<em>Fast and Furious</em> actor and WWE superstar John Cena reveals he daily drives a 2020 Honda Civic Type R

After making his first appearance in the Fast & Furious franchise as Jakob Toretto in 2021’s F9, John Cena will reprise his role as Dominic Toretto’s younger brother in the upcoming Fast X, which is scheduled to be released this May.

Given his status as a WWE superstar and Hollywood celebrity, Cena has been fortunate enough to own several cars. According to various reports, his collection includes a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Plymouth Road Runner Superbird, Buick GSX, Ford GT, Dodge Charger, Lamborghini Countach and even a Jeep Wrangler that was purchased with his first WWE pay cheque.

It’s safe to say Cena is a bit of a car enthusiast, and this notion was reinforced when he appeared on the Whiskey Ginger with Andrew Santino podcast recently, where he revealed his daily driver to be a Honda Civic Type R in Boost Blue.

“My daily driver is a Civic Type R. It’s got tech, it’s manual, it’s reliable,” Cena said. “It’s a 2020 [model year] and it’s got a third pedal. At 145 [mph] it’s stable, like, it goes. It’s got seats in the back, I can actually pick people up,” Cena said during the interview.

“If you have a purse in a Countach, you’re screwed,” Cena goes on the say. “They’re a little bit rough around the edges. The clutch is a dogfight and it’s really tough to get those things running right. So, if I actually need to drive a car on a distance that’s more than 10 miles, it’s the Civic,” he added. There you have it, the Doctor of Thuganomics daily drives a Civic Type R, and you can watch the entire interview in the video posted below (the Civic Type R mention is at the 1:09:40 mark).

    Good choice, instead of choosing car like Golf GTi

      As the GTI goes 155mph, it’s good that an actor like Crena purchased the slower Civic, you’re right. The GTI would be too much for him.

      • GTi is quite boring without any stick in it.
        Yet it is not very fast compared to AWD rivals.

  • Wonder why he’s not driving a Geely or Hongqi given his boot licking attitude towards China.

      And you have an issue because? Do you know that every piece of electronic that you use have components made in China? The phone or the laptop you use to send this reply has China made components. Please, burn them and use paper and pencil to write. Oh wait, paper was invented by China. Use a chisel and wooden block.

      BTW, I believe every car has some China made components too. Likewise for bikes. Please start walking.

        This is exactly same attitude with those people who say “Cina back China”

        Yea don’t use anything from China please, go home open up any electronic appliances, washing machine TV etc, see if there’s anything from China, throw it away.

        We should be thankful for that and surrender the south china sea completely to China as they wish. Asia will only flourish under the loving command of China.

    233kmph is not very high speed for a Type R for it being stable. even a BMW 320i can do 235 kmph in standard form.

        D-CTV as in the 4 star Axia is currently the best gearbox on earth. Forget manuals and forget BMW.

      And u r driving New Axia to comment on this ?

      Malaysia road is not meant for race, get BMW320i and Type R to Sepang circuit and who win the race. Both cara has different usage, please get the fact right. Not everyone drive Type R to race and not everyone drive slow in an Axia

          WOW SO ATAS WITH THE CIVIC FC TURBO AND SO PROUD OF IT

          Good for you son, life moves on, driving an Axia doesn’t make the person low, but driving a civic FC turbo and calling Axia low, is a terrible low class people

            well, it still doesn’t change the fact that still not many people can afford a civic. in fact some cannot even afford a city. what more afford to buy cars that are more expensive than a normal Honda or Toyota. That’s why axia is there for a reason to cater to this market.

    “At 145 [mph] it’s stable, like, it goes.”
    And how he knows that? In the USA there are speed limits ranging from 55 to max. 80mph?
