Aug 08, 2017 | Same topic: Highlights of the week

The much-awaited Honda Civic Type R is now ready for reservation with only 100 units. Not lucky enough to book one? Here are the best alternatives: the Mazda MX-5, the Volkswagen Golf GTI and the Peugeot 208 GTi.

Only a few weeks ago, Honda Cars Philippines announced that the all-new Honda Civic Type R is ready for bookings in our country.

Our wishes come true. The car God has surely listened to our prayers, then decided to bestow a reward on those who’ve been waiting for this moment all year long. Guys, brace yourselves, the all-new Civic Type R is finally here.

However, only 100 units of 2017 Honda Civic Type R are available for bookings in the Philippines, which means, if you are not lucky enough, you might not have a chance to own this hot car.

That is why Philkotse would like to suggest you with three promising alternatives, namely the Mazda MX-5, the Volkswagen Golf GTI and the Peugeot 208 GTi. The brand-new Mazda MX-5 provides the greatest comfort of open-top driving to an ever-widening audience with one-of-a-kind fastback styling. But if you are leaning more toward to a German or French car brand, we also have the Volkswagen Golf GTI and the Peugeot 208 GTi out there.
