We love a fast Honda here at CarBuzz – and the Honda Civic Type R is a shining example of what a performance hatchback should be. The engine features a longstanding Honda technology, called Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control, or simply, VTEC. This helps it stay both efficient and powerful when you need it to be. You have probably heard of this technology in games or culture, but not many people actually know how it works and what it does.
