Honda fanboys, your patience has been rewarded: The all-new Civic Type R is here, and it’s glorious. A 306-hp turbo 2.0-liter inline-four with a six-speed manual and front-wheel drive is the only powertrain offered. A front-strut suspension—Honda calls it Dual Axis—reduces the torque steer normally associated with high-powered front-drive vehicles. Navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 12-speaker stereo are all standard goodies. The Type R will reach showrooms in spring 2017.
