My FORD IKON.... coz Itz mine :cool:

[app_engine]

Honda Civic Sedan LX, for very obvious reasons :

-nice fuel economy (paid only $14,500 for this fantastic new car, unlike the highly priced hybrids, but it continues to give 30+ mpg under any driving conditions - heat / ac / city / stop-n-go etc. It only gets better in the longer expressway drives, often getting 37-38 mpg)

-solid reliability, NEVER refused to take me from point A to point B in the last 5 yrs and 94K miles & no deterioration at all in exterior / interior (i.e. in the mid-west with a few really bad winters / snow / salt etc)

-though called 'compact', decent leg room for the back seat

-trunk size comparable to any mid size car like its famed brother, Accord

(I agree it's more fun to drive the Mazda MPV minivan for the solid feeling, more room for the crowd, V6 zoom etc but the fuel economy is 20 mpg and for that single reason it does not get my vote)

Honda NSX-R
Rating:

Lighter, keener, track-optimised - the revised NSX is the latest Honda to get the 'R' treatment
By Gavin WardAugust 2002Sitting in the heavily sculpted carbonfibre seats, blipping the throttle, listening to the hard-edged bark of the keen-revving quad-cam V6, I'm about to have a truly evo moment. Ostensibly I'm in Japan to get an early drive of the next generation Accord. However, Honda has thoughtfully allowed some time in the schedule for me to have a play in the new Type-R version of the latest NSX.

The original NSX, launched back in 1990, and all subsequent ones have had development work carried out at the Nurburgring. In fact so impressed was Honda with the circuit that it built a shortened version within the magnificent Takasu Proving Ground on Japan's northern Hokkaido Island. What better venue, then, to show off the talents of the rawest, most focussed NSX.

As you'd expect, the car has been thoroughly re-engineered. Competition versions have to compete against full-house Skyline GTRs and Supras in Japan's JGTC race series.

An extensive weight reduction programme was crucial. The front 'bonnet' and rear spoiler are made from carbonfibre, and there's more of the stuff inside, along with some tasty pieces of titanium. The rear glass is thinner, even the carpets are lighter, and a wodge of soundproofing has been removed to shed a few extra kilos. Even the 3.2-litre V6 engine, which is still rated at 276bhp but much keener to rev and harder-edged than before, is now a tenth lighter, all adding up to a total weight saving of 120kg from a standard NSX's 1390kg.

Out on the track the improved power to weight ratio is immediately obvious. The 0-60mph time tumbles to 4.4sec, and there's a newfound urgency to the power delivery. The howl as the V6 closes in on the red line is just intoxicating.

Stiffened suspension and plenty of feedback from the unassisted steering puts you in much closer touch with the tarmac. Grip is phenomenal too. The bespoke Bridgestone Potenzas with their asymmetric tread pattern allow ridiculously high cornering speeds.

Modified aerodynamics also play a part here. The engineers created a flatter underbody, while the air that feeds the radiators in the nose exits from a large vent set into the bonnet. A re-profiled rear diffuser and the raised boot spoiler also help keep the car glued to the road. The development drivers assured me that sideways action is very much on, but I reckon you'd need many more quick miles under your belt before you'd feel confident getting the NSX-R seriously out of shape. Mostly it just corners with a wonderfully neutral, roll-free stance.


If you've driven any of the Type-R Hondas, the stubby, titanium-topped gearstick for the six-speed manual box will be a familiar sight. It's a joy to use, quick and smooth, the shift indicator set in the dashboard with its flashing green then red lights telling you when it's time to change up. A new set of 16-inch grooved discs provide braking power commensurate with the NSX-R's new-found urge.

There's really precious little to complain about. It's a fair bet that the suspension will crash and bang on urban roads and the unassisted steering gives the biceps a fair old workout at parking speeds. The only real gripe is the limited availability. At one stage the NSX-R wasn't coming to the UK at all, then a Honda spokesman said it was a possibility after all. Best hope for an 'official' import is if one of the six dealerships in the UK that are allowed to handle NSXs is willing to fill out all the paperwork and do the necessary conversion work. You'll probably have more luck with one of the specialist importers.

Rumour has it that the Honda UK press office is looking at getting an NSX-R over for a few weeks for UK journalists to try. As these words reach the evo office I can already visualise Meaden, Barker and co reaching for the phone to be first on the drive list. Trackday Car of the Year 2003 anyone?

Had you worded the thread title as "sports" "performance" etc, then I would have not posted at all :-)

Drove the Civic yesterday 634 miles (Detroit to Albany) and had to fill in ONLY ONCE en route.

Total cost of gas for the 9 hour drive = $54 - I love my car :-)

Hi

I have a Honda Prelude 2.2 VTECH, it is seriusly quick. and always thirsty, the AMericans are 'Crazy' about the Honda Prelude or Honda NSX, or in American/Canadian termss Acura NSX!

Have you ever seen a 1996 model of Honda Prelude 2.2VTECH!!! sucha beauty and VTECH engines are seriously addictives :)

[app_engine]

My son was thrilled to take pictures of the 99999th mile and 100000th mile of our Honda Civic while I was driving on I-75 between Sarasota,FL and Tampa,FL during the recent 10day long trip :-)

What a nice, reliable car!

Comparison with any vehicle on Indian roads (i.e. 2003 or before) is unfair but I need to just mention one fact as I recall the great record of this car. The first set of tyres - factory fit ones - never had a single flat incident! And I changed them at 68K miles at the insistence of a relative who was unhappy about the couple of small bulge-like apperances. Otherwise, it was still going fine. That is 100K plus kilometers without any issues.

OTOH, the indica tyres were almost shredded around just 25000 kilometers with trouble on almost every long trip :-(

Not just that, the wheel rims get bent inwards around just 250 kms maybe! :(

Not all, X5 is good, but their M3 is pathetic, if you want serious performance car at reasonable price, well not for every one , go for these

Nissan 350 GTR (3.5 litre twin turbo engine) $88,000

Or the more power full Honda NSX Type -R (3 litre VTECH engine)

$150,000

Yes and no! :)

Italian jobla vara car Austin Mini thAn, BUT it was the ORIGINAL old-shape mini (introduced in 1959), like this:

Mr. Bean also drives a similar car, but yellow in colour.

Whereas the one Raikonnen posted is the NEW-SHAPE mini (made after year 2000)

World of difference between the two, even though the base model was the same! :)

IMHO, the original/old one is the better of the 2. Intha puthu mini-ya pArtha looks like a mini fed on steroids and heated to melting point!

I have driven Porshe Boxster (Not boxtser). I have driven my friends Boxster Spyder...

IMHO M3 Rocks to the core. Opinions differ.

It was the old NSX model along with Prelude, integra Type-r which were discontinued, the new NSX type-r or GT is being built in Tokyo. :)

I watched program called 'Top gear' on that it was announced!

I think you are taking about the Accord type-R , in UK, they are not manufacturing it any more (AFAIK) only the Civic Type -R is under production in their Plant based in Swindon, England.! My Picture above is the New version of NSX (2011).

I have a 2.2 VTECH prelude, it is awesome to drive! Highly addictive engine, when the VTECH kicks in around 6RPM, you just wind your windows down and listen to the Monsterous sound from the engine :notworthy: It reaches 60MPH within 6 secs, and the body is as beautiful as a Ferrari!

BTW are you based in USA/Canada ? Cos the term Acura is Used only in North America !
