Honda Civic Type-R (01-05) - Review

Review by Parkers on
The Civic Type-R is one of the best hot hatches around, with an awesome engine and gearbox combination that gets better the harder and faster you drive it. It also offers a genuinely roomy body shape. This Honda offers something rare: a very reliable and exciting ownership prospect. The price has been kept at a very competitive level too making it all the more tempting.

Equipment

Air-con is an option but that aside you won’t feel hard done by as the money has clearly gone on the sporting hardware making it look and feel the part.
