Used Honda Civic Type R

The Honda Civic Type R is a high performance version of the classic Honda Civic.

The History and Development of the Honda Civic Type R

When the Honda Civic Type R first arrived, it was based entirely on the very popular sixth generation of the base Honda Civic. That base model has achieved considerable success and the new generation saw a range of iterations and trim levels to apparel to different target markets. The Honda Civic Type R is clearly an example of that.

The idea was that Honda could take the base attributes and performance levels of the Civic and create a high performance car capable of track performance from there. When tested, the performance level of the Type R was very impressive indeed.

The Civic R Type Motor Sports edition was unveiled in 1998 and saw changes that were far more suited to professional motor sports driving, as the name suggests. Consequently, a lot of the conveniences and things that made the car comfortable for modern drivers were removed.

Since then, there have been various iterations of the Civic Type R. They were generally tied to the new generation of the bad Civic. With each new generation, a new Type R based on it was introduced.

The most recent versions of the Honda Civic Type R are the FK2 based on the ninth generation of the Civic and the FN2, based on the eight generation Civic. The latest trims available for the Type R include the GT which offers night driving features and a dual zone climate control system, the Type R Heritage which offers a more up to date infotainment system, and the Type R Race which is much lighter than previous models.
