In the great argument of ‘which is the best Honda Civic Type R ever?’, there are really only two contenders: the decade-old Honda Civic FD2 Type R and the latest Honda Civic FK8 Type R. The Honda Civic FD2 Type R can be had anywhere from RM100k to RM150k on the used car market these days, which makes them almost half the price of current one. Is this 10-year-old fire-breathing Honda Civic still worth it these days?
