Honda Civic Type R Review: The end of an era?

It’s official: the Honda Civic Type R is being pulled from UK showrooms in July 2026. After 28 years of front-wheel-drive dominance, strict new emissions laws have finally killed off the petrol-powered legend. As Honda reveals the ultra-rare £60,000 "Ultimate Edition," we’re finding out if the standard £52,000 FL5 is the car you should secure right now as a future classic.

We’re diving into the 329hp turbocharged engine, testing the peerless 6-speed manual gearbox, and seeing if the move to a fully digital dash was the right move for the purists. From the 0-60mph launch to the truth about those "100% real" triple exhausts, this is the definitive guide to the last pure petrol Type R we will ever see. Is it worth the £12,000 premium over the old FK8? Let’s find out!
