What Owners are Saying About the 2021 Honda Civic Type R

"Perhaps a good car but not worth the money"

"Bought mine brand new. Experience with the car, not worth the money. Been to the shop because the transmission acting up. The engine has a vibration feel. The shop said it was a motor mount. This car is just a dam joke!!! Definitely not good in the rain and snow. I'm sorry, I definitely don't recommend this vehicle. (OVER PRICED) And with this economy, you won't get that much back vs what you paid in the beginning for this car."

"Was not expecting problems with car"

"I, bought this car new. Already have problems with the transmission second to third. This car has been in the shop to many times with different problems. I'm now trading it in for a Toyota Tacoma. These cars have to many issues. Not worth the high dollar mount."

"Over priced, Bad resale value!!"

"Bought mine brand new. Nothing but a dam headache. Nothing but problems!! Take to the shop again for transmission issues. Problems with the engine making a ticking noise. These cars are absolutely ridiculous. I, should of bought a regular Honda Civic in the beginning. Half the cost of the stupid car. No, I do not recommend this car to anyone."

Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values. This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.
