Race car with a warranty!

Mine’s stock and i still smile from ear to ear two years in. If you’re thinking about it just do it. Crazy handling and versatility. Fit a 65” tv and 3.5’ fire pit in back

Most reliable and smoothest car I’ve owned

This car has it all, sport, fun, power, reliability and overall value. Far from a standard Civic, which I was first very skeptical about. Incredible gas mileage and more power than you’ll ever need.

Best Car In The Price Range Meaning Sticker Price

My is the 2020 model not the 2018, but same everything with some added stuffs. This car perform very well, powerful engine, nice and quiet, lots room, four person comfortablely, manual, in comfort mode I handle rough road and bump pretty good. Infotainment system lags a little, but if I was going to buy another car at the same sticker price I will pick this one again.

Best Car I Have Driven

Amazing bang for your buck performance, the car hangs with BMW M2's and Caymans on the track which can sell for about twice the price of the Type R.

Most fun car I’ve deiven

Met all my needs, super fun to drive, had to add winter rims and tires in WI. Corners like it’s on rails and keeps up in a 1-1 with most V8 sports cars easily

Most fun car on the market

Such a fast and gun car to drive. Feels like a regular car and comes alive when you want it to. Great storage room. Plenty of passenger room

2018 Honda Civic Type R

The Type R with it's 306 HP turbo engine has been a great car to drive. More fun than my Honda S2000, Nissan 300 twin turbo and as much fun as my C7 Z51 Corvette. One of the best 6 speed manuals available. Handling is very tight and fun in the curves. Very good in longer trips and gas mileage was over 30 mpg.

Most reliable car i’ve owned.

This is an amazing car. Plenty of room with the hatch to fit basically anything. Has Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Sirius XM, and fm/am radio. Built in Subwoofer. Also amazing handling even in the snow.
