S-Type? That seems like a none Si here as our Si seems like your guy's Type-R. Didn't know that there was an S-Type till now.
Those civics that you guys got are pretty whicked looking. Not as boring looking as our Si.
Does Diesel vs. Petrol effect which insurance bracket the car falls under?

The Type R isn't available in the US afaik. The only equivalent is the Si model which is 160bhp iirc.

The S-type is basically looks the same as a Type R cometically although it sports a 1.8l Vtec engine rather than the 2l power house of the Type R.

Then again, the UK-spec Type R is ok looking, I'd rather have the JDM-only Civic Type R which replaces the DC5 Integra.

Funny how the Civic Type R Hatchback is made in Swindon in UK and then gets exported back to Japan. It's even funnier how they paint it Championship White here and then don't offer it in the dealers. [thumbdown]

Edit**

Wazzay you could maybe opt for the EP3 hatch instead. Even though the insurance group is still 17 just like the new FN2 ones, you can pick one up for quite cheap. You could find yourself a decent one with about 20-40k miles on it for less than £9k.
