Intro
Hot hatchbacks have a tougher balancing act to pull off than most performance cars. They've obviously got to be quick and they need to be seen to be quick - image and reputation being vital in this market - but they must also appeal to a wide audience. Honda Type-R enthusiasts were appalled when the fastest version of the eighth generation Civic was unveiled and the manufacturer freely admitted it was more refined, easier to use and not much faster than the previous model. Was Honda selling out, chasing mass appeal at the expense of the hardcore Type-R customer base? They needn't have worried.
