Nothing new, Euro-R....

This is true for every Honda ever made. Even if you get a base Civic, you can feel the right foundation to being a driver's car. I've owned a 2004 Honda Accord Type S (modifed to a TypeR-ish performance) for 13 years only because I couldn't find anything better in that class. Being a relatively big sedan, it drove like magic, even compared to newer manual BMWs or other cars "known" to drive good. The new TypeR is way ahead of everything in it's class and even significantly higher classes, and I wouldn't put VW Golf nowhere near that, it was always at the bottom of drivers cars hot hatches. Hot hatch is not about just putting a bigger motor into a chasis, anyone can do that. Putting together a great hot hatch is maybe even more challanging than doing that for a $100k+ sports car.

Honda graphics and indicators have never been cutting edge, but they work... reliably. Over and over. And I'm glad to see people can witness that tires do not need to be 20" or larger just for the sake of being larger. Not only are they quite a bit more expensive - especially when you carve the roads regularly, wheels general just need to be big enough to accommodate the brake assembly.

I like the length of the car and I like how wide it is and I like the ride height as well. I also want to say that I love the fast back styling even though it has 4 doors. I did not like the previous generation of Type R at all. The previous generation, to me, just seems like a car that was trying to stand out and be flashy and appeal to all of those Honda modding enthusiasts. The previous generation also felt like it was trying way too hard to compete with the Subaru STI and copied a lot of styling off of that. On the 2023 car I really like the simplistic styling while still having a race car aesthetic to it also just like the styling of the spoiler on the hatch and I was surprised to find out that it is a hatch as well. I legitimately think this is the first Honda Civic I have ever genuinely liked other than the 81 Honda Civic, which is the best car ever made. It’s a really cool looking car and it looks modern, but it also looks like it can be an every day driver for anybody and I like that although the spoiler takes away a bit of the sleeper aspect of the car but overall I really like the car.

Easily - it has a hatch

£47k though before options for a FWD car. That’s nearly new A45S, RS3, M2C money! I’ll stick with my GR Yaris thanks that is quicker in real world conditions. I do prefer the look of this though over the previous gen CTR

I think you will find there is 4 Seats in the fk2 and fk8 so u can only carry 2 passengers in the back any way

Om, ini pakai plat Sukabumi ya? Depannya F.

Save 11k and buy the old one as it's the same car. Or about 2k more and get a vastly superior Supra. Crazy pricing!

Exactly! Save your money and just buy an FK8 and some fancy coilovers and a remap and stickier rubber and still be quids in.

The Civic can replace your family car. A Supra cannot.

Thank you for mentioning how stupid and cheap it is for this car to have center seat mounted cup holders rather than a third rear seat. It’s my biggest complaint about this car. Every other 11th Gen Civic has three seats. Christ, my 2007 Civic Si Coupe has three seats in the back!

My main complain besides the one you cited is the lack of spare tires.

Switched off at £47k. 5 years of paying over £500 road tax per year on top, for a Honda Civic. I cannot wait for my bus pass.

Honda should put out a Touring version of the Type R (like the GT3 / GT3 Touring), for a more subtle look wihout that rear wing.

Love the new car...design is light years better than the last...wish it was a three door actual hot hatch but I'm getting SAAB vibes from the design...fantastic

As a father of three, the CTR 4-seater situation is just a no-go for me, at least at this stage in life. Such a bummer!

I own a FN2 type R and it's the same. 4 seats, 4 seatbelts. No idea why they do it, it's not like that space in the middle of the back seat is used for anything. If it was a 4wd and they needed that space in the floor for the driveshaft I'd understand, but as a traditional fwd, why are they doing it?

Well, the GR Corolla says it will sit five. I'm thinking five grocery bags. It's about the size of my '05 WRX hatch.

Idk it looks like it's newest version of FN generation, the FK generation was really cool at sharp lines

Imma get this when i get the chance

Shame about the price. I certainly can't afford nearly 50 grand on a car and if I could im not sure I'd be looking at a hot hatch.

@Lawrence Garikaiy yeah it's a bit ridiculous when you can spec a 'hot hatch' to 70k plus in some cases.
