Exterior styling is wild personified and stretches through every panel of the car, the front carries large black grills and vents with small squinting headlights. The black and red splashes are included on the front and rear diffuser as well as the alloy wheels and side skirts. Large red Brembo brakes hint at the type of performance the Type R is capable of and the offensive rear spoiler is carried over from the previous generation, although the trio of centre exhaust pipes doesn\u2019t look as good as the quad pipes the prior Civic Type R had.<\/p>\n<p><b>Under the bonnet? <\/b>Honda have stepped away from the high revving natural aspirated Type R\u2019s of the past and gone for a turbocharged 2.0-litre VTEC petrol engine. This engine produces 320bhp, which has 10bhp more than the previous model and through its front wheels can get from 0-100 in 5.7 seconds whilst reaching a top speed of 169mph. The engine is teamed with a six-speed manual gearbox that is reassuringly short and notchy which adds to the sporty drama.<\/p>\n<p><b>What about inside? <\/b>Two bright red bucket seats welcome you as you open the front doors with the rear seats being an almost boring black bench seat, the seats are comfortable and keep you safely entrapped when cornering at speed. A comfortable seating position is easily achieved and the dash wraps around the driver which gives a nice ergonomic feel, the dash centre console is clean and well structured but the infotainment system is slow at times and can be hard to use as the buttons are touch sensitive, this makes it difficult to use on the move.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018magic rear seats\u2019 of the previous Civic have gone and there are also only two seats in the rear which makes the Civic a four seater only, however there is plenty of room for passengers and a decent size boot at 420 litres.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18724\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Honda-Civic-Type-R-_interior.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18724\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18724\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Honda-Civic-Type-R-_interior.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Honda-Civic-Type-R-_interior.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Honda-Civic-Type-R-_interior-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Honda-Civic-Type-R-_interior-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Honda-Civic-Type-R-_interior-321x214.jpg 321w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Honda-Civic-Type-R-_interior-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18724\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Honda Civic Type R 2017<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>On the road? <\/b>If stats are important then the Honda Civic Type R managed the fastest time for a front wheel drive car around the Nurburgring and getting behind the wheel you can really feel its track pedigree. The new Civic is a lot stiffer than the previous model and is built on a completely new chassis and combined with multi link rear suspension and limited slip differential give the Civic incredible handling. The 20\u201d alloys do not help the Civic\u2019s ride on uneven road surfaces but the addition of the comfort mode means that the car is more bearable in every day driving.<\/p>\n<p><b>What about safety? <\/b>As standard the Honda Civic Type R comes with City-brake active system, hill start assist, vehicle stability assistant and agile handling assist. Honda have packaged some safety systems together into the SENSING group which includes collision mitigation and pedestrian protection, lane departure warning and road departure mitigation, traffic sign recognition and adaptive cruise control.<\/p>\n<p><b>What are my options? <\/b>There aren\u2019t many options as the Civic comes in two trim levels with the Type R and Type R GT, the GT has the added benefit of premium audio, Garmin navigation, front and rear parking sensors, LED front foglight and wireless charging for certain mobile phones and is priced at \u20ac53,950.<\/p>\n<p><b>Will it break the bank? <\/b>If economy is at the forefront when buying a car then the Type R is not for you, it is the most expensive Civic in the range to run but is equal to its competitors. Honda claim that the Type R is capable of returning 7.7 litres per 100 km on a combined cycle but I didn\u2019t manage to get near the claimed economy. The CO2 rating of 176g\/km means motor tax is \u20ac750 per year and at \u20ac51,750 this Civic is not a cheap option.<\/p>\n<p><b>So the verdict? <\/b>It is easy to see why the Honda Civic Type R has won so many awards, Honda have managed to make the car faster and stiffer whilst also making it a better car to live with everyday. The addition of the comfort button allows the car to settle and the throttle response to be less brutal. The Civic is such a fun driving car although the noise expelled is suspiciously quiet for a hot hatch especially as the styling is so in your face but lacks the exhaust growl to go with it.\u00a0The infotainment system is a slight let down as it is slow and difficult to navigate and the lack of a fifth seat seems a big oversight but its hard not to be impressed with the Type R it is such a complete package.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why you\u2019ll buy one?\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Such fun drive, easy to live with<br \/>\n<strong>Why you won\u2019t?\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Styling, Infotainment system<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rivals<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/first-drive-renault-megane-rs\/\">Renault Megane RS<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/volkswagen-golf-r\/\">VW Golf R<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/bmws-mighty-m2-versus-audis-awesome-rs-3\/\">Audi RS3<\/a><br \/>\nBMW M2<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/ford-focus-rs\/\">Ford Focus RS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honda Civic Type R<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Engine:<\/strong> 1995cc<br \/>\n<strong>Max speed:<\/strong> 272 kph<br \/>\n<strong>0-100:<\/strong> 5.7 seconds<br \/>\n<strong>Emissions (motor tax) :<\/strong> 176 CO2 g\/km (\u20ac750)<br \/>\n<strong>Model price range:<\/strong> \u20ac51,750 &#8211;\u00a0\u20ac53,950<br \/>\n<strong>No of Doors:<\/strong> 5<br \/>\n<strong>Euro NCAP<\/strong> : 4<br \/>\n<strong>Fuel type:<\/strong> Petrol<br \/>\n<strong>Fuel Economy (combined cycle):<\/strong> 7.7 litres per 100 (36.7 mpg)<br \/>\n<strong>Boot Capacity Seats up:<\/strong> 420 litres<br \/>\n<strong>Length:<\/strong> 4557 mm<br \/>\n<strong>Width:<\/strong> 1877 mm<br \/>\n<strong>Height:<\/strong> 1434 mm<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>For more information on the new Civic Type R check out\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.honda.ie\/\">Honda.ie<\/a>, the Honda Ireland\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hondacarsireland?fref=ts\">Facebook\u00a0<\/a>page or\u00a0follow them on twitter\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HondaIreland\">here<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hannah Gordon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>9th April, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0The Type R has been given a facelift and Hannah Gordon has been finding\u00a0 out just what has been nipped and what has been tucked What is it?
