Excellent all-round car. I have had one now for nearly 12 months and it attracts lots of admiring attention from onlookers. Only complaints are that the driver's seat has no memory so when it is moved you have to set to your position again, and the rear view is poor due to spoiler (but this is worth the sacrifice). Other than that I am sure I will keep this car for a few years as it gives me a thrill each time I drive it. Some other hot hatches are faster but not as exciting as the Type R - you feel more connected. What a car.
