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!
