    I've had my fk2 from new over 7 years and still love driving it , 405bhp with remap and eventuri air intake,upgraded tyres and brakes it's a beast on the track and it fits my family in for trips out with great MPG ❤ great review

      1 of the best cars available. Plenty of power and the handling on these FK2 is amazing.
      What colour is yours?
      Thanks for the kind words 👍

      Handling is insane truly , I went with black GT pack batmobile I once drove it to a party wearing a batman costume and my passenger was flash 😂 , 5.4 secs my fastest 0-60 , 178mph in a family hatchback 😂

      @stephenpartridge6021 the black do look like a batmobile 😎 405 for a.FWD is enough and they sure can hit some serious speeds 🔥

    I would love to own one of these, it looks awesome, just a plain mk9 is a nice looking car, I own one, I drove a 1.8 v-tech mk9 recently and I could barely hear the engine was lovely to drive though. I would love to own a type R though, had civics since the 90s Honda all the way.

    The wing vents can be opened up for additional cooling, the arch vents do allow a tiny amount of air through.
    Had any gearbox / engine probs with this car ? Want to get one but heard about a few with issues

    • @PerformanceLifestyles
      @PerformanceLifestyles  3 года назад +1

      Without having to cut the vents I don't think there is a way to open them.
      I know the FK8 had gearbox issues but I've never had any issues with either tge block or box on a FK2.
      I honestly highly recommend them 😎

    @arifazar786 3 года назад +3

    I think Honda like Renault (hyperstrut and previously Ford with revonuckle) use clever front suspension to eliminate/reduce talk steer referred to as dual-axis in addition to LSD.. what will make the FK2 a future classic is its short production run, if you think about it Honda brought back the Type R badge at the end of that generation run, so it was really a experiment to see what worked or not, i.e. built from the top down.. with the introduction of turbo.. FK8 was built from the bottom-up.. The FK2 is much rawer.. and I think will be a rarer car and also was assembled at Swindon.. I'd buy this alone for that reason.. UK built car....

    • @PerformanceLifestyles
      @PerformanceLifestyles  3 года назад +2

      The FK2 is definitely a future classic but this is something that only people who have driven one will understand.
      I agree with what you say, the FK2 is a more raw car hence it is abetter driving experience. I'd love to buy a low mileage one to put aside.

      To be fair, for the whole package it's not actually bad. The driver feedback, impressive performance, economy etc is great for the price. They have dropped as with most cars in recent times.
