![]() ![]() įret less if you’re a current Type R owner: This is no 2021 Supra, where fundamental changes make it a much better car. One of the two off road oriented trims available on the Toyota Tacoma is the TRD Pro.When it rolled on the track at Atlanta Motorsports Park a few years ago, we dubbed the Honda Civic Type R Motor Authority ’s Best Car To Buy 2018. Let's take one last look at the rear ends of the two. And then this bit here is this matte gray finish instead of gloss black, and then read on the logo and unique gauges. You do have this special plaque that lets everyone know which Type R you have. For both of these, you're going to want to keep a glove or something in the car on hot days because it can get a little scorchy.Īnd then, the trim on the air vents is silver, rather than red. Speaking of clutch, the manual transmission shifter is a solid piece of metal. They are split here, so that when you depress the clutch, the seat moves differently. They're more aggressively bolstered seats. It really looks lovely to have the red carpet throughout the back seat, still black unfortunately. Immediately, you can see that it's much richer color red, higher quality upholstery. Always seems a little cheap to me.īut now let's take a look at Type R. It's not my favorite element of this car. And then the back seat is plain black, cloth upholstery. ![]() And then you have a leather-wrapped shifter with a real metal topper on top. Other elements, as you do have red trim around, these Civic-signature, hexagon air vents. ![]() And there goes in through here, and then up through this vent right there. This is a duct for the brakes to cool them down. And then this here is not a vent, but rather an aerodynamic element that is beneficial for downforce. You have the Type R red Honda emblem, larger opening down here. You do have fog lights down there.Īnd then over here, well, it's a totally- it is a different mesh pattern.

This also has a wider track, which you can see a bit there on the side.Īnd then, if you go up top, you can see those fenders bulging out. Just a regular Civic side sill here, whereas over on the Type R has this piece down here that focuses air around the wheels. Obviously not Brembos, and they are smaller, up here. And they have fatter Brembo brakes stuffed into them. In terms of wheels, these are 18s on the Si. That's not just little, it's pretty substantial. And there's just a little bit of a lip spoiler on the Si. And since it's such a focal point, we can talk about this giant standard wing in the back of the hatchback. Let's take a look at both to show you the differences, at least visually, between the two.įor starters, let's talk about the body style because the Civic Si is sedan only, whereas the Type R is hatchback only. That is the all new Honda Civic Type R. Unlike the past generation, the Type R is actually a cleaner design than the Civic Si, especially up front, but don’t worry, it’s still got that mighty wing. ![]() It goes beyond that, however, with a wider track that necessitates a wider body (and therefore being built at a different factory than every other Civic hatchback). For starters, the Civic Si is only available as a sedan whereas the Type R uses the Civic hatchback body style.
