IMO the Civic Type R looks like a mini-MPV on steroids... not pretty at all, but its the way cars are going now

But the GTi in the UK is just a specification level isn't it??? Before teh Mk4 GTi was replaced by the V5 the NZ-spec had a 1.8 Turbo motor, ie. The real deal. But despite the 1.8T being a good drive the base models are lacking compared to thier Mk 2 counterparts (as said)
Although the Civic Type R (Which sadly we do not get here) is supposed to be a good driver despite it's butt-ugliness am I right? I know the performance is top-notch, but I think the fact that it is so tall, might just hamper the experience..........
What about the new Focus ST range? what are they like?
