When comparing the Honda Civic Type R and the 2020 Toyota GR Supra, it can be helpful to have the right resources at your disposal. That’s why our team here at Norm Reeves Honda Superstore Vista has created this guide for our drivers around Carlsbad, Vista, and Escondido, California. Contact us with any questions!

The Civic Type R and the GR Supra are both high-performance sports cars–and that means that drivers will want to go as fast as local speed limits allow while they’re behind the wheel. That raises the question of which safety systems will help to protect you as you’re pursuing this adventure behind the wheel. Well, in the 2020 Civic Type R, you’ll have standard Honda Sensing® keeping you safe from it all out there:
Fortunately, the GR Supra includes comparable technologies like its own pre-collision system, lane departure warning, and others; unfortunately, it doesn’t include a Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM), which means that you won’t have that extra little bit of help if you start to drift off of the highway.
The 2020 Civic Type R also eclipses the 2020 GR Supra when it comes to technology. How so? Well, we’ll start with the good news. Both of these cars offer Apple CarPlay®, which allows you to integrate many of your compatible iPhone’s applications into your daily driving experience: Texts messages, phone calls, and more.
But now for the bad news–not everybody on the road has (or wants!) an iPhone, and the Honda Civic Type R offers support for Android integration via Android Auto™ whereas the Toyota GR Supra doesn’t.

Last, but certainly not least, the Honda Civic Type R and the Toyota GR Supra are both the types of sports cars that anybody would look great in driving around the streets of Escondido, Carlsbad, and Vista, CA. But, as a racing-inspired model, the 2020 Civic Type R has bolder exterior color options: Boost Blue Pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, Rallye Red, and more. Compare these to the more subdued hues of the 2020 GR Supra, which include Tungsten, Turbulence Gray, and others. Discover what we’ve got in stock!
