Honda civic type r6/13/2023 The VW’s three rear seats offer more headroom, but the Civic’s two rear passengers will enjoy significantly more legroom - even if they stand six-foot-four. With all those modes and settings, it feels like drivers have to figure out the right combination in order for the Golf R to find their perfect fit - something which unfortunately never clicked for either of us. The Dynamic Chassis Control damper settings have about 15 settings to choose from, and while it is possible to tell a difference at the ends of that spectrum, it’s far more subtle in the middle of the spread. On the other hand, the Custom mode is an overwhelming buffet of settings. Unfortunately, even on cold tires, this mode never seemed like enough to overcome the size or weight of the car, and might be most enjoyable on a slick surface like a skid pad or ice rink. ![]() The fun twist is that the power can also be routed to an individual rear wheel as needed thanks to AWD-system cleverness - theoretically enabling it to put about 157 ponies on a single tire, if the system decides. Article contentĪ drift setting helps further distinguish the Golf R from the GTI - and other hot hatches for that matter - sending up to 50 per cent of the engine’s power to the rear axle. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The two cars feel fairly even in terms of cornering capability, which may mean more to the heavier, taller VW. Launching from the line sees minimal parasitic chatter, limited slippage, and instant thrust. It may be the less torque-y of the two, but the Golf R’s all-wheel-drive translates power into movement more efficiently than the Civic’s FWD, although the engine never feels quite as thrilling or raw as its rivals. ![]() The ‘lesser’ GTI even sports the same engine, though tuned for 70-ish fewer ponies. The 2022 Volkswagen Golf R is plenty familiar by this point, its motor a tweaked version of the EA888 found in 2.0-litre Vee-dubs reaching over a decade back. True to its roots, a further-lightened flywheel spins the existing six-speed manual, their interface smoothed by revised rev-matching and their front-wheel output focused by a limited-slip diff. The 2023 Honda Civic Type R adapts the previous-generation Type R’s same snappy engine, this time delivering nine more horsepower and 15 lb-ft more torque. Horsepower is matched at 315 in both cars torque turns a respective 295 or 280 lb-ft in the DSG and manual Golfs, respectively and 310 lb-ft in the Civic. Both of these vehicles run 2.0L turbo-fours.
