You get the same 410 litres as the standard Civic, but weirdly that’s 10 litres less than the previous generation. Even behind those big bucket seats, space is as good as in the standard car. In the back, you do lose the central passenger seat so the two outer seats offer a bit more fold than the normal Civic, but it is only a four-seater. The teardrop aluminium gear knob is carried over from the last car, while you also get a ‘+R’ button to put the car in full attack mode. You’ll also find the regular Civic’s automatic transmission buttons have been replaced by a sweet-shifting six-speed manual. However, with fake suede now on the steering wheel, you’ll also find two of the best bucket seats you’ll ever sit in, trimmed in red faux suede and lots of red trim elsewhere. Inside, you’ll see most of the styling from the base car, like the cool air vent design, 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment and separate climate controls. The only thing that looks a bit aftermarket is the rear wing, but it’s there to get you as much downforce as possible. Instead of all the aero bits being tacked on, the panels are smooth yet muscular to give off the sporty look you’d want – with it being wider and lower than the standard Civic. On the outside, this Civic Type R is much more reserved than the frankly wacky previous generation. Based on the latest Honda Civic, which we love enough to have given it a 2023 carwow Buy It Award, the new Type R offers a more mature package than the last – much like your rowdy mate from teenage years who’s gone on to be successful lawyer, but who still has their playful side. The Honda Civic Type R is a hot hatchback that builds on the iconic status of five previous versions – with four of those having come to the UK.
