Should I buy a 2019 Honda Civic Type-R Touring?

I’m thinking about buying a new (to me) 2019 Honda Civic Type-R Touring, but I’m not sure if it’s the right move. I want something sporty yet practical. Would you recommend this car?

The 2019
Honda Civic
Type-R Touring (or “TC” for “Touring Car”) is a high-performance vehicle that’s practical enough for an everyday commute.
Overall, the Type-R has earned high marks from critics who love its turbocharged engine, comfortable interior, and advanced safety features.
On the downside, the exterior is a bit too flashy for some people, and if you have a long commute, you’ll likely have to fill up often: at just 25mpg (combined), it’s not the most
fuel-efficient
car on the road. On top of that, driving a manual in heavy traffic can get old fast.
Bottom line? The Type-R doesn’t come cheap, but it should hold its value for several years as long as you keep up with
routine maintenance
. If you’re looking for a sporty everyday ride, and you’re ok with driving manual, it’s a great investment.
Whether you go with a top-of-the-line Type-R or a basic Civic LX,
