New Honda Civic Type R 2020 review

Verdict
This facelift has not broadened the Civic’s talents to the point where it can outdo the Golf GTI as the best all-rounder on the hot hatch market (we’re keen to try a new Sportline on more forgiving 19in wheels, because it may come close). But the updates do add yet more driver appeal to a vehicle recognised as the enthusiast’s choice at this price point. So you end up with a car which may not necessarily attract fresh custom, but one that has even more allure for anyone
