Honda's powerful twin-cam engine, well-tuned sports suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes make an exciting ride. Supportive, contoured seats, excellent visibility, and all the conveniences make it a comfortable ride. A useable back seat and expandable cargo space also make it practical.

Sleek, clean and elegant, the Type-R is designed to exude performance. Its lines are understated. It looks contemporary and aggressive, with short front and rear overhangs and a cabin-forward silhouette, featuring a driver-oriented cockpit. Visibility is excellent out front and large mirrors provide good visibility rearward. Seats are deeply sculpted and supportive when cornering hard, with thigh, lumbar, and shoulder adjustments on the driver's side.

Winning an array of industry awards, including being named Car and Driver's "10 Best" and Ward's "10 Best Engines" lists. The 'Teg offers the performance that enthusiasts crave, but the level of refinement makes it competitive with vehicles from Mercedes and BMW.
