The Honda Civic Type R asks if being a hot hatch for grownups is enough to win our Motor Authority Best Car To Buy 2023 award.
Under the hood sits a familiar 2.0-liter turbo-4 that is nowand 310 lb-ft of torque. That makes the new Type R the most powerful Honda vehicle ever sold in the U.S. The power increase over the outgoing model’s 306 hp and 295 lb-ft comes thanks to a redesigned turbocharger, an increased air intake flow rate, and a more efficient exhaust system. The turbocharger is optimized for shape, size, and number of turbine blades to generate pressure in a wider range.
The Type R is still a front-wheel-drive-only affair with a limited-slip differential that keeps torque steer mostly at bay. Drivers mustas a slick-shifting 6-speed manual with a newly optimized shift pattern and a lighter flywheel is the only transmission option. The steering also gets heavier in +R mode. One editor preferred it, saying it offers more stability in turns, while another felt it's too heavy with artificial heft for the sake of heft. All of the dynamic settings can be modified and saved with the Individual mode, whose settings are thankfully retained upon startup.
