2023 Honda Civic Type R First Drive: A Very Intoxicating Second (Canadian) Edition
Photo: V.Aubé 2023 Honda Civic Type R - Profile In the pantheon of cars that tend to earn thumbs up - and even a few invitations to partake in illegal street racing - the Civic Type R is definitely a VIP member.
Given the success of other super-compacts, Honda had plenty of incentive to develop its own version to compete in a category inhabited, not so long ago, by a fine selection of exciting little sports cars like the Ford Focus RS, Subaru WRX STI, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Volkswagen Golf R.
Up front, the bumper is more aggressive with a bigger opening under the grille, while the obligatory red "Type R" badge is in full view. The fenders are also wider than those of the five-door version on which the car is based, to better accommodate the 19-inch diameter wheels . The other feature - not surprisingly - that will make dynamic driving enthusiasts happy is the superb driving position that can be found quite quickly, even though there are no power adjustments. The steering wheel and shift knob fall perfectly in hand and that's all the customer wants.
