Utility and Style
Not everyone can afford to bring home a Civic Type R, and some folks simply need a vehicle that provides a bit more utility, anyway. For them, the Civic hatchback provides a fun, sporty machine with loads of practicality. And now, thanks to legendary parts maker Mugen, Civic hatch owners can also add a bit of style to their rides that rivals that of the Type R, too.
