Type R
RRP from £31,525

The Type R is the sportiest Civic you can have, so comes as standard with an aggressive body kit, LED headlights, 20-inch alloy wheels and a triple exhaust. The race car theme continues inside, thanks to body-hugging sports seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, polished-alloy pedals and a plaque with the car’s build number.

The Civic Type R isn't a subtle looking car – but it has the performance to back up those looks
The Type R corners like a race car – but is more comfy than the previous version
Headroom in the back is a bit tight, but otherwise the Type R is quite practical
The Civic's an engaging drive, but won't keep up with four-wheel drive alternatives in the wet
The standard-fit sports seats are comfortable but very supportive
The gearshift feels satisfying and sporty – like you're in a race car
The infotainment system isn't terribly good – luckily you can get Apple CarPlay for smartphone mirroring
Headroom in the back is a bit tight, but otherwise the Type R is quite practical
With the rear seats folded down the Type R becomes a useful car for trips to the tip
The boot's load cover pulls across the boot from the side
Fast, but very easy to live with on a day-to-day basis
The exhausts drone, but a Ford Focus RS is more characterful
It looks like a race car and goes like a race car
