Type-R Spirit

Today is the launch of Civic Type-R and Hybrid. It's history in the making for Honda Malaysia because this is the first time they brought in a Honda sports model all the way from Japan, and it's brand new!! I don't know what others feel, but for me, it's really a pleasure to witness this moment as a Honda fans.

Ok it costs about Rm200k. That's even more expensive for a Subaru Impreza WRX Ver8. Yeah, that's the car they like to compare to because of the pricing. It's a turbo-charged 4 door sedan sports car which built with the rally-technology AWD system. Technically it's a better ride than the Civic Type-R. Yeah... maybe? But one thing you have to realise that the Civic Type-R is the latest model from Honda Japan, which was launched few months back then and being quoted as the fastest FF car in its class. It's NA but can boost to 220ps with the 2.0 i-VTEC engine. It has all the latest racing technology and design from Honda. It has a spirit. To me, it's a better car than a Ver8 (Ver10 is coming out) WRX, even though they share the same power output and pricing.

Again, I must say Honda Malaysia are doing great with all their promotion in this region. With the addition of the Type-R launch, it really shows their ambition and the passion to deliver driving pleasure to the customers here. Kudos to Honda!
