AutoExec Summary
The 2021 Honda Civic Type R excites with its dramatic styling and exceptional performance, potentially making it the best of its lineage and a future classic. Despite its ageing platform and loud tyre noise, its engineering tweaks enhance driving pleasure. With impressive balance, grip, and a potent turbocharged engine, it remains a top choice among hot hatches. The infotainment system feels dated, but the cabin is comfortable. Its reliability and daily usability add to its appeal, even as we transition to more electrified vehicles. If you’ve always wanted one, now is the time to buy.
