Got my ‘23 Si a week and a half ago (first Honda). I came from 5.0 Mustangs, STi, GTI, Cooper S and host of others (all manuals) Found and love all your content. Congrats on the Type R. I love my Si, but the Type R is definitely the way I wanna go in a year or so. Great car man!
Lucky that you were able to get an allotment, congrats! Not so lucky here in Ontario, the dealer owners and friends ended up gobbling up any allotments we had.
Congrats on the buy! I'm still upset that people are buying these regardless of the ridiculous markup prices. Ruins the fun for the other Honda enthusiasts. :(
One of the main reasons I am excited about this car is it having one of the best manual gearboxes you can get, having owned the s2k and dc2r in the past, it has spoilt me in expectations of what a manual gearbox needed to be like, and every gearbox has felt notch in comparison, Yaris GR, as much as an amazing car that is, the gearbox in it let me down
Congrats on 22’ Si sold and got a new Type R! I hope that you got a good deal for new Type R in Canada and in American cost around $76 to $82k in California with the markup, fuckin crazy!
@@MitchMc91 Where in Canada? No one is getting msrp... NO ONE. Unless u live in a country with special laws for dealers.. Id love to see ur walk out total on ur receipt.
@@JonHop1 don’t go to a dealership where they “demo” the car to get around having to sell it at msrp. Ontario is awful for doing that and Honda Canada needs to be stepping in, everyone in Atlantic Canada got their car at msrp
Congrats man!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Super good score especially for being in NS. Excited to see how this gets on come Spring. And saying you’ll put it away and won’t think about it til spring we know couldn’t possibly be true 😆
@@MitchMc91Okok cool stuff man am waiting on mine should be here soon. On Cham white also did all the paper work already just waiting for it to be dropped at the dealer.
Does the FL5 have independant TMPS sensors for PSI readings of each tires? I have a FK8 and it's always bothered me to see the TMPS light come on but you have to make a visual check of each wheel.
Be honest...You still got a lucky deal even in Canada. Canadian dealers get past the "no markup" laws all the time, by purchasing the vehicle for the dealership, then reselling it as used with mark-ups.
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 i have a few questions first how much did they go over sticker price here in the USA they are up to 30k over😬. are those rear seats alcantara. and can you show the cluster in detail cause most of us are never going to see one in reality.
Canadian dealers get past the no markup laws on new vehicles all the time. What they do is buy the new car as the dealer, once they have the title, they turn around and resell the car now under a "used" status. There are no laws on used caf prices. So it's still a brand new car with same mileage, except now they can charge what they want for it. Most Type-R's will be sold like this so they can mark them up legally in Canada.
Awesome Mitch dude perfect 👍🏿 Color 🎉🎉🎉 and Congratulations 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 make Sure and Ceramic coat and PPF this bad boy 😊❤❤❤😊 Oh yaa bud we here - 😢 sad to see it go for now, but I’ll watch out for next Spring. BigTurbo, Springs, DP 😊 Oh my 😅 can’t wait
I cannot wait for mine. Getting it in Xmas. Same color. But I have a few questions, which bulbs in the exterior and interior aren’t LEDs? lol, I’m changing them all and I wanna be prepared for when I receive the car. And are the side mirrors fold automatically? (I believe it’s only the European models that has that). These are things people aren’t talking about and I need answers lol And I’m also coming from a 10th Gen Si 👍🏼. The coupe one. I love my Si. But since I can’t keep two cars where I live, I’m trading it in for this one. I hated the type R 10th Gen, the body was too much going on, the 10th gen Si was better looking for me. So this new Type R is much better looking while still has the race car aesthetic. Definitely keeping this one for a very long time and then get an EV for a second car if I move to my own house with a two car garage.
Side mirrors do not fold automatically. You can find the manual online, it has all the bulb specs and sizes listed in the manual. Most are LED, but not all.
My son drove my ancient Civic Type R when he was in school, and now he offers to get me a 2023 Civic Type R. I wanted one, but I don't think I can live with the red carpet and seats. I wished Honda offers it in another color.
Just put some Tux-mats in (they offer full carpet coverage), and get some seat covers. Or if you don't mind spending more, you can have the seats redone in whatever color/material you like.
That's not necessarily true. Canadian dealers get past the "no markups" laws all the time. They purchase the vehicles for the dealership, and resell them as "used" (same new car with same new car mileage). There are no restrictions on used car prices. This way they can legally mark them up.
@@MitchMc91 not really. In Canada they may not have the preposterous dealer markups of 26 grand that the us market does. Especially on specialty or novelty cars. Ford broncos, and any electric truck to name a few.

Listening to how you say “car” all I can think about is trailer park boys
🤣 they literally live 4hrs away from me
Lmaoooo
I lost it at every “Type R”
Congrats!!! will keep an eye on your future videos to see what mods you do sounds like I am also thinking about doing the same as you
Congrats man!
Hey thanks!
I'm from edmonton alberta have been following your builds for a while now. Congratulations on your new car looks awesome nice Colour..
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Congrats nice car, i just got my Si in NB
Hey thanks! You’ll be happy with the SI
Congrats. Do you mind telling how much over msrp you paid? Thanks
Car number is that 601? I thought they where only making 546 for Canada??
That’s 601 the badge is a global number. There’s probably only 10-12 delivered in Canada this first batch from what I can see so far

Yes. They have individual TPMS this time.
So the real question is how much you put down payment and how much mark up total price?
No down payment and no mark up here in Canada

i have a few questions first how much did they go over sticker price here in the USA they are up to 30k over😬.
are those rear seats alcantara.

Not allowed to go over sticker here in Canada

I would really love to have one but one question remains: Is it really better than the FK8 ?
Better in what way?
Nice review. How is the suspension compared to your Si? Is comfort mode still really bumpy?
SI is better because it’s sports injection. Accord is more for commute
Hey what all season mats did you buy?
Have 10thgen SI mats in there right now haha but I ordered Tux mats
My son drove my ancient Civic Type R when he was in school, and now he offers to get me a 2023 Civic Type R. I wanted one, but I don't think I can live with the red carpet and seats. I wished Honda offers it in another color.
What model year was your "ancient" CTR?
Just put some Tux-mats in (they offer full carpet coverage), and get some seat covers. Or if you don't mind spending more, you can have the seats redone in whatever color/material you like.
What’s the back seats materials wise? Plain Clothes ?
Honda put alcantara back seats in the Type R as standard for all countries except the U.S. and Canada model
Poverty material
Enjoy It! Final total price? 👍
MSRP….Canada
Damn lucky they are going for 25k over in the us

Read the title of the video buddy. It has the name of the car there
@@mikeyl114 sorry, I didn’t realise that that was a different car
Looks like an Accord....lol
@Gary thanks
Congratulations on the CTR. Any idea on wait times/availability for Honda accessories? Did Colonial try to roll a bunch of extras into the sale?
Not to sure on the Honda accessories. No they didn’t add anything into the deal, just the car no bs
Hondata is better for Type R or making more than 300hp in general
Not true
The $75,000 Civic! You better wrap the entire car in 24k gold for me to pay 75k for a civic with a turbo...
No marks up?
Nope not in Canada unless you have a shady dealer putting miles on it to sell as a demo
But honestly what was the out the door price you paid hopefully it wasn’t 70k
Hopefully it was msrp
@@thosetwodudes don’t think so I’m sure he paid over sticker just by how much we’ll never know lol 😆
how much did you pay? 80K?
Msrp (50k Canadian)
Nice family sedan
Lol the haters always have jokes
@@SIIKAP1 indeed. Kiddos to you for answering with love though!
I watched this until i heard canada, byeeeeeeee🙃
That side profile on the thumbnail is horrible, besides that car is pretty cool.

It’s wider longer and heavier.
when Civic turned into Daddys car
HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY FOR IT
Probably msrp or less. Supposedly canada doesn’t do markups.
