FIRST DRIVE: The Civic Type R is here and Honda has made some big changes for 2023. This hot hatch competes with the Toyota GR Corolla, Hyundai Elantra N, VW GTI, VW Golf R and VW Jetta GLI. Under the hood is now 315HP & mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. On the outside the only thing shared with a standard Civic hatchback are the front doors, roof, and rear hatch. On the inside there is the return of red carpet, performance seats and new digital gauge cluster. Is the 2023 Honda Civic Type R a new performance car WORTH the PRICE?
