The Focus RS is the old boy, the car that arrived to kick the former horsepower champs ? the Subaru WRX STI and Volkswagen Golf R ? in the teeth with oodles of power, standard all-wheel drive, and a frikkin? drive mode dedicated to sideways funny business. The Civic Type R is the Rookie of the...

The 2018 Honda Civic Type R is easy to dismiss on paper. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 makes "only" 306 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, about average for the segment. And what criminal would send that power to only the front wheels? That would've been considered heresy back when I was a kid, but...

Ah yes, the Honda Civic Type R. This is the first Civic Type R sold in the United States. It all starts with a turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter inline-four that cranks out 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque. There?s none of the instant gratification and raucousness of the...

I pity those who test drive the Honda Civic Type R. It's a complete waste of time ? a futile exercise - as a dozen fleeting minutes behind the wheel of the world's highest-performing front-wheel drive hatchback, with a nervous salesperson roosted in the right seat, is unlikely to reveal anything...

The Honda Civic Type R has been named the Best Car of 2017 by Digital Trends, a leading technology news site. With its muscular 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo? engine, short-throw 6-speed manual transmission, race bred chassis and rigid body, the Type R is the most powerful Honda ever sold in America...

The adage "May you live in interesting times" is both a a blessing and a curse. And its two-sides-of-the-coin quality rests on that key word, "interesting." Not its simple meaning-like, it's interesting to watch the Ken Burns' documentary The War. Rather, it's interesting like World War II...

There's no other vehicle quite like a hot hatch. Enthusiasts love cars like the Volkswagen Golf R and Ford Focus RS for their combination of practicality and performance. You can be a hero on a back road and still load it down with passengers and groceries. For years, most hot hatches were...

Honda began selling the much anticipated Civic Type R this June as a 2017 model. After just a few months, the hot hatch moves into the 2018 model year starting today, and that transition brings along with it an increase in price. The 2018 Honda Civic Type R is available for $34,990. This price...

The Honda Civic Type R is one of the fastest and most capable hatchbacks around, but with a base MSRP of $34,775, it isn't exactly the most affordable. The high base price is due in part to the mono-spec nature of the car: one trim with all the bells and whistles. That said, it seems that Honda...

It doesn't get hotter than the 2017 Honda Civic Type R ? at least this month. That comes as no surprise since the Type R is just now making its debut in the U.S. after decades of devouring foreign roads in markets worldwide. This performance variant is based on the 10th-generation Civic, a...

It's been 25 years since Honda Motor Company introduced the first Type-R badge on the NSX, but for some reason, it's never been applied to a Honda badged car in North America. Aside from the mid-1990s Acura Integra Type-R, the hottest Hondas have been reserved for Europe and Japan. Thankfully...

It's not often that a high performance, race ready hatchback is also comfortable, competent and refined while performing street duty. In rolls Honda's long awaited world-platform 10th generation 2017 Civic Type-R -- astoundingly good! Honda's world record setting 2017 Civic Type-R is much more...

For this week's entry in New Car Dreams, Shattered, we point you to the tale of Greg Ellingson, a man who flew from Philadelphia to Boston to pick up his sporty new 2017 Honda Civic Type R only to finish the trip home in a tow truck with a wrecked car. No one was injured in the crash, which...

After just a few scant months of production, the new Honda Civic Type R gains a new race-only variant. JAS Motorsport announced plans for the new Type R TCR earlier this week, slating availability ahead of the 2018 TCR series season. Essentially, TCR is a cost-forward, moderate-speed touring...

No car-buying site can calculate a fair price for a limited-run, highly anticipated car like the 2017 Honda Civic Type R. But it's very easy to tell whether your local dealership is playing fair or praying for a very impatient person to walk in and buy the car at an absurd premium. In our review...

The hottest Hondas offered to Americans often wore an Acura badge, including the NSX supercar and the oldie-but-goodie Integra Type R. But with Ford's wild Focus RS joining the Subaru WRX STI and Volkswagen Golf R in the U.S., the time has come for Honda to finally introduce a machine here that...
