You could well want to, you know. Because as well as the stuff that road testers and keen drivers get excited about, the boring bits like its pricing and fuel economy are pretty persuasive.

And yes, even if it’s arguably not as compelling a proposition as, say, a Volkswagen Golf R or a Renault Megane RS 275 Trophy, it is probably the most capable series front-wheel-drive car in production. And there’s quite a lot to be said for that.

The new Type R stands shoulder to shoulder with the best, sharpest and most extreme hot hatches of all time. It finds enormous grip, it has bundles of straight-line performance and body control is exemplary.

The new Honda Civic Type R is a return to form for the Japanese brand’s performance arm. Following the trend for turbocharging means this is the fastest, most accessible Civic ever and there’s a chassis underneath to match these talents. However, although it’s well equipped and more powerful, the Honda is pricier than its rivals and can’t quite match the Renaultsport Megane for old-school hot hatch thrills and feel.

I have reservations over the Civic Type R's image and appearance, and Honda's taken an unashamedly hardcore tack with it. But it's genuinely exciting to drive, massively fast and relaxes far better than the bodywork suggests.

It's very different to a Golf R, but effectively carves its own niche in the hot hatch class - there's nothing else quite like it except the Megane, and I'd have it over the Renault. I think. Anyway, the more I drove it the more I liked it. I ended up liking it a lot

"Type R faster than M135i and Golf R" (probably around Contidrom :) )
