More power, same great handling.
"It has Porsche-tier steering, brake, throttle, and shift feel, which puts the driver in a Zen mentality no matter if they're driving fast or slow," associate editor Billy Rehbock said. But despite consensus that the 2023 Type R is an enthusiast's dream, Priddle questioned whether Honda toned down the new model a smidge too much."The previous generation was so incredibly fantastic, and I'm not sure this one measures up," she said.
Everyone who buys a Type R will do so primarily because of its performance, but its practicality also remains noteworthy."A Civic Type Rit's a Type R," buyer's guide director Zach Gale said."That means a spacious back seat, a relatively capacious cargo area, and a high-quality interior." The 2023 model is wider, longer, and lower than before, and although it gained more weight as a result, it also added more comfort and amenities.
All that good stuff comes at a cost, and as a result its starting price is much higher than the outgoing model. That said, there's only one trim available, and it comes fully loaded."The Civic's cabin is simply so good, it even feels appropriate in the mid-$40,000 range," deputy editor Alexander Stoklosa said.Honda's hot hatch won the judges' emotions, but we must consider it against our Of The Year criteria, not our hearts.
