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?
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I’m still salty that we don’t get the Civic Si in Europe
WTF?This is cheaper than the FD2….oh wait,tax,tax,tax,tax
I’ll rather have this than a new GTi. And it’s only 5 grand more expensive
FORD: Sorry, Americans. We’re going to stop production of the Focus RS.
HONDA: Americans, you want the Civic Type-R? Here is it!
Unfortunately it costs £30,995 more than I can afford
$34,775! you can get a Mustang GT with an upgraded diff for that!
35 grand for a FWD “performance” car?
BTw, everyone trying to make FWD out as fun have 100% totally forgotten the main reason FWD even exists.
Wait what
