Positive Review
The Type R gives you the performance of a $70,000 sports car for almost half the price. Plus the practicality and utility of a small SUV. Plus Honda reliability. All in the same car! Yes, you pay an $11,000 premium over the lesser Civic's. So, if you don't want the extra performance, buy a Civic Si or Touring... Yes, some of the Type R's have a grinding issue with the transmission. Luckily, i have not. My friends have all the other performance cars that compete with the Type R and they have much bigger problems than an occasional transmission grind! I'm shocked by the negative reviews of the Type R some have posted. One person called it "slow". I was going to by a BMW M2 Competition until the Type R beat it on the Nurburgring Ring race track. Quite simply it's one of the fastest cars ever made; period ! If you think the Type R is slow, you don't know how to drive !! Another person said it rides rough and the seats are not comfortable. True - It's a RACE CAR! A TRUE performance car will not be comfortable or have the ride of a Cadillac. What did you think you were buying? Another person said the Type R looks just like the other Civics. If you think that, you are smoking CRACK!! The Type R has some of the most distinctive looks of ANY car on the road. If you're thinking of buying a Type R, know what trade-offs you suffer from ANY performance car and you won't regret your purchase.

Critical Review
This car I bought new. Already has been in the service shop for transmission problems. I, made a huge mistake buying this car. I'm having nothing but problems already with this car. Plus, this car looks the same as all the other Honda Civics with the same stupid body style. For what I paid for this car, believe me.. it's definitely not worth it!!!

Practical. Fast. Fun to drive. Comfortable. 30+ highway mpg
low profile tires means you feel a lot of bumps. but totally worth it (not that bad)
I LOVE this car. I have had ZERO problems with my car. I have had the most fun EVER driving a car. OMG. AND, it's very practical. Storage in the back is phenomenal. Best car buy I have ever made.
Bought this card new 7 years ago. It's a great car. I'm 65 years old. The only thing is it only came in black and white cuz it's a 2018. I've had no issues with this car other than the recalls and the problem with the air conditioning which Honda has been very generous with and extending the warranty for 10 years and I've had to have it changed several times but now it seems to be okay. We'll see how long that lasts because without air conditioning in the summer. Anyway, overall fantastic car for $40,000. You can't complain about the other things like the infotainment system and small things. Even though it would have been nice if you had the same infotainment system as they had in the Accord of the same year and also with the projection up on the windshield
Very fun to drive, quick acceleration, and comes with great brembo brakes.
Need a bigger fuel tank, need a better exhaust system
Very fun to drive, quick acceleration and response, breaking and cornering its unbelievable on the track.
Car is a beast and it gets good gas mileage, can't complain, seems reliable. Honda is about reliability.This car shows the reliability of the honda logo. If you want to go fast and have a good car, this is a car to have you also get great gas mileage, you can't complain about that. It always put to smile on your face.When you're going around corners at a hundred and twenty miles an hour. I want to buy another one and I would love to buy the new 1. I wouldn't trade my car in for anything.
Nothing but issues since week 3 of owning this car. Would recommend GR Corolla for the money or Elantra N for less money with a better warranty.
Great shifts and sleeper Great shifts and sleeper Great shifts and sleeper Great shifts and sleeper Great shifts and sleeper Great shifts and sleeper
Almost brand new I take really good care of my car 24/7 I just put new tires I love my car but I want to get a truck for my self
6speed manual, handling,braking, seats, storage.
Large turning circle, eats tires. But so worth it.
Other cars that are this much fun to drive come up short elsewhere. They either cost too much, are too heavy, too numb, or too impractical or boring. Best enthusiast daily driver. A keeper.
