Unlike before, which had a bigger allotment into the triple digits, this time around, the sixth-generation Civic Type R is only limited to 30 units, so you better move quickly as orders for these vehicles will come swiftly and co

(Images from Honda PH) People buying cars would consider many factors – the looks, practicality, reliability, and of course fuel consumption, but the last criterion does not matter at all when buying a Honda Civic Type R.
