Around the racetrack, it’s guaranteed to have more talent than most drivers out there, thereby cementing itself as a venerable track day hero
The 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo loves to rev with a redline that touches 7,000 rpm. Yet, on the daily drive, there’s no need to squeeze every ounce of it since it’s got excellent tractability off the line. With well-spaced gearing and a usable torque curve, there’s little need to row excessively through the gears. All you need is to press down on the accelerator, and it’ll pull with tenacity. It’ll accelerate through the gears rapidly, and before you know it, you’re flying past 100 km/h.
Matching the Civic Type R’s excellent on-road behavior is its driving environment—it’s easily one of the best in the business. The touch points—the seats, steering wheel, and gear lever—all work together to create an impeccable experience. The Alcantara steering wheel is a delight to hold and operate, so too the metal gearlever and pedals. Like the standard Civic, the driving position is low-slung, but here, it’s accentuated further by the one-piece sport buckets. Don’t be fooled though.
Meanwhile, the instrumentation is displayed on a 10.2-inch screen behind the steering wheel with two display modes available. There’s a row of shift lights above it that light up as you head towards the rev limiter helping you time that perfect upshift. You also get an audible beep to alert you, for when you’re too busy to keep an eye on the lights. Both of these functions can be turned off via the Vehicle Settings menu on the infotainment.
