Honda Malaysia has collected more than 200 bookings for its very limited (just 19 units) allocation of the FL5 generation Honda Civic Type R for the year 2023. More units will come in 2024 (with possibility of a higher price) but buyers who want to get their cars this year, at its current RM 399,900 price will have to jostle with at least 200 more fans clamouring for the car. Since the announcement in Budget 2024, logistics – including vehicle transport – will now be a taxable service at 6%, and

In case you missed the highlight of the motoring world this week, the all-new (FL5) Honda Civic Type R has been unleashed for the Malaysian market at a slightly gulp-inducing price of RM 399,900. Of course, the price announcement was swiftly followed by complaints - from people who likely were never going to buy it anyway - that at nearly RM 400k, it is just too much for a Honda, regardless if it is the fastest FWD hot hatch on the planet.

The FL5 generation Honda Civic Type R was launched in Malaysia earlier today, priced at RM 399,900. That’s quite a big jump from the previous FK8 generation model, which was last sold at circa RM 330k, but as you know, our 'shrink-git' Ringgit is also no longer what it was. Also, tight supply will keep prices high for quite a while. In Japan, there’s now a 2-year waiting list (it was at one point, up to 4 years) for the FL5 Civic Type R, and Honda dealers in Japan have been asked to stop taking

Some Honda fanboys would give up their mothers for the latest 2023 Honda Civic Type-R FL5, and that’s putting it kindly. Nonetheless, the opportunity to put their money where their mouth is finally here as pictures and videos have sprouted up on social media showing the latest VTEC venture here in Malaysia. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, the cars depicted in the posts have made their way here via recond dealers or the grey import market and not via official channels through Honda Malaysi

Smiles were wide and aplenty as the first batch of owners took delivery of the 2023 Honda Civic Type R in Thailand. “When I heard the news that Honda announced the opening of reservations for the Honda Civic Type R online, I was looking forward because I like this car which is a car that looks even more beautiful because the number of cars is limited. But when I know that I can reserve it, I was excited and happy. Personally, I would bring the Honda Civic Type R to drive during the weekend. It i

The time for the all-new Honda Civic Type-R FL5 to take on the big boys has come and from the initial looks of things, it appears more than ready for the challenge as Honda unveiled the Super GT racecar based on it for the top-tier GT500 class. Honda unveiled the Civic Type R-GT prototype at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January 2023, teasing us of the machine to come. Dubbed the Civic Type R-GT, it’ll replace the current NSX-GT beginning from the 2024 Super GT season. That’s some big tyres to fill gi
