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 is considered a rare item that is worth owning and collecting. This time it is imported by Honda officially, and that creates a lot of confidence for customers,” said Kanit Sihasophon, a young captain who is passionate about motorsports.

His sentiments were echoed by another new owner, Khun Sukrit Nantasorn, a true fan of the Honda Civic Type R, “I grew up with Honda and trust in the Honda brand. I already own a Honda Civic Type R FD2R and enjoy experiencing the performance of driving. When Honda announced the opening of reservations for the Honda Civic Type R FL5 online, I decided to reserve it and was very happy to own it because it was bought directly from Honda. I’m assured there is a warranty and can take the car to the service centre.”

“Better late than never.” Some despise it, others begrudgingly agree with it but he swears by it… much to the chagrin of everyone around him. That unfortunately stems from all of his project cars not running most of the time, which in turn is testament to his questionable decision-making skills in life. A culmination of many wrongs fortunately making a right; much like his project cars on the rare occasions they run, he’s still trying to figure out if another project car is the way to go.
