2024 Honda Civic Type R review

The 2024 Honda Civic Type R is the essence of a hot hatch, combining exceptional performance with a stylish interior. It leverages the strengths of the mainstream Civic’s platform while maintaining its well-earned appeal as a performance machine. It also offers tons of cargo space for its class.
