Hats off to the 2022 Honda Civic Type R for cruising to a high spot in reviews of its class, hailing as the best compact car of its category in 2022. This car entry by Honda is being sold at Php3.18 million in the Philippines. The price of this Japanese-made vehicle shows to be an expensive model car.
