John Cena has proven he knows his cars by revealing his daily driver, and it isn’t a Bugatti or a Lamborghini.
The former WWE star has always been passionate about cars and has amassed quite an impressive collection over the years, featuring a range of American muscle cars and exotic supercars.
However, when it comes to daily driving, Cena prefers to take a lower profile and drive around in something a bit more mundane and everyday.
As it turns out, the wrestling star likes to drive around in a Honda Civic Type R when he isn’t using a Plymouth Superbird.

Why John Cena drives a Honda Civic Type R
Cena actually bought a 2024 Honda Civic Type R almost by accident.
A year ago, he posted that he took his 2021 Civic Type R in for a service.
It was during that visit that he saw the 2024 car.
Falling in love with the new model, he bought it and decided his old one could go to a new home.
Cena does do some work for Honda, being the voice of some of its commercials.
What a day! Brought my ‘21 Civic Type R in for service and saw brand new @Honda ‘24 Type R and fell in love! Thanks to the folks @WC_Honda for all the help and some more horsepower! For those asking.. yes my ‘21 Boost Blue Civic is there now and looking for a new home 👀 pic.twitter.com/SvVhGtnH4o

But his fondness for the brand clearly goes beyond his simple working relationship.
Cena has said in the past that the Civic is his daily driver because it’s reliable, it’s a manual, and it has tech.
Plus, he can actually pick people up in it.
“If you’ve got a purse in a Countach, you’re screwed,” He said on a podcast with Andrew Santino.
What cars does Cena have in his collection?
It won’t come as a surprise to learn Cena has quite an extensive car collection.
The oldest car he owns is actually a 1969 MGC GT sports car, based on the MGB.
Cena has had his version of the British sports car modified.
Instead of an inline-six, it has a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 under the hood.
The wrestling star also has a love of Italian supercars.
A 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is another highlight of the collection.
Cena also once owned a gorgeous Lamborghini Countach, which was a 25th Anniversary model in Nero black.
It is quite incredible just how varied the wrestler’s collection his.
But it is just as amazing to learn that a Honda Civic Type R is his daily driver.
