Hot hatch showdown: Honda Civic Type R vs. Toyota GR Corolla.
By the time we wheeled into Globe, the white stuff fell at a pelt. I watched the Honda pull to a stop in the town’s historic center. Its fair-weather Michelins fluttered across skiffs of fresh powder. We three editors stepped out of the cars, kicked at the Corolla’s equally summer-centric tires, and shoved cold hands into pockets.“Yeah, let’s head back,” editor-at-large Travis Okulski replied.Doubling back meant more seat time in two of the best compact performance vehicles ever built.
Toyota offers sharp, well-calibrated inputs for the GR Corolla’s steering, shifting, and pedals. But the Honda is just a touch better to use in every department: more precise, better weighted, and easier to master. Don’t mistake that as damning to the Corolla. That would be unduly harsh. The pedals on the Corolla may sit just a touch too close together. The Honda’s are perfectly placed. The leather wrapped around the Corolla’s wheel feels a touch cheap. The Honda’s leather feels a cut above. We rejoice at the opportunity to row our own gears between the Corolla’s seats. You feel a chunky, affirmativeseparating each slot along the GR shifter’s path.
The Honda’s two-liter seems to develop more power up top; it arrives in one great walloping rush near the top of the tach. But other than a bit of extrafrom the turbo, there’s little audible feedback. We wonder aloud how a naturally aspirated version of the CTR's K20 engine, built to 300 horses by the magicians at 4-Piston racing, would feel and sound in this Civic Type R.
