Honda Civic Type-R (2007-) Review

Category: Hot Hatchbacks 4.5 out of 5

Summary of the Honda Civic Type-R (2007-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Fast, good steering feel, great fun to drive, relatively subtle styling.

Against

Not a lot, just the irritating split rear tailgate glass and poor rearward visibility.

Verdict

Hot hatch masochists and keen track dayers might be disappointed with Honda's decision to make this Type-R a little easier to live with. For the rest of us, however, it's a very welcome development.
