no major problems with Type R's, most people who own them drive them pretty hard, but also take excellent care of them, a properly maintained R will last as long if not longer than a Civic, even when driven hard, they are built to be driven hard :lol:

At 6'4" you may should be fine, but I'm only 5'11" so I can't say for sure, it has a lot of driver room.....

Oh....they attract a lot of attnetion, since getting mine I have had a parade of high school kids driving by my house looking in my garage, and stoping and asking to see it. That being said, they tend to get stolen pretty quick if you live in high crime, urban ares, keep it in a garage at night no matter where you live, the B18C5 is a sought after engine.....
