Default Selling worst car ive owned - want a CTR

Hi all,

Just about to sell our punto GT, without going into too much detail its been a complete lemmon, theres nothin else left to go wrong on it so its time to shift it (he says lol)

Ok, its for my brother who dont do many miles but doesnt want another turbo car again. Only choice really is a Civic typr R, dont want any clio sport as we have also a williams on the drive so no more flimsy french stuff.

So what can we expect to pay for one? will we get one for less than 8K? whats their weak spot?

It must be more reliable and fun than our GT ??

Cheers

Dont rule out turbo's based on a Fiat, other companies do them better.

Turbo + low miles/short journeys is a bad idea i think.

for £8000 you may get a 2002 plate. Owned one for a year which is the face lift final edition model loads of plus's and very little down sides. Best place to find one is Civic Type R Owners Website and to get all the info. The guys are great on there and you will probably get one with a hondata ecu that can be remapped.

We are looking forward to owning a honda as their reliability would be much welcomed after our last cars constant let downs

Happy days

Very little downsides?? Apart from...No torque, noisy as hell, hard as buggery, not particularly fast, no traction in the wet, looks like a granny mobile.

Don't know, but I have - and it's all true + you get very dodgy electic steering that jams in carparks.

Probably the worst "performance" car I've ever owned.

It was 2004 model BTW.
