So after 2.5yrs and 17k miles of fun it was time to say bye bye to the FK8 yesterday. It was our first TypeR and first Honda.
Thoughts:
Good
Brilliant fun to drive when 'on it'
Great value for performance offered
Good mpg (has averaged 32.5mpg)
Depreciation (or lack of) - it retained over 70% at p/ex at a non Honda dealer!
Huge boot and good cabin space
Brilliant front seats
Standard kit level on the GT model
Very rare on the road
Love Sonic Grey
Bad
Too wide to drive quickly on a b-road
Lack of individual option for suspension, steering and throttle. I want comfort, sport and R+ for 90% of the time
Slow infotainment system
4 seats only
Lack of character. It's been a very good car but we haven't developed an emotional attachment
Ugly
Stupid 20" wheels - risk of pothole damage, road noise and expensive tyres
Poor quality, rusting wheel nuts and Honda's refusal to change under warranty...grr
