    Not exactly pretty, but it fulfils my 4 seat+fast criteria Attachment 32798
    I was looking at them before getting the Z4. My friend with a 335i turned me off them. He loves his, but the turbo engine can be a maintenance nightmare. That was BMW's first mass market gas turbo engine for a long time, and they had a lot of problems.


    911s have 4 seats.....

    That's the concept.

    Here's the issue for you; the Civic Type R (basically the Si here) is only offered as a hatch. Here we can get it as a sedan or coupe, so you can choose how juvenile you want it to look.

    The Si and Type R aren't even close in terms of performance.

    I am a Honda guy but the Civic died to me after they stopped using double wishbones. MacPherson struts are such a lazy choice for a car.

    After the EP3, the UK Type R and the US Civic Si were basically the same.

    I think that's a custom body kit, Geoff.
    This is the production model

    I agree there's not a lot of difference, just the wheel arches and bottom skirts are obvious.
