Not a good review. Someone going to post a feedback to the article?

What makes me laugh is the Honda Civic type R specs. 0-100 in 6.6? You got to be kidding. That means my SRiT will do it in 6.5 and the VXR in 5.5 :rolleyes:

yep read this on sunday in the paper...

thought the guy was a tosser... then i though meh everyone is entitled to an opinion...

i like my car.. that's all there is to it... and replying will only make me angry...

Looks-wise the HSV isn't as impressive as its engine.

Is he serious?

Who cares what the Media says.... At the end of the day if your going to buy one you will still buy it/
Its only an Opinon.

i think you miss read the quote. he said the vxt does 0-100 in 6.4 seconds one second faster than the T which is 7.4

After spending quite a bit of time staring at a VXR on the weekend, i reckon its a very sexy car, like said above, its your own personal opinion!!!

The reporter didn't like it, but take one out yourself and see if you like it or not!!!

Personally i reckon theyre a nice car!!!

My thoughts exactly... Go and drive one and make up your own mine. I did and i bought one.

They are a nice car. But a bitch to keep clean when it keeps pissing down with rain...

[xplosv57]

Plus it has a nice 'dose' sound when changing gears, if a car can do that then i'm sold lol!!!!

Wish they were avail in white... easy to keep clean!!!

Well i dont own one...but its not becoz i dont like them...

I have test driven a VXR...and they are a very hawt car..and on the outside...they are the sexiest car around.

Yeah...i own a MPS...but it was personal choice and BFYB...i got a better deal..

Dont listen to the media...buy what you want and like...the MPS gets bagged constantly by the media in reports...doesnt make it a bad car when it sold 1200 units in 1 year Australia wide and was the best selling hot hatch. <even beat the Golf GTI...but that was due to an ageing model and lack of supply>

I don't see how a type-r, 148kW, 193Nm with 1350kg can accelerate faster than a 1400kg 262Nm SRi-T......?!

Bottom line, they should accelerate at a similar pace...not 1.0s difference

Guys, this thread is about bagging the writer of that article....not about coming to logical conclusions. :)

[aussie_in_london]

my conclusion is Mr Corby drives a volvo v50, leave him in peace and let him got on his way : )

[bigmick]

if it's in a NEWS LTD article....it just has to be true....

[Wraith]

meh, car reviews - you get good ones, you get bad ones....

Geebs posted one up not long ago that was the total opposite, ie: really praised the VXR, so each to their own.

[Geebs]

Exactly. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.

Pity we don't get paid to express ours though :p

Each to their own I say.....
