honda civic sound deadening

Hatches are slowly and quietly disappearing from car lineups in most brands sold in Australia. And rarely will you see one making the top 10 sales charts. Thank utes and SUVs for changing Australia’s motoring tastes and the car landscape all within a matter of a few years. Die-hard motoring fans though are still holding onto their hot or warm hatches, as an alternative to the hordes of high-sitting, petrol-guzzling monstrosities. The Honda Civic Type R sits fair and square with the likes of the Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Hyundai i30N, the VW Golf GTi and any souped-up and turbocharged 4-cylinder rocket pumping close to 300bhp to the front wheels.
