Type R dream ruined. By Honda.

[Speed Badger]

Hi all, I had been saving hard for a the new Civic Type R (well, nearly new) and I have just realised that it only has 4 seats. I am astounded by this, seeing as it's now a 5 door, family friendly R and I often need to transport 4 others. I just couldn't believe after months of saving, selling my FD2 Civic and generally reading all I could about it, I somehow failed to notice it only had 4 seats, it has no lap belt, nothing.

Anyone else had a car they've been after for ages ruined by a simple or silly thing? I would save for the new, new Civic but it just looks sooooooooo awful, like a hatchback Subaru crossed with a random Hyundai and then finished with a sprinkle of gopping.

I know it seems obvious and blatant, but I just didn't even think to notice that it didn't, if you see what I mean? I just assumed that it did because every other car in that class does (golf, focus? Mégane etc) and I just didn't twig, even looking at pics. (To the poster re thr FD2 - yes I had one,great car, just wanted something a bit more modern and user friendly.

Anyway, the real motivation for the question, as the poster above answered was about wanting a dream car or a car you wanted for ages that when it came to it (as in myself on the Civic test drive) some stupid/annoying/trivial issue has ruined it for you
