The 2023 Honda Civic Type R is the latest in a long-line of ultimate Civics, building on its predecessor with improved performance (especially in terms of its chassis) and a classier, more restrained look. The 2023 Toyota GR Corolla, meanwhile, is basically a Skunkworks project that looks like a Corolla but drives like a completely different car, complete with a growling turbocharged three-cylinder and clever, three-mode GR Four all-wheel-drive system. They are similar on paper (four-door hatchbacks with 300-plus horsepower), but as Autoblog Senior Editor James Riswick and Contributing Writer Mark Takahashi discover in this comparison test, they are surprisingly and delightfully different when driven back to back. Which is better and which would you take home? Watch and let us know.
