While we learned that the Honda Civic Type-R will be coming to the United States in the future, currently, the car is only available in Euro-spec. Which means that all reviews of said car are bound to be sprinkled with European turns of phrase. With the release of a first drive review, we can act as translator.
In short, the reviewer for XCar describes the Type-R as positively mental. In our vernacular, that means it takes our expectations and blows them completely out of the water. With 306 horsepower delivered to the front wheels, and a manual transmission with an old-school feel, the reviewer states that this is a car that demands to be driven.
We hope the U.S. model lives up to this hype. In the meantime, catch the review below.
While we wait for this new Honda to arrive at our Concord, CA dealership, we're pleased to state that we have plenty of other models that are sure to knock your socks off. Contact us today to learn more.
