2015 Honda Type R Thread

[scrawnban]

Issues with valves being assembled in the heads in USA.

One UK owner has hairline cracks in his thermostat housing, pissing coolant all over the engine bay. Honda don't know when they can get parts to sort it and also told him they're not in a position to give him a courtesy car indefinitely either. That itself is disgraceful for ANY new car. Think UK law will also allow him to demand a full refund.

Jesus that's bad. Honda have made a balls of this car.... If Ford do it all properly focus rs is going to be a serious car for the cash.

Just had a good look round one of these in work.

God it's a horrible looking thing! It's an 18 year olds wet dream I'd say.

Give me the RS or R any day.

The motor trade is a weird and wonderful place!

The red one from the dealer off the N7?

 

[keith dublin]

Yea I think that's the car
Was in the window of the showroom

 

[Pedro555]

Same as the white on in pic with a few mugan bits on it

I was on the nass road at newlands cross last Friday around 1pm and a saw a red unregistered new civic type r on a car transporter heading in the naas direction,

And I like the look of them, over the top yes but I'm a big child????

The mugen kit tones it down a bit. I prefer the oem spoiler but it's nowhere near as good as the concept devil horn lighted spoiler.

And arrogance from sales people is the other bane of the motor trade big lad .

Myself and the missus weren't even acknowledged in several large dealerships across dublin last year .money in the pocket ready to buy . Only interested in whoever came in wearing a suit and looked to have a few bob .

Not a dig at you lad just an observation

Dont doubt it the standard can be very poor alright Tommy.


Seen very bad behaviour and pratices over the years but in my opinion all comes from the dealer principle and if there a good one in charge makes a big difference.

I always dealt with and did the most deals with the people not wearing suits they were the ones with the cash and willing to buy and ones that had access to credit.

Going back to the above new hot metal like the Type R ect do bring out a serious lot of wasters that only want to bring it out and rag it.

A total No no on limited number cars like above.

A few common sence questions from the garage and if genuine buyer person would never be refused but extremely easy to see who is and who isn't.
