The all-new Honda Civic Type R had an extremely long development cycle. It’s now been launched and has to go about living up to the hype Honda has generated.
Here Steve Sutcliffe from Auto Express takes the Type R to the tight Llandow Circuit in Wales to see how it compared with the Seat Leon Cupra 280 and the Renault Megane RS275 Trophy.
That’s all well and good, nobody would be surprised if the Type R was the quickest of that trio. But what if the Audi RS3 and BMW M3 are added to the list?

One reply on “Just how good is the Civic Type R?”
I dont think these are relia le tests. They did 1 lap on each and thats it. Imho .5 second disadvantage isnt a good indicator, specially if only 1 lap was done.
I’d take the seat over both of em any day of the weak. Looks are much better.
