this car is for people that are not scared to be seen on the road.. Honda got the point.. if you drive it, you love it, and you fall in love forgetting what is looks like.. and for people that prefer a golf r that looks the same from 70's.. how can they speak about design?
Enjoy the reactions of others when you're in it. Every kid that tries to get their parent to look is a marvellous thing.. You know it's quiet enough that people don't throw themselves on the ground because they think a gun is going off and loud enough that you know what is going on. The looks are great and I know you still want Scalextric. This Scalextric will carry 2.5m lengths of timber, 4 people with 3 of them sleeping and still thrash anything in or near its price on the road or track. Love the looks. They appeal to your inner kid and that kid deserves it. Anyway, I was trying to comment on every FK8 video on RUclips. It was utter madness but it was fun for a bit :) This might be the last one, so thank you for a nice video and embrace your inner Scalextric.
"yes, we need more boring, normal, responsible looking cars" seems to about sum up the comments from The Hive. And for them, I say (to quote Dickens, sort of) "Are there no cubicles? Are there no prisons? No workhouses? Let them drive Golf R's, I say!"
I would love to own this car but I'd be so embarrassed about people laughing at the exterior. Even if I started to like the design, it wouldn't change the public opinion.
The front looks brillant and the back is the opposite. The performance is perfect and the exhaust is less so. I think it's far from perfect, but it really isn't.
I think here can only have a say in the driving of this car. Grandios in the very sporty mode, The torture at hit-hole-strewn side roads. Nevertheless: Very difficult to top in this price range, for what this type R was made. Thanks Honda
despite the sound of the exhaust I still think they look great I mean c'mon 3 exhaust you don't see that everyday. This is indeed one of the most hardcore hot hatches and I can live with it everyday.
This car is meant for people aged 18-24 but we cant afford it. I'd take this over the golf, but how many people with families would take this over the golf ? Really Honda should have been more subtle at the rear to appeal to a wider target market
Love the front of the car, but that back.... Totally horrible. You spending a good R620 000 to get a car that sounds like a vacuum so now you have to splurge on a custom exhaust system which is extra cash spent. That price can also like a few people said can get you a an A45 AMG. Maybe not the latest model, but definitely not an old one either. I agree with everything Ciro says about the car. Personally I cant see myself buying this for that sort of cash.
for something different in the hatchback pot this is the thing to get i would maybe just put a custom single outlet powerflow exhaust to give it some sound... When will you guys do like a cars.co.za budget build or something of the like?
weres the laptime?... everyone that likes cars already knows what this car is about . .(gigs of reviews online about it already ) the looks are not for everyone, & so what if some people dont like it, then go buy something else... the local fk8 is detuned from 235kw to 228kw.. (its not more than the previous model) the local fk2 (more rare) version is supposed to be 228kw.. but local dyno figures across SA have proved the fk2 to make much much higher figures. this car is the best bang for buck right now and with a 5 year 200000kms warranty .. it makes it a much better deal than other fwd performance cars on sale
I think the exterior look is suppose to be a big "fuck you" to conservative car designers at VW that churn out boring looking cars like the polo or golf
Hardcore hatch with manual transmission you would expect a manual handbrake especially with front wheel drive. Helps to flick it into tight corners better with manual handbrake than electronic handbrake, if that's even possible.
I am sure its a good car and fun to drive. But the looks are hideous, and will only get worse with time. If I arrive at work in this I will never hear the end of the jokes. A45, Rs3, Golf R and Focus Rs blend more easily into daily life. For R627 000 I would have a 135I or Focus Rs all day long.

My favourite FWD car on the market!
Why cant stand the looks but want a loud exhaust? Am i the only one who love the way this car looks?
this car is for people that are not scared to be seen on the road.. Honda got the point..

and for people that prefer a golf r that looks the same from 70's.. how can they speak about design?
I love the back! Think its perfect, its mean and sporty. Love the overall look of the car.

Car journalists of the Year!!!! Continue with the awesome work dude .
brilliant review and agree I don't want to like it, but I DO!!!!!
I love how it looks.
I keep imagining someone stepping out of the type R to be wearing a crash helmet and a racing suit...
Hate the looks of this and the vacuum exhaust sound. Damn you are a great reviewer. Loved this video
The car is sick
My only issue with its radical looks is the rear end but overall a great car ,I love it
Not gonna lie I like how it looks
Ok rear is over the top! But front is awesome, menacing! Lights are superb!
I understand you are having an intimate relationship with the gearbox, but the question is "'o jele nah"'?
honda civic 😘😘😘best front wheeler ever
that OzzyMan Reviews plug
what a guy Ciro, What a champion

Amen
It looks amazing!!
Nice car. It's Japanese and obviously reliable. I love it even though it has uninspiring exhaust note
I would love to own this car but I'd be so embarrassed about people laughing at the exterior. Even if I started to like the design, it wouldn't change the public opinion.
Woo love your videos
An on-track review is definitely needed.
The front looks brillant and the back is the opposite. The performance is perfect and the exhaust is less so. I think it's far from perfect, but it really isn't.
its a once in a life time car 30 years from now people will still recognize the fk8 .
the wheels look to inner should be a little outer on the fenders but good car
Loved this review, well done. The looks won't appeal to the average South African, but I think in their home market it does.
I think here can only have a say in the driving of this car. Grandios in the very sporty mode, The torture at hit-hole-strewn side roads. Nevertheless: Very difficult to top in this price range, for what this type R was made. Thanks Honda
Totally agree with you
despite the sound of the exhaust I still think they look great I mean c'mon 3 exhaust you don't see that everyday. This is indeed one of the most hardcore hot hatches and I can live with it everyday.
Driving Vin Diesels wet dream 😂😂😂😂
Well done Ciro! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love the car, enjoyed the video...
Great review as always...
Ozzy man for the win!!!
This car is meant for people aged 18-24 but we cant afford it. I'd take this over the golf, but how many people with families would take this over the golf ? Really Honda should have been more subtle at the rear to appeal to a wider target market
Insurance at that age for that car would be around 2-3k a month
"Intimate relationship with the knob" Gear knob.
Great personality, great review as usual. Thank you. More like this, please.
Love the review m8! 🤣👍
Great car in a great colour.
Love the front of the car, but that back.... Totally horrible. You spending a good R620 000 to get a car that sounds like a vacuum so now you have to splurge on a custom exhaust system which is extra cash spent. That price can also like a few people said can get you a an A45 AMG. Maybe not the latest model, but definitely not an old one either. I agree with everything Ciro says about the car. Personally I cant see myself buying this for that sort of cash.
Are you serious ciro? The shape is what makes this car stand out from the rest of the boring lot.
Hahahaha Ciro that ending had me in stitches!
Anyway...
The civic type-r is a car for boys,not men
Great review
you are so funny, i enjoy your presentations..you are a good one,lol just one lady saying hi will do
You're spot on mate, it's so ridiculous looking it is hard to take seriously. It's like some cheap toy car.
Is it just me or was the exhaust note inspired by a hairdryer??
Sami Khan So true!
Thks.
Where's that road?!
Franschhoek Pass, the R45 to the east of it.
this is nice
R-05578, nice!
for something different in the hatchback pot this is the thing to get i would maybe just put a custom single outlet powerflow exhaust to give it some sound... When will you guys do like a cars.co.za budget build or something of the like?
Is this mountain pass in video in cape town?
Megane RS looks better, but I'm sure this will feel better to drive. But at 600k as someone mentioned below, I'll get a Merc instead.
1:44 it's meant to be pre-riced
Popcorn ...CHECK!...Drink...CHECK!...new Cars.co.za....CHECK! Today’s a good day
in canada msrp is equivalent to 430000 rand
if only the sound would match its over the top aggressive look
It's an allrounder
Awesome review, except the knob thing...it's old.
Waiting for the Megane RS
shame about the new one
Anybody know where this road is?
the ending lol
weres the laptime?...
everyone that likes cars already knows what this car is about .
.(gigs of reviews online about it already )
the looks are not for everyone, & so what if some people dont like it, then go buy something else...
the local fk8 is detuned from 235kw to 228kw.. (its not more than the previous model)
the local fk2 (more rare) version is supposed to be 228kw.. but local dyno figures across SA have proved the fk2 to make much much higher figures.
this car is the best bang for buck right now and with a 5 year 200000kms warranty .. it makes it a much better deal than other fwd performance cars on sale
I'd like a i30 N
Cool 😎..... I don’t like electronic Park brake
Can Ciro review the GT86 🙏🙏🙏
weres the lap?
I think the exterior look is suppose to be a big "fuck you" to conservative car designers at VW that churn out boring looking cars like the polo or golf
do you know the paint code for this model? please
NH-0
cars.co.za please do a review of the Giuletta Veloce
even the number plate is a mess, it had two GP's 🙄
Yea I hate they went boy racer with the look :(
Why not make Honda civic type R with 10 speed automatic transmission
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lmao on "Vin Diesel's wet dream"
Just out of curiosity, why do you not like the electronic handbrake?
Hardcore hatch with manual transmission you would expect a manual handbrake especially with front wheel drive. Helps to flick it into tight corners better with manual handbrake than electronic handbrake, if that's even possible.
Yeah boring VW fans WONT get the type r design 😐
Jimmy Kimmel twin!!!
Looks like robot. Japanese currently likes to design their own car like robot. Transformer let's say...
Buy it in Black you will see less details
100
what R620 000! goodbye I'm going to Mercedes
😂
The rear just messed this car up. Three exhausts like really
That is one ugly m@f@ car. No doubt it's very good and quick and all, but Honda should hire some designers who actually have eyes.
Peter Parker that’s true , that body kit is so terribly looking
So capable car 10/10 on performance! 0/10 how it looks..it looks like designd by 2 years old kid
Out of a 100 comments 4 likes no sub just for lack of feed back to you're subs 😐
I am sure its a good car and fun to drive. But the looks are hideous, and will only get worse with time. If I arrive at work in this I will never hear the end of the jokes. A45, Rs3, Golf R and Focus Rs blend more easily into daily life. For R627 000 I would have a 135I or Focus Rs all day long.

Can i have the Golf R please...Thank you.
You obv like living the boring life....still want a golf?
