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. It is around twice the price of some subcompact car models available in the automobile market.

However, great things come with a price, they might say. At that price for a car, we are expecting remarkable features and advancements. To dig deeper on whether you can get your money’s worth with the Civic Type R, here’s what to look forward to.

Pros

A grandeur track star.

The Honda Civic Type R will definitely make you feel expensive, as this pricey car does look pricey as well. Its exterior comes with fine features that will not only make your driving experience safe but are contributing to the Type R’s good-looking sporty appearance.

It has a remarkable engine performance.

That Php3.18 million price of the Civic Type R might be explained by its top-of-the-class performance. This model is equipped with a 2.0-L VTEC Turbo engine that brings 310PS of power at 6,500 revolutions per minute with a peak torque of 400 nanometers at 2,500-4,500 revolutions per minute. Together with its swift 6-speed manual transmission, this engine-transmission package is desirable to car enthusiasts.

If you’re looking forward to buying a car, it is necessary to look for downsides as well. Although this entry model from Honda is remarkably outstanding in overall ratings, finding out its cons would help you decide where to invest your hard-earned money. To point out its cons, here’s a list of some according to reviews.

Cons

Not all safety features are present.
For an expensive high-functioning type of car, the Honda Civic Type R lacks safety features like lane keep assist and autonomous emergency braking.

It’s way too expensive.
This compact car entry from Honda is way too expensive than its rival – Volkswagen Golf R. This year’s version of the Civic Type R has increased approximately 50% more than the previous years.

The exterior may not be appealing to female automotive customers.
This aggressive-looking compact car model may seem to be not for a feminine liking. The Type R has a sharp exterior appearance attractive to sporty and adventurous individuals. Although the Civic Type R has a masculine look, it may also be appealing to some other women.

There’s no reverse sensor and reverse camera.
A high-end car model fit for a race car driver may seem to be independent without the reverse camera and sensor. However, this could be an issue for some users.

In conclusion, the Honda Civic Type R is worth the price if you enjoy its strengths. In this case, the most powerful weapon of the new Type R is its engine and transmission performance. Plus, with that driving power capability, Honda also assures that you’ll be driving in class.
