Arrow Road test: Honda Civic Type R


Road test: Honda Civic Type R

Motoring Editor Steve Nelson reckons the new Honda Civic Type-R is a welcome evolution of the old model. The battle of the hot hatches, an intriguing, poke-you-in-the-eye sort of contest, got a little hotter in the spring.

In a sector where horsepower and torque figures are pored over and debated with a neo-religious fervour, the new Honda Civic Type R entered the arena.

They had been waiting for this one. It was almost as if the deck of cards that includes the VW Golf Gti, Ford Focus ST, Seat Leon Cupra, Volvo C30 and Vauxhall Astra had been incomplete without the famous red H badge.

Honda had virtually torn up the rulebook when it designed the new Civic, so the Type R version was going to be a bit special, right?

After all, the previous Type R became something of an icon, selling 35,000 units, when its modest initial target was only 1,500 sales.
