When we met the previous owner, saw the full Honda history, and inspected the condition, we knew it was the right one.• Interior is immaculate, with particular attention paid to the seat bolsters — often a weak spot on cars with deep bucket seats. On this car, they’re near spotless.• There is only one small cosmetic mark on the rear bumper (see photo), which we’ve chosen to highlight honestly in the listing.As with all our cars, we’ve provided high-res photos showing every angle and any imperfections, no matter how minor.Driving ImpressionsMany performance cars promise the world but leave you wanting more once the novelty wears off. The FK8 is the exact opposite.From the moment you sink into the sculpted bucket seat, everything feels just right — the perfectly placed pedals, the weighty yet precise steering, and the short, metallic gear throw that delivers one of the most satisfying shifts of any road car on sale.The rev-matching downshifts are a joy on twisty B-roads, while the supple but firm suspension and near-flawless damping make this one of the few 300+ bhp FWD cars that never feels overwhelmed by its own performance. It just grips, turns, and goes — with zero drama and all the involvement.There’s a reason why seasoned journalist John Barker called it "the 911 GT3 of hot hatches" — it’s just that good.SummaryIf you're looking for a Civic Type R FK8 with A full Honda main dealer service history, consistent ownership and fantastic condition both inside and out…then this is the one to shortlist.It's not just a car you buy — it's one you go out of your way to drive, even if you have nowhere to be.
