoke alloys.

How about the new astra 3 door fast back turbo. looks great, 240 bhp, so its fast. only trouble is its a vauxhall.

Might be pushing off on a tangent here but what about a Celica GT4 ?

Plenty of power, mods, turbo, 4 wheel drive, reliable ???? Not new though

Nice lookin car mate - shame it's not black :lol:

was "following" a Type R round some roundabouts a few months back. His back end was breaking away round the roundabout while i was stable and of course took him on acceleration on the way to the next roundabout.

Maybe you could try to hire one for a day or two - do some more extensive research ?
