My Honda type R GT 2010 is beyond repair with insurance just going to pay me the money they feel it’s worth. I have hardly seen any Type R 2010 plates near me. Prices are £5,500 for 08 and 07 plates around 60-80k miles although I did see a 10 plate for 6k with 84k miles on the clock the older ones seemed better value.
I had fun driving my type r, I had to buy a new ecu that was £770 and the clutch pedal would make annoying noise at times with the Honda saying it needed lubricant and would cost me £300 sod that
I have always liked VW scirocco and I like the heated seats, built in screeen for sat nav etc, the dual controls for air con etc and they look nice and around the same power only negative would be lack of boot space when shopping and back window is small making it hard to see at the back. I don’t know much about cars but as I say my Honda served me well until a bmw smashed into it with nobody inside my car while it was parked and the engines are known for being bulletproof and I liked ability to drive at high revs but thought would ask you guys should I go for type r which are around 2k cheaper and use the money I save to pay off my card or buy a scirocco? I normally keep the cars until run into the ground in the past as they have never held value until I had the type r which in 5 years I lost £2400 in value which isn’t bad
