Agree with you on two counts, not sure they are better to drive though.
Maybe if your just on the road and want abit of quick speed out of a corner or something, but N/A is usually a much more involved drive IMO.
Like you say, can't be a hot hatch without forced induction.
Even the super/hyper cara are on the forced induction to remain competitive.
Power crazy world we live in!

More efficient yea if your turbo is always off but also honda without VTEC turned on is efficient
More powerful that one you got right
Better to drive you got a be kidding, no way
Why i hate it its because with N/A i can pedal to the medal in corner and in turbo i just brake before corner than blast off on exit
who care for power "What is a car without handling"

Sorry, I should've clarified, better to drive at lower RPM i.e. don't need to rag the arse out of it to go anywhere haha.
Adding a turbo makes a car more efficient, it's basic thermodynamics. The efficiency is equal to the useful work out over the total work in, by adding more air via a turbo you're getting more work out. Also with the turbo choices on most modern cars, they're at full spool (and therefore full torque output) so early on in the rev range that they're very rarely off boost.
As said above, I should've clarified that I meant better to drive at low RPM.
Nice for you and your casual city drive but i use honda for rally and hill climbs with lot of corners and i dont care if i will scare the bears in woods
TypeR was before racing car for the street now no difference between all those megans,golfs,seats etc...
Not for the gtr. ..
does anyone know what the chassis prefix is on the new type-r??? e.g ek9,ep3,fn2 and so on..
Im sorry to admit this but I think if they where the same money id buy the ford.. I think its gonna be a better car all round IMO. But that's only what I think right now, I still would need to re-search both.. this thread is the first and only time iv seen the new civic.I like the look of it and it will be a weapon 295ft/lbs at 2500!! but if it's around the same price as the new RS ford what would you buy?
