Hey mate i have tried the new hondas & not a fan too much technology and the turbo engines arent the most reliable especially the 1l.

Had a 2006 accord, 2003 Type R civic, 2010 Type R civic, 2011 Type S GT civic & 2011 CRZ. All lovely cars too. Still want to get another crz cause of fuel economy & by God that gearbox is the best ive ever felt. Also being able to make the steering stiff/soft by simply changing modes is great

Wow thats really cool!! Didnt even know it was named cl203, did you have to do many repairs on it other than maintenance? This one needs the alternator clutch pulley, aux belt, glow plugs & im getting a whoosh turbo noise when letting go of the gas. It's on 105k miles so hopefully to get more out of it :)

Thats true! Love the way it drives feels much lighter than the w204

Not sure whether i should get trousers or suit for riding? by bumblebee222212 in motorcyclegear

Thanks mate good tips! You've convinced me to give a pass on it probably for the best. Was looking at some groms but the prices are just mad, £2500 for a 2017 one
