2016 Honda Civic Thread (10th gen)

Not only have 2018 Honda Civic Type Rs started to arrive in the United States but deliveries have also commenced in the Great White North and unsurprisingly, some dealerships and owners are looking to cash in on demand for the Japanese hot hatch.

Listed on Auto Trader, the Civic Type R in question is allegedly being sold by a private seller but considering the pictures posted are straight from the showroom floor, we wouldn’t be surprised if a dealer was behind the listing.

The Civic has been listed as “used” but has just 8 km on the clock, essentially making it a brand new unit available for immediate delivery. With an asking price of $81,995, a prospective owner will be able to jump the cue and get behind the wheel of the latest and greatest front-wheel drive car almost immediately but the price is almost exactly double that of the car’s $40,890 MSRP.

It is hard to imagine why someone would pay so much for a Honda Civic but the first Type R in America did recently sell for $200,000 at auction, a truly frightening figure and perhaps suggesting that this $82k example could find a new home quite swiftly.

On paper, the new Civic Type R is pretty impressive but certainly doesn’t have $82,000 worth of performance. It receives its grunt from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 306 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque and can reach 60 mph (96 km/h) in 5.7 seconds. With a 7 minute and 43.8 second lap time around the Nurburgring, it is also a record holder for the fastest front-wheel drive production car at the famed German track but once again we’ll ask, is all of that really worth $82,000? We don’t think so.

They think stupid people would pay double or triple to resellers like they do on kijiji for sneakers. SMFH!

I'll never understand why they decided to go with such aggressive looks with the new Type R.

These 3 models were my favorite. The were so clean and have aged well.

Cuz the new Honda is not your 80's and 90's Honda.

I would argue that by early Y2K things started to go downhill.

I mean look no further than at their current Formula One efforts. They used to sell cars to join the race, now they race just to sell cars.

I feel like the new CTR is going to age horribly.

Congrats, I hope you got it for MSRP or close. But whether you did or not is not my business. I am looking hard at these. Do you have any experience in its competition (RS, Golf R, STI, ETC.) and/or do you have any track experience to share what your opinions are on this cars ability.

Paid msrp 34,775 plus taxes , title and transfer. Hmm can't really compare it cars in its own class I think personally. One things for certain it greatly rewards your driving skills . I'll post videos once break in is done.

Congratulations on the car. I just read the full Top Gear magazine comparison test and in-depth review published a few days ago - it was a near-total rave (aside from a few cracks about its "juvenile" looks). It was their choice over the Focus RS, Golf R, and some Renault hot hatch.

I'd love to hear how you find its handling and fun-to-drive quotient compared to the twins. Giving it a serious look, but I have concerns about its size - the Civic platform is now so big it's within a few inches of the WRX in length, and that's a car I find too large. Does it drive smaller than it looks?
