    Our most recent review of the 2021 Honda Civic resulted in a score of 8.3 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Head of Editorial Justin Hilliard had this to say at the time: The Type R is a real joy to drive. Unlike some other hot hatches, it’s genuinely capable of being a comfortable cruiser or a ferocious feline at the flick of a switch.

    Honda Civic 2021 FAQs

    Is the 2021 Toyota Corolla air conditioning system reliable?

    The CVT you’re referring to is actually the car’s transmission rather than its engine. And since the engine is what drives the air-conditioning compressor, it’s the engine’s power and torque that determines whether the car still drives nicely with the air-conditioning switched on, not whether the transmission is a CVT or any other type.

    But I think I know what you are referring to. And that is how well the car’s engine and its CVT transmission are matched. Sometimes, a transmission can gobble up a fair bit of horsepower and torque and that can take the edge off performance. Throw the switch on the air-conditioning and there’s even more load on the engine, making it feel even less perky. In that sense, I think the Corolla as the newer design would have a more efficient transmission and that could mean that it feels the load less than the older Honda might and, therefore, holds on to more of its original performance.

    But the second thing you mentioned, that your car’s air-con doesn’t really keep up at temperatures over 30 degrees is more likely to be a problem with the air-con itself. You might find that a five-year-old car (such as your Honda is) is ready for the air-conditioning system to be serviced and perhaps even re-gassed, which might just return it to better health. For the record, Toyota’s have always had some of the best-performing air-conditioning systems in the business over the years, and I very much doubt that a 30-degree day would tax the air-con in a new Corolla one iota.

    Honda Civic 2021 Boot Space

    The Honda Civic Type R's cargo capacity is 414L, but stow its 60/40 split-fold rear bench using the second row’s manual release latches and an undisclosed amount of extra storage space is created alongside a hump in the boot floor.

    There’s also a tall load lip to contend with, although there are four tie-down points on hand alongside one bag hook. The parcel shelf is retractable, with it stored to one side.
