From The Late Brake Show.
Driving the Greatest FWD Hot Hatch the Week Before It Dies. In this episode Jonny Smith says farewell to what could be the very last Civic Type R. The FL5. With the days of hot hatches possibly numbered (certainly numbered without hybridisation), Jonny enjoys getting under the skin of Honda’s finest offering. But IS it the finest offering on planet fwd?
