Nah am 41 I got the championship white and I love every angle.. I dont think this car is for this guy lol.. I already invested some money on my 2019 type r titan wheels, prl intake, oem visors window tint, clear coated, awe exhaust, and carbon fiber hood scoop.. The car drives awesome love it
From a 45 year old owner... congratulations on an awesome purchase... don't let the hater distract you from the greatness of this car...so many are still copying Honda.
Congrats on your new Honda Civic Type R! It is an AMAZING car and definitely an awesome driver's car. I am a proud owner of a 2019 Honda Civic Type R and it is not only one of the best cars I have ever owned, it is one of the best cars I have ever driven. Welcome to the club! BTW one of the hardest things for me was breaking in the car and not pushing it for the first 600 miles because she wants to run! Definitely a necessary evil if you plan on keeping the car for a while and a good reason to get one new if possible because if you buy used there is no guarantee the previous owner bothered to break in the engine properly.
I traded in my 15 WRX about 3 months ago and switched out to a 18 Type R. I've been in love with it since day one. Its awesome to see another person go from a WRX to a Type R as well.
I’ve got an 18 rex myself and almost got an r before it but everybody had markup on em. What’s your take on the clutch engagement? Same as the vid or diff? Thanks in advance!
I never really had any issues with the clutch engagement. The only difference to myself anyway is just the overall feel is night and day. The WRX had a "heavier" feeling clutch pedal that felt like it took more effort to press in where as the Type R has a much "softer" pedal and i felt that threw me off a little when I initially started driving it.
@@Drogas3653 Just got back from driving the Type R and you can do what you want with your money but every time I drive the this car I am reminded this was money well spent. Picked up some food for the family and there just happened to be a car meet in the same parking lot and the Type R fit right in as if I planned to be there. It got some serious respect from the other car guys.
That is a beauty!! That black looks incredible! I bought a 2019 Sonic Gray Pearl TypeR in April of 2019!! I have only put 6000 miles on mine in 2 years and have loved every mile !! I am sure you will love it the more you put miles on it!! Keep up the incredible content!! I look forward to seeing more of your videos!!
Had mine for almost 2 years now and I love it! I also came from a 18 WRX and honestly I wouldn't go back. I also use my R for winter and honestly no problems at all, I use studded tires and it doesn't need them at all haha
Just stumbled across your channel! Great work, keep it up. Congrats on the new whip! I haven't driven the Type R yet, but the clutch friction zone sounds similar to some Mini Cooper S and Cobalt SS I've driven.
I agree with you 100% on how good this car rides over bumps. I was blown away . I'm coming from a Evo X that I daily drove for 7 years. Then going to the type R. It was night and day how smooth the civic rides in comparison.
Keen to see how you go with the TypeR. From AWD to FWD is significant, especially in winter conditions. The rear of the car design is way too hectic for my tastes but black tones it down thankfully. Honda Civic = Luxury, spoken like a true WRX owner. I've got one too, a MY2018 premium, and whilst it's ok, it's nothing to fall in love with. Hope you enjoy the new car!
In many ways front wheel drive in a car is better if you understand how to use it. AWD will help if you are stuck, but have AWD vehicles and love them and have 2029 type R version and 2020 Accord Sport 2.0T and drive them winter in northern Ontario Canada with Nokian winter tires
@@RelaxAndSmokeMeth no it was 5 grand over sticker ... made it 43,499.95...... well worth the money. Love ❤️ how it drives and looks. This is only thing. If you have never sat in one the seats are a really tight fit for a bigger guy. I fit and I’m snug in seat. What I’m saying if ur wide in the rear those seats won’t be comfortable for that person.
@@FATmenDRIVEtrucks I tell you what. Well if u were able to get a dealer to give you a new one for sticker in the color you wanted you did good. I called all over the United States. Some dealers wanted even more above sticker than 5 grand. Oh well I have a new rallye red one and I love it. Got to step up to the plate if you want to run with the big dogs or stay on the porch. Lol 😂
Crazy! Just traded my 16 STI with 90k miles on it last week. I wanted a red or black CTR but they only had white on the lot. Other dealers are marking up 5-10k MSRP. But I got mine for 1k over MSRP but has 20y/200k miles warranty included which I think made the markup worth it. The suspension on this car is almost luxury, complete opposite of the STI. Also the turbo pulls so much earlier. I do miss my STI so much tho, the rumble and pops. Drove the CTR off the showroom with 7 miles on it and now 300 more til I finish the break in. Congrats on the car!
Saw this a little late, but wanted to say congrats! I came from a 2015 WRX as well. Both cars are great, but the Type R is a night and day difference, you can't even compare the two haha. Welcome to the R club!!
Every time I consider getting an SUV after driving small/sporty cars my whole life, I see videos like this that instantly change my mind. Congrats man! One of my dream cars for sure.
Coming from a daily S2000 for over 15 years I have to say I do really like the Type R. It's as fun as the S2000 and I'm glad I made this desicion. 👍 I got a white one. Loving it.
I like the stock rims on my Type R and was so worried about potholes with the stock rubber band tires that I bought the wheel protection plan from the dealership. I recently bought some thicker 255/35/20 all season tires and man they feel way better. It's a cheaper alternative to getting new tire/rim combo. Just my $0.02. Plus they look better with the wheel gap closed up a little. No rubbing issues what so ever.
I second this I switched to 255/35 all season / performance tires for the stock wheels. and they are awesome. I switched to different size tire because with the stock tires I got 2 bent rims within 4 months. So I got the rims fixed and went with bigger tires.
Just bought a black 21' CTR 2 weeks (and 450 miles ago) and stumbled on this review. Damn near spot on for me, except don't notice the clutch takeup point issue. Great job! Not sure this car gets a fair shake as most of my car buddies can't get past the looks or some the FWD platform. Will enjoy letting them drive it, as that is where you fall for this car.
Nice! I also went from a WRX to a black Type R and had a Z before as well. Absolutely love the Type R, especially the suspension and shifter coming from the WRX. I only use +R mode on the track and don’t mind the heavier steering. Also went down to 19” wheels with a 255 tire and better looking offset (+45). The 20’s were a bit ridiculous and a bit sunken in for my taste. Enjoy the car, just gained a new subscriber here!
I’ve owned a WRX since ‘02. Looking at buying a car this year. For me the styling is a little over the top. Saw that Honda introduced a sport version in Europe that doesn’t have the huge rear wing and comes with 19” wheels. Went from YES to WHAT when I saw it was $2700. Am I the only person that thinks that the steering wheel might get grimy over time? The black does tone down the CTR.
I agree front angle much better than rear! I usually think that these cars are "too busy" for me. But it looks good in black...wouldn't mind driving one for fun. Good review. Enjoy!
Switch the summer tires to a 255-35-20. They last a lot longer than the stock 245-30-20 and if you don't tune/flash the car, you reduce a lot of the wheelspin. There aren't a lot of wheel options in 19" that let you stay in class for AutoX because of the offset, and if you're going to bust out of class anyway, may as well go to a 275-35-18 semi-slick and really get after it.
Happy miles with your new Type R! Honda makes great cars that will serve you well for years. Alcantara is great but over the time I would worry about keeping it clean but that is just me. I prefer leather for longevity and wear characteristics. I may be wrong since never owned car with alcantara steering wheel cover. Looks great in black and does tone down the wild styling. Good choice!
Hes right about the z’s bite point, its literally like 90% dead pedal and 10% bite point, maybe even less. Its a pure raw driving experience while the type R feels like you’re driving an automatic with a gear box.
Nice car. You are spot on with the colour. The black really classes up the type R. I was considering the typeR myself, but being almost 40 it felt a bit too “boy racer” especially from the back. But in black it really calms down the exterior.
I am 60 and need a fast compact car to tow behind RV only Honda makes a sporty fast car we can tow four down so they win over any mean V8 I would rather drive at my age.
if it feels like it catches anywhere then its probably the CDV valve they put in .. get rid of it (the CDV valve not the car) .. it will feel more natural and quicker to shift
@@emersonmaldonado8843 auto rev match means that you can downshift without barking the tires. If you downshift without matching the rpms to the speed the wheels are spinning it will bark the tires and doing that at higher rpms can cause some traction loss. So the computer blips the throttle by itself to match the rpms to the speed of the wheels. This makes driving a manual MUCH more liveable for people who want to get into manuals without too much hassle
Another thing that really tones down the look is removing that red pin stripe vinyl around the perimeter of the car. Especially on black, that will make it as "sleeper" as an R can be.
Best looking Type-R on the outside and all you did was cheap wheels & winter tires lol. Love the black too; my MK7 GTI is dark blue and receives far less harassment than my fire engine red G8. Enjoy!
I have a 5speed manual Toyota Yaris. for those who don’t know Toyota was in the lead for somewhat sporty economic cars and the Yaris is there more successful version of that. It’s got a fairly heavy clutch and a pretty long shift idk why I’m saying this anymore but I really love my car lol
Clutch delay valve in the slave cylinder leads to inconsistent catch point on the pedal. It can be removed, but it will cause more drivetrain shock when making mistakes.
Congratz im happy for you and share your new happiness. Swelllllll I agree black look d best as it tones down the radical style. I am happy wit my 15WRX which replaced my 2005 Honda Integra which accompanied me for good 8yrs. So you can tell i am also a Honda fanbois
Agree interior is enough for me 👌🏽 nice take...I have the 2020 fk8 too Will you also be deactiving that fake engine sound in cabin once you get an exhaust? I probably am this weekend.
I go back & forth on the exterior styling, although it does look sharp in black. Did you consider a Focus RS? I have an ST now & am looking at upgrading to an RS.
I can’t believe people pay this much money on a fwd 300 hp civic, while you can get far superior track cars for the same money. It doesn’t even have awd to justify winter practicality. I would have gone with brand new camaro ss 1le or a used C6 ZO6.
Before you complain about the steering adaption, put it on a track. I have a feeling you’d respect the control of the torque steer comp if you did that
I am so close to buying this car, but I like the red just cause it makes the car "pop" more but the black is still very nice, looking forward to your vids.
with the "catch point' being so forgiving, would you suggest this or a WRX premium for a first manual car? im in the market for possible either a WRX premium, WRX STI, or Civic Type R. (I know, but basically im only financing half the car, so I have a good bit of wiggle room)
Being in Ohio as well, and being a new owner of a CTR, I'm looking for some inexpensive wheels and all season tires. Can you provide details on your winter wheels and tires?
I was actually looking at the AWE touring exhaust. Heard there still may be some drone on the highway and was hoping to get an exhaust with no drone. Have you heard the touring exhaust in person?
@@projectWRX15 I have not heard the touring in person. Although I will say the track has a bit more drone than stock. I imagine the touring has none, I did hear people saying it droned because of the extra exhaust not being pumped in, which can be disabled by removing the module.
I owned AWE touring for a few months. Love it a lot , not super loud but loud enough to make your smile. Drone is there, it’s loud when you hit 70+mph.
If I wasn't a Subaru fanboy I would of bought the Type R cause it's a perfect family car! For exhaust, look into Fujitsubo....very expensive, but it's the best JDM exhaust manufacturer and there exhaust always have ZERO drone! Trust me....I'm a Fujitsubo fanboy and use it on all my cars haha ^__~
Very curious on why you didn’t give the STI a try. And I’ve actually been on the verge to trade my STI for the type R, does the FWD bother you? I suppose it’s not as good at the wrx for winter
Congrats! The Type R is a modern legend and you can just feel the Honda quality in it. Enjoy and thanks for sharing!

Before you complain about the steering adaption, put it on a track. I have a feeling you’d respect the control of the torque steer comp if you did that
I am so close to buying this car, but I like the red just cause it makes the car "pop" more but the black is still very nice, looking forward to your vids.
with the "catch point' being so forgiving, would you suggest this or a WRX premium for a first manual car? im in the market for possible either a WRX premium, WRX STI, or Civic Type R. (I know, but basically im only financing half the car, so I have a good bit of wiggle room)
Honda is very easy to drive...the clutch catch point is a Honda thing. Won’t wear your left foot out.
Being in Ohio as well, and being a new owner of a CTR, I'm looking for some inexpensive wheels and all season tires. Can you provide details on your winter wheels and tires?
Congrats, I would get 18’s or 19’s, an exhaust for sure I use AWE track, and an intake (PRL). These 3 mods wake up the car.
I was actually looking at the AWE touring exhaust. Heard there still may be some drone on the highway and was hoping to get an exhaust with no drone. Have you heard the touring exhaust in person?
@@projectWRX15 I have not heard the touring in person. Although I will say the track has a bit more drone than stock. I imagine the touring has none, I did hear people saying it droned because of the extra exhaust not being pumped in, which can be disabled by removing the module.
I owned AWE touring for a few months.
Love it a lot , not super loud but loud enough to make your smile.
Drone is there, it’s loud when you hit 70+mph.
If I wasn't a Subaru fanboy I would of bought the Type R cause it's a perfect family car!
For exhaust, look into Fujitsubo....very expensive, but it's the best JDM exhaust manufacturer and there exhaust always have ZERO drone! Trust me....I'm a Fujitsubo fanboy and use it on all my cars haha ^__~
I got a 2021 Type R and I love ❤️ it , Rally Red baby lol
I love the intro song lol! I was jam to it while working!
Congrats man!!! Join Type R Factor on FB since you're in Ohio. Hope to see your Type R around!!
The reason why it’s pretty stiff in the +R mode is because it’s only meant for track use and straight line
Just asking. Which one has better premium feel? Accord or Civic? And which one is more fuel efficient & better mileage? Accord or Civic?
Congratulations!
honda Rev Match Control System that is why the clutch is flawless.
Only for downshifts
Congrats just stumble on ur youtube, good upgrade love the fk8, will sub looking forward to what you do next
Nice I bought a 2020 type r black as well up here in Canada 🇨🇦, put away for winter
Bro. I live in Cincinnati also. I just bought a new 2020 STi last week. We should meet up and do a Compare vid.
Right choice mate 👏🏻👏🏻 have fun
Maybe I should trade my WRX for one too. Thanks for this video. Very informative.
Debating getting one and making it my daily and turning my RSX into a project/ show car and keep it on the shelf for the weekends n such
Congrats! Are you going to rename your channel now to projectR21?
Apologies if I missed it in the video but are you going to sell the nismo as well since you have this now?
If you dont like the rear bumper. Check out the spoon rear. It’s alot cleaner
Very curious on why you didn’t give the STI a try. And I’ve actually been on the verge to trade my STI for the type R, does the FWD bother you? I suppose it’s not as good at the wrx for winter
The black is a great choice. I have a white one, but I really wish I would have went with the black or metallic grey.
Any tips to get MSRP? Honestly thinking about getting one used when I'm done paying off half of my Focus ST. The markups are wayyyy too high
I got mine used about 6 months ago. It had 6,700 miles on it and I got it for 33,995 sticker price. Its a 2019 sonic grey pearl Type R
Yes can you make a video on this?
