The New Honda Civic Type R Will Set You Back $34,775
We already know that the Honda Civic Si will set you back $23,900 (MSRP), but what about the hot Type R? We at last have our answer: exactly $10,000 more.
A CivicX forum member snapped a Type R window sticker at a port somewhere in the USA, which revealed the MSRP to be $33,900. It also has the price after destination and handling fees listed, which is $34,775.
Assuming the CivicX image is legitimate, this makes the Type R a smidge cheaper than the Ford Focus RS, which is $36,120 MSRP, and $36,995 with destination/handling charges. It’s significantly cheaper than the Golf R with its $39,375 recommended retail, although the target market for VW’s four-wheel drive hot hatch are arguably a little different.
In the UK meanwhile, where car prices are generally higher, we have to stump up £30,995 ($39,955) for the new Type R, as confirmed by Honda last month.
Given the choice, which would you have: the Focus RS, or the Civic Type R?
