  Currently driving a Civic 2L Si (M), thinking of switching to the Type-R sedan. Only issue is which parallel importer. Heard a lot of horror stories about parallel imports being sub-standard. Things like door panels/windows not fixed properly, roach infestation, funny sounds from the engine & other QC issues. Just wanna ask if anyone here drives one, any issues & whether you are satisfied with what you paid for?

  Like any other petrol head, I love my ride.., just need it to go a tad quicker, handle better but NOT at the expense of quality. If you do have one, please share your knowledge and/or the parallel dealership you patronised. Any added advice is welcomed. Thanks guys/gals...
