2025 Honda Civic Type R Review

Is the 2025 Honda Civic Type R a Good Car?
"We find the Type R's acceleration to be a bit underwhelming given its price tag, and we'd like to see Honda add AWD to this package to make it more competitive. But we get that there's an undeniable aura to this car. There's also the resale value category, where you can expect the Honda to be a champ for years to come. We have a slight preference for its Integra Type S twin because the Type R's boy-racer rear wing seems gauche at this price point, but your mileage may vary."—Ranked #4 out of 5 Super Sport Compact Cars
