Honda JDM Civic Type R

The JDM Civic Type R's cockpit is all business. "Honda R-spec" seats (which look an awful lot like the EK's Recaros) keep the front occupants in place while extra side bolsters on the rear bench keep back seat passengers from flying all over the place while running the C1 loop. The Civic Type R keeps the "love-it-or-hate-it" two-tiered dash; we love it, so we're glad it's staying. Rounding out the Type R package is a push-button starter, navigation screen delete and drilled aluminum pedals. Civic R buyers can opt for the black and red interior color scheme or the more subdued all-black interior. We'd opt for "all black", but that's just 'cause everyone we know with Type R-red Recaros have had their cars stolen...
