The 2023 Honda Civic Type R Retains Its Crown As The King Of FWD Hot Hatches

[@clustrone]

Love this car. Have had mine for several months and it is a beast of a daily driver. My 3 year old fits easily in the back in his car seat. Pulling up to his daycare is a scene, the kids love the boost blue. In a sea of black and gray SUVs, it is no wonder all the kids love my FL5.

Man this should be $40k tbh. That nearly $7k jump from FK8 to this is quite hefty. Either way, I really want one. But dealer markups make an already overpriced car even more expensive.

I am a big Type R fan! In January I traded my 2019 fk8 that I bought in new in 2019 for my 2023 fL5! I was fortunate enough to get both of them from the same dealership new and both at msrp! Having 4 years with my fk8 and almost a year with FL5 and in my opinion the FL5 is more refined and upgraded in almost every way! I did think my FK8 was great but from my experience with the fL5 I won’t ever go back!! It’s hard people to understand the increased pricing but a lot of people that say it’s too high priced haven’t driven one! It is an upgrade all around! But I do agree the markups are so dumb ! You can get in to some other crazy good cars once you hit 55-60k! But for if a person pays msrp for the FL5 I think it’s a lot of car for the money! Much more than that it’s questionable!! Keep up the amazing reviews! I sure enjoy the content! Keep up the great work! 🚙😀

You can't get any better for a hot hatch than a Honda Civic Type R. Just the fact that it only comes with that perfect 6-speed manual transmission is amazing, and we all know how immaculate Honda manuals are. If I were to choose this or its platform mate, the Acura Integra Type S, the Integra Type S is the one for me, just because of the styling, it sounds much better, and the fact that the Type S is definitely a better daily driver in terms of comfort as Acura definitely tuned the suspension to be less harsh than the Type R. The Type R is literally a track car meant for racing, hence why it has that stiffer suspension. I also think that Championship White is the perfect colour for any Civic Type R. It's the iconic colour for all Type Rs, and it's perfect on this one, can't expect anything less.

[@rayrivera187]

I totally agree that this car should offer these features considering its price. However, I can also understand why Honda chose not to: weight reduction. For example, a sunroof can add 50-70 Lbs to a car’s total weight. Additionally, a sunroof can affect a car’s body rigidity. After all, a sunroof is actually a hole on the roof. Honda could add extra bracing to compensate, but again, this would add more weight… Great review, Sofyan! Thanks!

[@dlg5485]

You can't even find one of these at MSRP. This is a kick ass car, but they markup is going to kick you in the ass in the end with those high payments if you are foolish enough to pay markup on this. If I'm going to pay extra on a car, why not go DE5 Integra Type S? It's $6,000 more, but there are far more Acura dealerships that are not charging markup for the ITS than Honda dealershipe charging markup on the FL5 CTR. By the time you get the final total on both cars, you wīnd up paying the same final total if not less for an Integra Type S than you would for an FL5 and the DE5 is just nicer.

With Renault no longer doing the RS pretty much leaving Honda to build the age old Hot Hatch formula of lightweight FWD manual transmission cars with true race engineering, and tested to be as capable and reliable as they are i guess we should just be glad while we can still get them. I 100% get how some folks feel they need sunroofs and heated seats, big screen entertainment systems and AWD along with automatic transmission and all the bells and whistles but its no longer that old-school Hot Hatch and usually far less involving or fun to drive without that engagement. As for 0 to 100 or 0 to 60 mph etc traffic light championships I'd say that realistically you are shopping for a very different type of car. Anyway i guess either way we are quickly losing any of those similar to the 90,s feeling JDM etc types of cars with that more tactile and connected feeling so try as many as you can and enjoy while they are still around..😊

Toyota/Lexus all day, all night!

Stop with the launch crap...Drag racing is NOT this car's mission.

[@ferrarikangaroo9271]

I wish that this was available in a two-door. I can't stand four door cars. They look so... utilitarian.

[@NJRacer623]

You can barely even call this thing a hatchback. It looks almost more like a sedan from the side profile.

[@jet_black]

Get the Golf R better in every aspect besides if your a track boy.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

Even at track, the Golf R will put smiles on smiles on anyone driving it. Nobody is out there racing stock vehicles for money on track, so I don’t even understand why anyone would buy a CTR because it might be a second faster in track lol.

[@jameswilson8907]

Except the Golf R is extremely boring visually and also a VW which is a big no from me.

[@litespeed65]

The regular Civics need more power

[@jpizel1070]

I would take the GR corolla over this Type R. After owning FWD, AWD, and RWD, I just can't go back to FWD. That wheel hop at take of is brutal 😬

[@SlowFk8]

This car is made for people that loves type R. I owned awd and rwd as well and I understand how u feel. Gotta love it to understand. Just like a girl with flaws. 😂

[@UmarTheGreat10]

@@SlowFk8 This car has won numerous awards and tests beating out awd and rwd rivals. In fact it just won Top Gear's Speed Week 2023 beating out every supercar. Not to mention it was their car of the year. The fact that you say its made for people who love the type R is ridiculous. Shows how clueless you are

[@JacesOwnWorld]

@@SlowFk8so you’re a SIMP?

[@andersonrodriguez8258]

GR also has a unique engine

[@chrism869]

it doesn have much wheel hop despite being it fwd

[@kickstand801]

Still wish that this thing came with a DCT, but cool car though.

[@aceofspades6667]

Integra for me

[@mikelee9173]

Yeah that's way too much red in the interior. Having a nice red trim/accent would be nice but man that's way too much for my taste
