Everything you listed is why the car is so true to form and why it’s perfect!! All the money went into the engine, suspension, weight savings…. While still offering bucket seats, led head lights, apple car play, and a Bose sound system I believe. And it looks great! All the things a true car guy wants with a practical everyday sports car, and nothing you don’t need to keep the price down ….so more people can afford it. Next best car that has everything your describing is the Audi RS3 and that’s 25k more. That difference would make the type R unobtainable for most people who buy Honda’s. The car would be to expense and people wouldn’t buy it at 75k. When they can buy an Audi… In conclusion. The Type R is the perfect temperature of the 3 bears story. lots of performance at the price point people can afford at “Honda” prices.
Buddy not to mean or anything but it’s a civic made for the circuit. It’s not a luxury car. If you wanted a more beautiful luxury kinda sport car I’d say wait for the integra type s. The civic type r has always been about driving first. Never creature comforts.
The goal with side mirrors are to have the most visibility mixed with most aero shape with no drag or noise. My 10th gen mirrors interfere with view to front and are crappy and made in China. These are big step up.
Definitely agree with you, the mirrors are for visibility, which is great on the new CTR. I was mainly just referring to the styling of the mirrors, not the functionality.
I agree for a car at that price point. It should have heated seats, lower lumbar support and a heated steering wheel option. I live in Michigan and my 2018 Ford focus ST has all three. My car also has a manual parking brake and still has brake hold assist for when you’re taking off on an incline so they can do it.
Honestly maybe you should’ve waited for the integra type s if you wanted it to be a daily and no mark up! But I agree with the points you make especially the gloss black wing but honestly the integra type s sounds perfect bc cloth seats are better in the cold tbh since I live in Vegas trust especially for heat too
Im glad you understand that I'm not trying to come off like I hate the car, there are just some things that I really dislike and want to change. And yes the Type S might have been the way to go but I had the opportunity to buy the Type R locally and for a decent price so I figured why not. Thanks for understanding what I was trying to convey lol
@@peter_sims hell yeah and you could always trade it in too for the new type s in like three years… but yeah the way you described it just screamed type s 😂 but yeah I wanna get the gray one by the end of the year but I wanna make sure I can spec it out but I doubt it
Great buy! I have #00711. Enjoy it, it’s a dream. But I don’t know why people here are thinking the Acura Integra Type S will be cheaper 😂. If you don’t think there will be a markup, I’ll standby for your reactions.
Thank you! Congrats on 711, great number lol. And I'm sure there will be a markup, this is just the world and market we live in now. Sucks, but it is what it is. Doesn't change a thing complaining about it.
I am sure you also dislike the firm suspension, the brisk acceleration, and the need to inconvenience your left leg an right arm to change gears, not to mention the lacking sunroof and towing-hook. But the parking-brake you would like to pull yourself? Strange. Have you noticed that also the hood extractor, the roof -fin, the side-skirts, the rear diffusor and the front-splitter are all gloss black? Paint them all, or have an arbitrary mix (which wouldn't surprise me, given your taste)? I must wonder about your dealer; did he not have more deserving prospects to allocate this piece of perfection to?
You missed the point of this car with what you don't like. It's a track focused Honda civic and you are complaining about creature comforts. The point of the car was to be light, fast, and agile. You don't need a power liftgate, heated seats, and paint matched pieces for that. Electronic e brakes are in the majority of modern day cars. Take a look at Porsche, one of the biggest track focused brands in the world. This video was not informative on the FL5 nor were the points serious downsides into why not to buy the car.
What, a performance car can't have heated seats? Many agree that black gloss looks cheap. If he thinks the side view mirrors are too large, that's his preference. Respectfully...you sound like a douche.

Peter sims where did you your key fob cover? Can you share a link?
I think I just got it on amazon tbh
The trunk button is for you to be able to open the trunk while keeping the car locked🙃
this man really likes heated seats
I agree w everything u said!!! Especially the eBay wing.
Thank you! You're the first one too haha.
Fyi, you can change the mirror caps to body color and they're $25 a side, they pop out without changing whole mirror, order for a touring grade
Automated hatch on a sports car are we fucking serious here 🤣

To pop the hatch, you have to hold the button down for a couple seconds.
thanks for the tip!
@@peter_sims no problem. Anytime.
Said the same thing about fl5 side mirrors, people called me a hater
Fk8 has slimmer side mirrors and angular too

No one like your ugly junk car
Mirrors are huge, wtf you talking about man
😂

@@chevrolet808 True, I could lol and hopefully you can pick one up this year!

Sounds like you should have waited for the Integra type S
Or Elantra N.
sounds like you should have bought an audi instead of this honda playing dress up as one
Get the Integra Type S and let a real Honda fan have this.
dude is complaining way too much than any wives out there
Maybe you need to adjust the settings on the display. On my Hatchback it locks and unlocks the hatch while keeping all other doors locked.
Sounds like you got a Type R just to be cool. But don't appreciate it.

Dude you should've just got a accord with all the bells and whistles. just let it be! Its a type r 🤷🏻♂️😂

Porsche is reasonably far better looking, with slique supercar shape, and far more presence on the road
Respectfully turn the car in and buy a Hyundai. All that complaining..

Got an idea...I can buy your car and you can get a car with the features you wanted 😉
Buy a mic
I use a Rhodes mic currently, any suggestions on a better one?

Good mirrors 🤣
