===Used Cars (GT7)===
Many different models of Honda Civic have proved popular over the years. But when it comes to sheer driving pleasure, this EK Type R is hard to beat. Its super high-torque, naturally aspirated VTEC engine is one of Honda's greatest achievements. The displacement was only 1.6L, but it packed an incredible 182.4 BHP of power! Even the way the engine turned over was amazing—sharp and light, almost like a sports bike! The lightweight body and low height make this a model that handles beautifully.

This particular car foreshadows the appearance of the Spoon CIVIC TYPE R (EK) '00 in the later games of the series, due to the black hood. Also, one of the available color schemes on this special colored car is Yellow, much like the Spoon CIVIC TYPE R (EK) '00. It also bears a resemblance to the Todo School Spoon Civic Type R demo car from Initial D.
