2020 Honda Civic Type R Touring

The 2020 Civic is a compact car available as a sedan, coupe, or hatchback, with a sporty character that sets it apart from the Corolla and Mazda3. The Civic is genuinely enjoyable to drive, with sharp steering and a composed chassis that make it a standout in its class. Inside, the Civic offers a spacious cabin and generous trunk space for the class, though the touchscreen interface can be finicky at times. Reliability is a Civic hallmark, and owners report few problems beyond occasional infotainment glitches. The Type R Touring is the top-dog Civic, sitting well above the Si and the rest of the lineup with a track-ready focus. Its 2.0L I4 makes 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, sent through the six-speed manual to the front wheels, and it returns 25 mpg combined. The adaptive dampers and limited-slip differential are standard here, so you get sharp turn-in and strong grip without sacrificing daily comfort.
