Yep, its an ugly bugger with 5 doors but is this a decent warm hot hatch?

Is it really the poor man's CTR as I seem to remember 4car gave it a good review.

Out of curiosity can you tune the engine?

Type S is an EP2 with the K20A3 engine

It lacks the aggressive exhaust cam of the Type R, which leaves it 40bhp down on peak power and a much lower rev limiter.

It's expensive tuning any NA cars, I would go direct for the Type R if you want to mod as there is plenty of stuff available for the K20A2
