<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The FL5 is the hot hatch of the moment! The latest incarnation of Civic Type R is touted as the greatest yet…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since its release it has smashed FWD records at Suzuka and the Nürburgring, plus has glowing five star reviews from pretty much every motoring journalist that’s got behind the wheel.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s the current king of the hot hatch world and we don’t see that changing any time soon.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Available in the showroom we have this Rallye Red (R-513) Honda Civic Type R (FL5) with 6,943 miles on the clock. A close to stock example with the exception of the following upgrades…<br><br></span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br>This is Honda at its absolute best, a masterclass in engineering! If you want an engaging driving experience look no further. The powertrain and chassis is a match made in heaven. Also in this day and age, the only option is a 6 speed manual, which is a true indication of Honda’s ethos and intentions..</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Compared to the FK8 which had a marmite look for many, the FL5’s design is </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">cleaner with an overall more classy silhouette. The more upmarket design continues with the interior, with a far more luxurious feel compared to the FK8. However, Honda has intentionally kept it very driver focused, including an exceptional set of Type R bucket seats.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Honda’s strive to continuously improve shows with the FL5. Instead of a complete overhaul, they’ve taken the FK8 (A fantastic platform) and continued to develop.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now for the nerdy numbers… </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The FL5 uses the same </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">K20C1 engine as the FK8, running 324 bhp and 310 lb-ft (8bhp and 15 lb-ft more than the FK8). The 2.0 litre unit is now more impressive than ever!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s an 18% lighter flywheel, reducing inertia off the end of the engine by 25% which makes the car noticeably more responsive.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other upgrades include an exhaust flow rate which is up 13%, the steering column now has a larger torsion bar reducing deflections by 60%, revised lower suspension arms improve camber rigidity by 16%, rear body rigidity is up 15% and a switch from steel to aluminium for the bonnet accounts for a 43% weight saving.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Honda’s attention to detail is second to none. They’ve even added a heavier 230g gear knob to create an absolutely sensational gear change - it's peerless.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you really care about driving, this is the hot hatch for you!</span></p>
