About a year ago we got our hands on the new 2016 Honda Civic Type R hot hatchback to review. Powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharge VTEC engine producing 306bhp and 400Nm of torque, the new Type R will get from 0-62 MPH in 5.7 seconds. Top speed is 168 MPH. The Type R uses Honda's dual axis suspension to counter torque steer. Bespoke Continental tyres provide plenty of grip.
1 year on from the cars launch, and with the introduction of many all wheel drive competitors such as the Focus RS, is the front wheel drive 2016 Honda Civic Type R still in the battle? We explore if the Type R has still got what it takes in this road test.
+R mode turns this car into a real track weapon with 30% stiffer dampers, increased throttle and steering response, as well as new torque mapping. In this mode it can mount a real challenge to the RS in track.
