Best Jap Car?

[daktari]

And all of the above confirm the fact, There is no best car per se. If there were we`d all be driving the same cars. But we all have our own idea of the 'best' car. And that is what makes motoring fun.....

Gotta be the Honda Civic Type R. Ok ok so its a bit fugly and mpv ish but its got all the best hot hatch qualities and at the same time is only £14k now brand new (most dealers let em go for this now).

over 200bhp, pratical and reliable and all for less than ANY of the other cars in its class.

Honda Civic Type R 200PS £16K

Astra Turbo VXR 240PS £19K

Ford Focus st220 22PS £20K

Renault Megane Sport 225PS £20K

Golf GTI 200PS £20K

All have very very similar 0-60 times (approx 6.5secs) but the Honda is the only non-aspirated car of the lot. Its the most reliable and cheapest to buy.

I think its an amazing car and i have thought about getting one in the past - only thing that puts me off the is rising boy-racer image and it being FWD.

←

best bit regarding the 0-60 times is you can still go out and buy 5k worth of 12 year old toyota and still pan them by at least a second to 60 ;)

and the right wheels are driving :D

Only £14k, Only £14k, Only £14K!

Only...

...Fourteen thousand pound is a hell of a lot of money regardless of what you are buying!

I wouldn't say 'only' with regards to that amount of money!
