TBH press news and reviews about the CTR have not said that much great things about it when comparing to other hatches it did not always come first and things have been said about handling not up to standard of focus RS.. atleast honda make the CTR in more then1 colour wait till the new upgraded 2004 CTR

Cossie you can drive all day at 30mph and enjoy it as brillaint car , its got looks, sounds fantastic (even at 30mph) , great interior etc

CTR - doesnt sound good below 5 or 6k revs, looks like a mini bus, but seats are pretty nice n comfy but dash is gay

But that 0-60 timing gear was totally fcuking useless

Daimo got 0-60 in 6.13 PMSL

That to be fair was with a shit start as well.

I reckon it was about 1 and half seconds out.

This is all your opinion though, and for me is the complete reverse

End of day... its still an Escort

Was it out

I thought the XR2 doing it in 7 flat was a bit dodgy

Yes, but to be honest it looks nothing like a Escort.

Rach said yesterday when all the Escort Cossies were pulling into there club stand "I like the look of them Hondas"

Yes, a standard Punto GT1 got a 0-60 in 7.6 seconds. That was with an equally terrible start as Daimo's

But the best one was the Zetec-S on 17's that got a 0-60 in 10.6, they are truely shit

The current EP3 Civic Type R isn't as 'Type R' as the previous Integra or Civic or even Accord R models. It doesn't even have an lsd ffs. Perhaps VTi would have been a better badge for the EP3.
