I don't mind the look, especially from certain angles, but it is definitely a little bit 'over the top'. No different than an STI or similar though really. Probably so fun to drive that you forget about the boy-racer looks pretty quick. I have a feeling they will have done some extremely impressive things despite it being FWD. Also if they are rating that motor the same way as the other Civics, it's significantly more powerful than the press materials suggest.
Yeah, I agree. I like it but I don't love it. Everything is functional and unless it's x3 more msrp it's difficult to have everything in one package.
Speaking to the power level, the previous generation had 306bhp (Europe 98 Ron) and was trapping 105-106 in the quarter. That's hustling. This model should be good for another 1-2mph.
That's actually really impressive considering a mustang GT traps 110-112 and to put that into perspective, It'll likely be neck and neck at our altitude from a roll. That's retarded for a 42k fwd car.
