What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
"The remaining 35 of the 60 units coming into the country may appear expensive at the asking price. Still, after driving the product and experiencing its breadth of abilities and accepting that this is one of the very last of its breed, the price appears fair. If you're after the ultimate front-wheel drive performance hatchback experience, the latest Type R is undoubtedly the car for you."

Exterior
Interior
What is the 2023 Honda Civic Type R like inside?
The 2023 Honda Civic Type R compared to its predecessor has more toned-down looks inside with a more cohesive yet clean design with everything in easy reach. However, because we're dealing with the Type R variant, red seats and carpeting are well-pronounced in the cabin as this is a signature theme with the Type R performance line.
Style
The toned-down looks extends out to the exterior too but still maintains some aggression as well as a muscular look. You'll find the appropriate ducting in the front of the Civic and even on the bonnet too. 19-inch wheels race the side silhouette of the Type R and in the rear, a cheeky spoiler as well as diffuser housing the 3 exhaust tips rounds off what is a toned down but still sporty and attractive exterior.
