And the Honda wins for being the ugliest car of the group

Cool but we can over hype this car but it's only so capable, unless you drop a lot of money in to it, the rear is botched, the wheel well is weird.. these are the reasons we bought other things, oh FWD after driving an e30 no thanks

Give it all the praise you want, this is still one of the ugliest cars ever made. And driven exclusively by douchebags and wanna be car enthusiasts.

That Civic is one ugly car.

what about mercedes amg a45s ? why it is not in the comparison ?

My son has a honda civic turbo he gets better mpg than my friends highbrid he ets 60 mpg highway 40 in town my friends highbrid gets 40 mpg highway 40 mpg city this civic is a great car

Yeah but its a front wheel drive so get ready to die

This guy doesnt like hondas

This is my new favorite car... not because I own one but the cops love them and they cant pull me over while they write the type r driver his.

Do these engines dilute the oil with gasoline like the Honda 1500 turbo? The CRV issue is bad. My friend has one with the factory fix installed. Oil smells like gasoline. Direct injection and turbocharging seems like a bad idea.

I have never given any Honda a second look until the other day I saw a murdered out lowered Honda Accord and I almost broke my neck walking past it. That car was dead sexy.

Are these the engines that allow gasoline to get into the oil? Thus your motor is ruined by 50,000 miles. No thanks.

Sodium exhaust valves has been used on Subaru(STI) for a long time

....still take the golf R over any of these cars. Throw a couple bolt ons and golf R's are crazy fast, plus it looks better...and theres that AWD thing too...

But the problem with the Civic Type R is, it is FWD. It can't beat my Focus RS in the snow....never.

Thumbs up for the f1 pun. Great car, terrible looks.

Ugh... Direct injection😒🧹

Nice

Shame they wasted this engine on a silly FWD car.

They need to offer leather interior, not into the flashy interior.

But I don’t track much

Drove one of these on the track the other day. Absolutely unbelievable that you can buy a car so focussed from a dealership. The Focus RS doesn’t even come close to the feeling the Honda gives

Love so much about this engine EXCEPT the valve clogging direct injection. :(

Is direct injection system in this engine make carbon bild up, because I am thinking to buy one but not sure anymore because of that problem,,,, direct injection make carbon bild up, anyone please let me know,thanks.

But would Johnny Tran use it

Yea but it ugly.

You may get a warning that there is a problem with a chain unlike belts
if you get even a slight rattle stop you will save you're engine if you do.

Honda has always built a very good 4 cyl. engine.

If they would put that engine in a true sports car like the S2000 I would buy it. I just don't like the way this car looks. It's design is boring and obvious. It looks like half the other cars on the road.

i like how you pretend the focus RS is not faster... "oh yeah the focus beats the honda here, but wait, here we have honda beating ford by literally 0.1 seconds over here!!" yeah hey, if anything the focus is more impressive because it weighs several hundred more pounds and has AWD and still manages to beat the type R with a similar sized engine and turbo. so actually the ford engine is really more impressive. all these design features of the honda engine you mention are not truly meaningful in any significant way compared to standard and current technology. i mean to be honest, this does seem to be typical delusional honda owner tripe. plus the source of these tests could also be biased or unreliable in some way, because the RS and type R numbers are extremely close.
