Acura Type S
Fans love the Civic Type R for its handling, balance, and power. But recently, Honda introduced a better, more mature car – the 2024 Acura Type S. With the same basic mechanics, Acura offers a more upscale interior, more interior space, and the same fantastic performance. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is both torquey and high-revving, providing the driver with 320 hp sent to the front wheels (via Acura).
This layout somewhat limits the acceleration figures to 5.1 seconds to 60 mph. However, it also keeps the overall weight down, allows the Honda’s engineers to fiddle with the balance, braking, and suspension, and produces a neutral but precise car that is easy to drive fast. Skillful drivers will always notice that heavy AWD system.
