Full review of the 2023 Honda Civic Type R, including the 2.0-litre turbo engine, handling, ride, price, features and running costs. The Honda Civic Type R is now priced at $72,600 driveaway in Australia, which is a huge increase on the old model. But, with many people calling this the best hot hatch on sale, is the new FL5 CTR worth big money? The Civic Type R uses a 235kW (316hp) tune in Australia but overseas it has 243kW (325hp). It competes with the Volkswagen Golf R, Hyundai i30 N and hatches like the AMG A35 and A45 plus Audi S3 and RS3. The Civic is only available with a manual transmission and LSD.
