Few cars can do it all like the Honda Civic Type R. Obviously, the Civic Type R is a legend for its performance credentials, but that's not the point of this channel. This channel is about how these cars fit into a real dad and real family's daily life, and to that extent, the 2023 Honda Civic Type R might be perfect. When it's not blasting around racetracks or back roads, the Civic Type R becomes a slightly more intense Honda Civic, itself the best all around car in the class. The fact that the Civic Type R is a hatchback, based on the regular Honda Civic hatch, makes it even more practical and versatile. While we had the Honda Civic Type R, we went grocery shopping, on college visits, and of course had some fun on mountain roads. Over hundreds of miles, the Civic Type R was a willing and able companion as much as it once a barnstorming lunatic. Whereas the Hyundai Kona N and Elantra N are a little more raucous and raw and the Volkswagen Golf R is more... German, the Honda Civic Type R rolls all the best attributes of those cars into one package that is even more capable. Only the Toyota GR Corolla has a similar mix of instanity and usability, but the back seat in the GR Corolla is smaller since it's based on the Corolla hatch, itself different from the Toyota Corolla sedan. At $45k before the inevitable dealer markups, which are growing tiresome for sure, the 2023 Honda Civic Type R represents peak enthusiast family car. As an enthusiast dad, there is no higher praise than this: if I were spending my own money on my own daily driver, the Honda Civic Type R is absolutely the car I would buy. Although I could be swayed to that Acura Integra Type S in candy red with the gold wheels, simply for the looks!

God what a joy to drive something like this around North Georgia... The styling on these have really grown on me, but I'm certainly still more a fan of the 10th Gen's exterior styling for my taste. The 11th Gen's gauge cluster though? That's something else.

@jax1079 9 ай бұрын
Yeah, the current gen Civic makes for a much better interior starting point with a lot higher feeling of quality. I prefer the simplified styling of the 2023 Civic Type R, but the previous Type R didn’t bother me all that much. Now the Integra Type S… that looks fantastic .

I found one in Maine of all places for $45,109. Having it shipped next week and it will Arrive just in time for Father’s Day ☺️. My wife’s daily driver is a 2019 Nissan Maxima (paid for) and my daily is a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0t which is also paid for!! I haven’t driven a manual since my days in the Army with the old 5 tons 😂!!

@@nicholaswilliams6697 yes I’m keeping the Accord. I love that car! It will go down in history as the best Accord and engine combo ever. Fun fact that most people didn’t know about the 2.0t. When you put the car into sport mode it will auto rev match when you get above speeds of 45mph and brake. The car will auto rev match. Now what I’m not sure about is if it was only a 2018 model year thing or did they keep this feature for all Sport 2.0t. Not sure why Honda never included this in there information when advertising the car.

Wanted a daily driver, preferably with hatch, that was fun to drive and ideally could be used for Autocross or track day. For me the competition was a VW GTI or Golf R (haptics are terrible, shifter rubbery) BMW 3 series (yawn behind the wheel and weird dash) or Porsche Macan (just sits too high). I went with the Type R.
