NO RIVALS HAVE destroyed all comers like the Civic Type R. Believe it or not, the fact that the Type R can corner faster than some supercars and feels like a road-legal touring car racer aren’t the only reasons why it wins. It wins overall because it’s so multi-dimensional, being one of the roomiest, most comfortable and best-equipped hot hatches you can buy, as well as one of the quickest.
Our pick 2.0 VTEC Turbo GT
List price £33,870
Target Price £32,578
MPG 33.2 CO2 178g/km (NEDC)
For Handles brilliantly, yet surprisingly comfortable and easy to live with.
Against Infotainment system is poor and the engine could sound more special.
