Civic 'Cossie' - Better then the Type-R

When the Honda Civic Type-R came out it was the hottest and sportiest Honda out there. Now the news for the competition got even worst. The engineers from Japan have came up with a new Honda to compete with the Ford Escort Cosworth. As you can see from the picture above, as far as looks go, the Honda Type-R-R or also known as 'Cossie' , has beat the Ford by a lot!

When the new Honda Type-R-R was being created the engineers took the basic Type-R and made some serious modifications to it so that it can not only look more sporty, but actually perform like some of the top sports cars. To achieve that Honda reduced the weight of the car to a minimum. They did that by removing anything from the car that is not absolutely necessary, and there were quite a few things that were removed. The major thing that has been removed from the original Type-R to form the new Type-R-R is the car stereo, and also the sound deadening. To some people these things are very important, but I personally would trade a stereo for some extra torque or a few extra miles added to the top speed. Honda also added new sports seats so that the car is more comfortable for the driver, and so that he can see and maneuver better. The suspension of the car has also been lowered to give the car a even sportier look and better grip of the road.

The most fascinating thing about the new Honda is its engine. The engine of the Type-R-R is supposed to be a secret, but the Honda engineers couldn't keep something so awesome to themselves so they shared the news. The new engine in the car is a 2.0 liter i-VTEC , and for Honda this is something new, because there engines are usually smaller. What is more unusual then this sit that the engine has 250bhp, which is amazing for any car, let alone for a car that has such great weight reduction! In order to get the most of the engines power the new Honda comes standardly equipped with a ECU to help fuel distribution at the different RPMs and to there for help fuel economy.

The new Honda also has a brand new gear system, which allows a 80 millisecond gear change, which means that if this car needs to go fast it can do it very quickly, just by simply flooring the gas and going trough the gears really fast!

The Honda Type-R-R is the best sports Honda so far, because it took all the good things from the originally good Type-R, and replaced all the flaws that it had to make what some will call a masterpiece!

The Best Cars of 2006 - Honda Accord

Despite strong new competition from Toyota and Ford, Honda still sits at the head of the family-sedan table. The Accord is as roomy, comfortable and safe as its main rivals yet still feels more sporty and refined whenever the road throws you a curve.

Four-cylinder, 166-hp models are so smooth, affordable and economical that there's little reason to opt for the 244-hp V-6. The 2006 model gets a mild makeover for the exterior and interior, including new rear-end styling, as well as a new steering wheel, driver's gauges and seat fabrics.

All Accords feature side- and side-curtain air bags, six-cylinder models add standard electronic stability control, and the EX V-6 now offers a six-speed manual transmission.

Review - Honda Fit

The Honda Fit is the all new "car" from Honda. I say "car" because this is not a mid sized car and its not a mini van either, its both. The Honda Fit is called Fit for a reason. Although it might not look like it it is very roomy. This car has more room on the inside then most SUVs have, but it looks more stylish and it is more gas efficient.

What makes the Fit so roomy is what is know as 2nd-row Magic Seat. What this does is it fold the second row of seats and creates so much room that it makes the room of the SUVs look small. This car is now being introduced because people need smaller cars with more room, and with today's soaring gas prices the Honda Fit is the perfect solution. The Honda Fit 5-speed automatic averages 31 miles/gallon in the city and 38 miles/gallon on the highway, and this is the reason why some people buy this car.



Another reason why people buy it is because the Honda Fit Sport. The Sport model is basically the same except it comes with 15 inch alloy rims and some bumpers and side skirts. The regular model costs around $13,000 and the Sport is about $15,000. The price, the space, and the gas efficiency are some strong reasons for people to consider buying this car, but I personally won't buy it because I don't like that type of cars, but hey that's just me.
