Both are great cars.....each with his own charactere.

Glad that I own both of them.
Looks like I will hold the Type R for a long time, the pre Facelift Turbo Civic Type R Design I do like a lot more than the actual model.
Same engine, more hardcore than the newer ones......only the tires are smaller, which is the main factor why the new one performed a bit better.
The old one is a bit faster at the straight because of the longer gears.....but this is marginal.

Both are no daily driver cars, so only for special days.
