Honda Civic Type R

What it says about you

Opinion

Front-wheel drive, a wing you cannot defend at dinner, and one of the best-handling cars of its generation regardless. You have stopped explaining the wing.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

NHTSA does not file this car separately. Complaints about the Honda Civic Type R are recorded against the Honda Civic, so there is no fault record here that belongs to this car alone — we checked, and the two came back 99% identical. Rather than show you the Honda Civic's numbers under this name, this page shows what is genuinely specific to it. The record itself is on the Honda Civic page.
