    Honda made a lot of people happy when they finally brought over the hottest Civic to American shores in 2017. The #HondaCivicTypeR made you rethink your expectations on how a hot hatch should perform. Especially a FWD hot hatch. The #CivicTypeR was so good, that demand exceeded production and continues to do so 3 years later. For 2020, the #TypeR gets minor changes to the look, but bigger changes under the skin that should make this #HotHatch even more formidable on the race track. #Honda will undoubtedly continue to sell as many #Civic Type R's as they can build.

      Type-R was also traditionally been naturally aspirated and now this one is turbo. Watch the next generation ditch the manual and be dual clutch. My point is don't make excuses for the company. I love Honda but this series has so many contradictions. Talk about saving weight and leaving a moon roof out, but then add all the other tech bells and whistles. Red seats in the back don't add extra weight.

    • @Meqanicull
      @Meqanicull 4 года назад +1

      Richard Favreau lol there are so many better cars on the market for 50k, buying a civic at 50k+ is never worth it. I could care less if it’s a Type R, it will be more than 20 years before this car is worth more than 50k if it ever is for how many they are making now 🤷‍♂️ Even 40k to me is a joke, but at least it’s more justifiable than 50k for a civic. On the used market this car is pretty damn compelling, but with dealer markups can’t see a good reason to over pay for a brand new Type R you will lose money regardless

    We will apologize for the exhaust sound. There is a strict restriction on the exhaust sound by law. (under 92db at 3500rpm)
    So many OEM in Japan will set the exhaust sound around 83-86db at 3500rmp to pass the inspection test (every 2 years), and keep it under 90db even if the glass wool wears out over time.
    That is the reason for the exhaust sound being so crappy.

    Over 2 years dailying my 2018, some of my complaints are the ride quality is great on smooth roads, but I live in PA, and more often than not, our roads are definitely not smooth. Also, build quality. I've gotten a number of rattles in the interior, and the exterior paint is VERY prone to chipping.
    Another thing about the power delivery - you want to keep the revs up on this thing because otherwise, at low revs, there's a bit of delay before the turbo boost actually built to rocket the car forward.
    Will say this though - an aftermarket exhaust (which I have on mine) helps with the car's fairly terrible stock exhaust note.

      Planet Earth when I drove it stock for 20,000 miles, I enjoyed/liked it. After I modified it and I’m at 27,000 miles, love it. Stock for stock, type R hands down is a hell of a car. But you rarely use 300+ whp as a daily, so it’s really up to your preference/needs when choosing the vehicle. Given my lifestyle, that is nothing special than being a regular person, I just wanted a daily capable of some fun pulls, use for occasional track days, awd, sun roof, heated front seats, reliable and the wrx was perfect for me. Plus there was no stupid mark up on price. Yes type r is track monster and capable daily, but I live in NYC, doubt it lll be capable of handling snow with all season tires. My wrx pulled through a driveway with an incline in 6+ inches of snow with all season tires when I was vacationing in lake placid in February.

    Good video. From a UK 2018 FK8 owner the infotainment is CRAP (too laggy) but at least you now have a row of buttons down the side. I just do not use mine, it is on BBC Radio 2 and there it stays. I cannot afford the risk of taking my eyes off the road to see where I am touching on the screen. I always have a set of leather driving gloves on, so save marking the wheel and it is just a nicer experience but the wheel buttons are too small and too many. My last car Renaultsport Magane has paddles behind the wheel for volume and mute. We get a better deal over the pond as our engines are quoted at 316HP and I fuel mine with Shell V-Power 99 RON. Can't see me going for a 2020 model, I will just wait. Hopefully the next one will have a larger fuel tank.

      abcdLeeXY in the UK Honda released a spec of the Type R called “Sport Line” with a low profile rear wing, 19-inch wheels and black seats to appeal to buyers put off by the over-the-top styling

    The list of things you want added or changed makes it sound like you want a $40,000+ Civic type R. As if the dealer mark-ups I've heard about aren't bad enough! If I could have it my way I'd be fine without a sunroof (for the exact reason Honda gave you), get rid of the amplified engine sound (I expect Hondas to have a subdued sound... like it's a ninja haha), I'd nix the fabric on the steering wheel, and the "nanny" systems would be axed.

      A type r MSRP plus tax in cali will run you above 40. This is like when people all got excited for the model 3 Sr+ feeling it it's only 35 reading the website.... Nope... It's not just 35. Just like this car is not just an MSRP price (despite the markups). This car does have a price tag that can be expensive with fees and taxes and reg. Which is why I always thought of just getting a sport an then running a hondata....and then I drove the r and was like damn... Let me just throw myself in more debt... Stupid Honda driving experience... Trust me don't drive this car if your on the fence and don't want to throw away money.

    Honda keeps badly outdated infotainment systems in their cars. Big problem in current generation Civic is very low seats. When you are tall you almost feel like sitting on the ground.

Doug said that when car reviewers are invited to press events by a manufacturer, their hotel stay and plane ticket and other expenses are paid for by the car manufacturer who invited them. For example, if you flew to California for a Honda event, Honda would pay for your plane ticket, premium hotel stay etc. Doug on the other hand, insists on paying for his own plane ticket and hotel stay and all his expenses. Doug feels that to let the car manufacturer pay his expenses would make him biased in favor of that manufacturer.

    If the US could only get the Euro model option without the ridiculous wing. Just can't get over the fact that it looks like a full size version of a Hot Wheels toy. Have to admit, though, that I'm somewhat more resigned to its looks than I was a couple of years ago, especially in the matte gray paint job. Good call, by the way, on the error of covering the steering wheel in Alcantara material. A mistake that will become a daily annoyance after a while. Otherwise, a minor issue can sometimes come close to being a deal breaker. For me, or rather for my big dog, it's the absence of rear HVAC vents in a vehicle that is almost certainly going to run $40K. No rear vents, no sale. As far as exhaust sound is concerned I'm closer to being a Tesla type than a Mustang fan. The better the performance and the less the roar, the better I like it.
    Those are all nits, of course. The Type R is an awesome vehicle. But for what amounts to the same price I'll take the Golf R with its classic looks, AWD, more compact dimensions, and more versatile and slightly larger cargo capacity
