The 2015 Honda Civic Type-R may be the fastest FWD sports hatch of all time, but is it worth the price? To begin with, it comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.
In 10 to 50 speed, the car hovers really fast in just 6 seconds, and go up to 168mph of speed. In under 8 minutes, the Honda Civic Type-R can run a lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife. If you’re wondering about the price, the Honda Civic Type-R costs you about $46, 000, which seems like a not really reasonable price for the model. The best price should be no more than $30, 000.
In comparison, the 2016 Volkswagen Golf R hatchback arrives at Volkswagen dealerships with a starting price of $36, 470, including $820 destination charge. Also, the base model comes with a new six-speed manual transmission.
For the manual transmission, the Volkswagen Golf R is equipped with 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and 292 horsepower. For the automatic transmission, the Volkswagen Golf R is priced at $37, 570. Considering the price, we think that the latter wins in terms of value for money.
