With a VTEC engine, wheels pushed out to the furthest corners of the car, and lots of grip, critics say the Type-R is as close as you can get to driving a race car on the road.
As far as exhaust goes, the Type-R has three tailpipes; the two outer pipes include straight-flow mufflers, while the center pipe is a resonator. The result is a louder, more aggressive “growl” than you’d typically hear on most cars.
Whether you own a sporty Type-R or a baseline Civic, it’s important to make sure you have the right insurance coverage for your vehicle.
