Honda Accord Type-R

 

Newest Review: ... not too heavy and the engine not really pushing to do too much. This is the joy of VTech Honda's whiz bang engine ... more

 ... technology at low revs it uses less cam and fuel therefore making it very well behaved rev the car and all hell breaks loose. So, onto the open road push hard on the accelerator and the revs build really quickly towards 6000 rpm this is when most people start to change gear but oh no look closely at the rev counter and you will find the red line nuzzled up near 8000 revs. So hold it in gear and waaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaa he he he at 5500 revs the second stage of VTECH kicks in all cams lift the induction note changes and this ...more

Ah the type R. I was lucky enough to be given this car as a company car a year ago, when I took over the car it had 50,000 miles on the clock and was just 14months old. Exterior From the outside the car is visually impressive front rear and side skirts, 18" wheels and low profile tyres, oh yeah and a huge spoiler on the back more about that later. Plus discreet type r badging and the red Honda badge, which only comes on, type R's. The real give away are the two shiny exhaust pipes sticking out the back, which does confuse people ?is this a v6 v8?? no it's just a very powerful 4 cylinder. The headlights too hint at something more with the main ...  Read the complete review

It is now over a year since I last revised this review. Please see end for updates. Because of business and family demands, we run two cars. As at mid-2000, these were a Renault Espace and a Mercedes 190. In late 2000 we were looking for a further new car, something 'sporty' for Heather now that the off -spring are (mostly) away. We had test drives of the Honda Integra R, the Honda Civic VTIS, a Mazda MX5 1.8i, an Alfa Romeo 156 (2 litre Veloce and 2.5 litre V6), a Mercedes 420 SEC (second hand), the (old model) Imprezza Turbo, the Mercedes 230 SLK and our final choice, the Honda Accord Type R. Heather had previously rejected the Accord ...  Read the complete review

After some careful thinking and consultation of the house teenager (that’s me!) my parents decided to trade their Honda Civic in for the Honda Accord Type R. My parents hadn't a clue about the car before I told them about it. At a relatively cheap price of £22000 brand new, this car was well worth the money. From its very sporty and stylish looks on the outside to what hides beneath the bonnet of this masterpiece. We chose vesuvius red as the colour for this car. I felt it made the sports bodykit stand out in the crowd. Under the arches, a rather large set of 17-inch alloys in the design of split five spokes. On the behind of this Type R ...  Read the complete review

In my persuit of the car for me I have driven the Seat Leon Cupra, (reviewed on DooYoo) the Leon Cupra R and two of the Accord Type R's. As you may note there is a great time difference between the reviews due to a short spell of unemployment (obviously stopping me from being in the market for a new car). I will try to compare between the two Honda's and then sum up between the two makes at the end. The first Accord I took out was a 2000 model in black. First impresions about the car were good, after reading reviews in magazines and listening to a work collegue talking about his Integra R I couldnt wait to get in the cockpit of this baby and put her ...  Read the complete review
