Performance and Driving
The EK9 Civic Type R is considered by many enthusiasts to be the definitive analogue Honda performance car.
Powered by the hand ported B16B engine producing around 185PS from just 1.6 litres, the EK9 delivers one of the most engaging naturally aspirated driving experiences ever created. Lightweight construction, close ratio gearing and razor sharp steering combine to create a car that still feels incredibly alive and responsive even by modern standards.
With values continuing to rise globally, the EK9 has firmly established itself as one of the most important collectible JDM performance cars of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
