The Honda Civic Type R has reached cult status of late. This latest 2023 model (FL5 generation) is considered THE compact performance car benchmark, but with a newfound sense of refinement. It has cleaner lines and newer tech to go with its powerful mechanicals. In fact, it almost feels like a race car as soon as you get behind the wheel and press that glowing red starter button. Honda has gone to a lot of effort to make the Type R’s interior feel special. I mean just look at it! The seats and steering wheel are trimmed in lovely suede, with the seats and carpets coloured an eye-popping shade of red to match Type Rs of old, as well as the iconic red ‘H’ logo used on Honda performance products. Finally, the (FL5) Type R is what you could imagine a Porsche 911 GT3 would be like if it was built to this price point. It’s exceptionally quick both in a straight line and through a set of corners, is incredibly precise and engaging to drive, with a level of sharpness, grip and stability you will never have experienced in a front-wheel drive hot hatch. It is also wonderfully damped in all its drive modes, yet looks and feels like a race car for the road. Come along and try what the legendary “Type R” moniker is all about.

Please park the car where you found it or as close as possible to where it was parked. You will find the car parked on the street, in front of the long timber paling fence, at this address. Please do not park the car inside the parking area of the church hall next door. (I do not live at this address but will meet you there for the handover.) Thank you!

Fantastic host, great to chat to regarding the car - not to mention the car being flawless and clean before picking it up. Will absolutely rent from Theo again!

Great host (and a lovely family). Car was immaculate and communication was clear.

Absolutely must experience this mint condition icon: the Honda Civic Type R. Cannot recommend highly enough for the driving enthusiast
Believe the hype… the Type R combines the best in engaging driving experience and unbelievable levels of performance/handling. So supremely capable, driver friendly and confidence inspiring it definitely needs some twisty mountain roads to truly (but still safely) appreciate the car and the feelings, sights and sounds. Recommend the perfectly suited Reefton Spur Drive from Warburton, through Reefton to Marysville
Theo too is wonderful: prompt communications, happy to accommodate and down to have a chat, everything you could want from a host to make it a smooth enjoyable process all around. Thanks and I will be back!

Theo is a true car enthusiast super chill and easy to talk to about cars. The car where I even start the Fl5 type r is pure magic in this era of dying performance cars. Would recommend anyone to go for a drive. Theo's car was very clean and in great condition. Would book again.
