    I drive an fn2 type R everyday and the flatness of the chassis is just what makes an R. The cars feel super direct and perfectly controllable. Some people dont like it because the car is stiff, but because of that they are a blast to drive.
    My car is already 15 years old so I can only imagine how the development has continued and how superb this car will handle!

    Honestly this video kind of just irritated me. I attempted to purchase an FK8 back in early 2021. I called around to tens of dealers and finally found a dealership that was getting an extra one for winning some award and would sell at MSRP. They let me know the car was yet to be built but that meant I got to pick the exact color and spec. Well I do all that put down the deposit and begin my wait. I waited 6 months due to UK Covid occasionally shutting down the plant before getting told that the plant was closing for good and my car just never was going to be made. Ok. Not the dealers fault. But the dealer says to make it fair we’ll sell you the first of the next gen we get at MSRP.
    So this car comes out and I remind the dealer of their promise to get me the first of the next gen and my deposit. They proceed to tell me that the first 3 are spoken for but I can get in line! So they expect to hold my deposit for +3 years and maybe then I’ll get one.
    Then all other dealerships are asking absurd markups. Like 30k markups claiming they are only getting a few! Like they were only ever going to get a few. Dealerships are acting like they were ever going to have 30 Type R’s on the lot.
    Sorry rant over. It just pisses me off that I’m 30, have no debt, and can finally afford these things but dealerships decided I can’t. Meanwhile they’ll give their salespeople one at MSRP. Like what bs is that!

      Type R - Fun for street short distance driving and torque
      IS500 - Freeway monster, 50-100 beast
      I kept my Civic for a year, ditched it because even though it was fun it just felt cheap. This car will be the same, it’s a cheap Honda that drives fun. No way in hell I’d buy this at mark up, you’d be an absolute idiot.
      I kept my IS500 for 8 months, sold it because it’s too heavy and the transmission was the worst I’ve had in any car I’ve owned. Well built Toyota quality, not a fun street driver at all.

      That has been the most helpful feedback I have received in a long time.
      I could sell the IS500 once the M2 is out for a bit and get it with a manual.
      That said I am worried about its reliability and I know that the IS will just keep going 🤣.
      I am curious if the transmission can be reprogrammed so that it is more along the lines of LC500's transmission.
      And yes, it is heavy and so is the new M2.
      I considered the new manual Supra because it is light, but with kids I felt guilty doing that.

      @@bcvijasiu As of now no programming options pertaining to the transmission on the IS. The 3rd to 2nd downshift is literally painful, the upshifts are fine but those downshifts during spirited driving are unforgivable.
      You’d have to continue to comb the market for options, most of the IS community considered RS3 or M3 as other options. I went back to a 2 door GTS Porsche, costs more but I missed the brand.

    The integrated tach/speedometer seems hard to read. IMHO, two round guages (one for tach, one for speedometer) might be preferred by some drivers. Also I think that protruding touch screen sticks out too much and may actually intefere with the driver's line of sight.

    I just bought mine yesterday! At 45, I thought I’d be getting into an American V8, but my first Honda was a 2000 Prelude and a buddy of mine had the first generation Si. This is NOT those! I haven’t even driven a manual in 16 years and I just don’t know what to say. Honda built a street legal, FWD race car and it’s pretty amazing!

    The FL5 Type-R is an improvement over the FK8 only visually and interior-wise. Throttlehouse showed us that the FK8 is faster in a straight line (excluding launches) and had better steering. The FE1 Si is also better looking by a mile. I wish they had of just gone and made this a sedan, because it's so close already. Instead, it just looks SO ugly from behind with the hatch.
