Volkswagen came onto the hot hatch scene a bit sooner than Honda but as the performance needle continues to move further up the ladder it has forced both companies to offer the most potent version of each economy hatchback. Here in America, we’ve had the #GolfR for nearly a decade while Honda dragged their feet until 2017 when the hottest Civic came to market in the form of the #CivicTypeR. Both #HotHatch offer 2.0L #Turbocharged engines with a standard 6-speed manual transmission. The #Volkswagen offers #4Motion AWD while the #Honda is only FWD. While the #TypeR looks a bit too over the top, some would criticize the #VWGolfR for looking too plain. Today, we find out which one is actually the best.
