How it drives
Front-wheel drive keeps the Civis Type-R EK9 stable and easy to place. It pulls itself out of corners instead of sliding, but it pushes wide if you carry too much speed into a turn.
Handling is its best area, though only mid-pack at No. 38 of 89, so it is most at home on tight, technical circuits.

How to tune it
Top speed is its weakest area (No. 74 of 89), so put the first upgrades into power to raise its ceiling on the straights, then balance the rest to the circuit you race most.
