      A racing driver once told me that when you hold a steering wheel you're having a conversation with the car, you need to caress it, and feel the resistance, the slip, the ABS. You're not trying to control it, force it. You want to talk with it.

    The Corolla GR Core with the performance pack looks like the better buy by far if you want a fun everyday driver. The Civic looks like it’ll beat up your spine on any surface other than a smooth track. And that wing really needs to be optional.

      Yeah, he was in race+ mode. I'd imagine it it will be as comfortable as previous one when in comfort mode. Really tough choice between this and Corolla GR. I think it might come down to availability for many. The AWD on Corolla GR is great, but the Type R has that that connected driving feel and gearbox and looks roomier and more refined.

    Honda's excellence and success with the Civic is just amazing. Normal Civic? The best option for a normal car, Civic Si and Civic Type R? Among the very best options of their classes, and not only are they fun, they are so usable and practical! I love Honda Civics so much! ❤️ Honda's consistency at delivering quality is comparable to The Staright Pipes' level of consistent quality!

    Thanks for sharing your impressions Jakub! As a 2021 Type R owner, I would buy this. If you paid a huge markup on the previous one and could get lucky enough to get one of these new, I think it's a no-brainer. I wouldn't pay more for it than I already did for the FK8 though.
