Default Bought a type r

Not a scooby though lol
Had one of these on test drive last year and they are stunning cars and really well equipped proper drivers car.
Owned my blob for 10 years and loved every minute of it but it'll be made redundant after buying this, was gonna keep it and see what happens with the prices but will be putting it up for sale shortly.

Bloke at work has one and it went in for a Miltek exhaust system and map tweek last wk, not sure what figures it's running now but it sounded mental when he was driving out of work 👍

I’ve been trying to convince my wife into one of these as she loves her cars as well as me. She has come out for blasts in all my scoobs and kit cars but she thinks she wants a Porsche!
i know a guy who’s business is building and maintaining race Subaru’s and he owns the same model type r as one of his vehicles that is running 370 BHP,he says it is an awesome car to drive. I know the looks are either loved or loathed but all the write ups say it is a great car.👍🏻

i do like the look of them apart from the exhaust which looks ****ing horrific. they have a slow 0-60 though for the type of car and power it has

You’re right SHREKSTA,the 0-60 is nothing amazing but seemingly once on the move it pulls well to a whopping top speed if you are brave enough to dabble with a jail sentence.........

Exhaust doesn't make a noise either lol, 0-60 times are pointless the real world performance is outstanding though with the low rev torque it pulls from 2k and the seats and driving position is perfect, GT model so has the honda safety systems, satnav, wireless charging etc
Defo smitten with it, had a honda accord type r before the scooby and it has alot of similar feel to that.

Same as what i had, very nice cars and functional, lots of nice toys. Stereo is a bit sluggish but does the Job. I only had it from new for 6 months then got a good deal at BMW, i do miss it though, always a special place in my heart the Type Rs
The Seats were mega really comfy and soft...

Enjoy
