I know alot of you might slate me, but i am thinking of exchanging my cup for a Civic Type R. Honda are willing to settle my finance with renault and offer me a second hand siver typre r with aircon for around £14000 with 15000miles on the clock.
The only reason why i am doing this is because i have taken my cup into the local dealer 16 times in one year for all sorts of problems. I am fed up with there attitude, anything that goes wrong with the car always leads to me having to pay for it. i Have spent over £1000 changing parts since i hit my car a year ago. Once all the parts were changed Renault said i am being paranoid and nothing wrong with the car.
I test drove the new type r, it felt lovely to drive, dont get me wrong, i love my cup but i have lost so much time on the road due to the car always being at the dealer, it always tramlines and pulls all over the place, the suspension makes a knocking noise, renault never want to help.
The payments on the type r will roughly be the same every month, i dont want to get rid of the cup but i have no choice, im simply not happy with the car. I know the cup has torque steer and depending on the road surfaces the cars does tend to tramline, but mine does it 24/7 on any surfaces.
Do you lot think i am getting a good deal on the type r, or should i just stick with the cup and be miserable.I know that when a cup is 100% its a lovely car to drive, but its simply not the case. I have posted a few comments in the past for my car tramlining etc, most cup owners dont have these problems.
Please please any advice would greatly be appreciated am i doing the right thing, is £14000 alot of money for a second hand type r.
Cheers.
