2021 Honda Civic Type R review: Australian first drive

With a hot hatch that’s already at the pointy end of the segment when it comes to handling and performance, Honda hasn’t needed to go back to the drawing board for the 2021 Honda Civic Type R. In the way that Japanese brands like Mazda and Lexus so often do, Honda has instead focused on fine details and incremental improvements. The result is a Civic Type R that certainly looks like a Type R, and drives like a Type R, just, better.
