Which review have you been reading? 
Autocar give it a bit of a slating
http://autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/RoadTestsVerdict/Honda-Civic-2.0-i-VTEC-Type-R/223991/
It weighs more than the old one, it has the same power, the torque curve is smoother, so it looses the "kick" in the power band all together, to account for it they've give it a closer ratio 'box making it scream even more at speed, and to top it off they've seemingly messed the chassis up
New one looks nice, but as a driver's car i think the old one is better  .
