Not really Liam. You should have driven it - remember when i first drove your Civic for the first time - after loving the thrill of being the passenger - i loved the performance, handling was to get used to, but hated the position of the wheel, remember? I know i've just picked one from a pool to be my new company car til decemeber, but that's knowing that the pros will outweigh the cons. If however i picked it without ever having driven one, and i found out later that i hated the driving position, i'd be gutted that i didn't drive it first. it's not just about the look of a car or its reputation that you should go on when buying a new car
After all, we're not talking about buying a £500 banger here are we - over £20K for a car is a hell of a lot of money - you should have driven first.
(another valuable lesson from your big bruv :wink: )

In what way??
CTR is a great car I'm not denying that but IMO there is no way it could match an STI for cross country pace, simple as.
What MY did you test as well as the there have been big changes for the MY06 cars, so much so that when Autocar test drove one they said that if you can accept the harsh ride then 'it is a stunning machine to drive' and 'the fact remains there are few cars on this earth that can stay with a well-driven Impreza STi – and the new car is quantifiably faster than any production Impreza that’s gone before.'
Don't get me wrong, your entitled to your opinion and the STI may not be to everyone's liking but the new car (or even the MY05 for that matter) is such a step forward I don't think it can hardly be called sh1t.

Yeah but we're not talking some budget cr@p here are we, we're talking about a car that has been focused for the driver so I hardly think that the driving position is gonna be bad (I'm not saying it'll be great either but I can't see it being bad in anyway). :roll: :roll:

There have been several major changes since that model. Suspension setup (most of the front end now shares a lot of components from the Spec C), intercooler has been changed for a more efficient one, different LSD's front and rear plus the STI now wears the Potenza RE070 which is basically a semi cut slick. :wink:

That's an accurate comment I will say. For what you pay for the CTR you get so much in return, but as for the fuel economy, well I'm averaging 22mpg all the time so that's not really an issue for me :lol:
:shock: Personally i would never:
a) Buy a car without driving it
(I found the My06 boring tbh...fast a to b but no fun imo)
b) A early production Honda made in the UK... it has PROBLEMS written all over it :lol:
c) Buy a car where the spec hasnt been finalised! It might turn out to be a 1.1 with 50bhp :lol:
