Great Video. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops and actively sought the ITS since June but the effort paid off. I got mine mid-November and LOVE IT! It is a hot commodity and I don't think it needs help selling, but the biggest problem is the online keyboard warriors who've never driven it. They look at the spec sheet and know it's a front wheel drive and dismiss it as overpriced. As some other reviewers have said and I can confirm, it's greater than the sum of it's parts. It is like trying to explain why you love someone, sure you can give some reasons, but you just do and know it deep down. By far the hardest part of ownership, storing it for the winter after only 2 weeks of ownership. The hell if I'm going to let the salt and the cold ruin this gem among modern cars. BTW, if you want to enjoy some nicer roads not too far from where you were driving, try Saint Georges and Saint Henri off the 201. They're just okay, not that long to drive but they're close by and provide some various bends to get a feel for the best feature of the car, it's handling.
@@karimbulldogs1435 Agreed but by cold, I meant everything that comes as part of the kit. This includes pot hole but also increased wear on the engine during cold starts and swirl marks from cleaning the snow off your car....among other crap.
I'm taking delivery of mine today. I believe it's a unique car for the price point. Anything it competes with is either more expensive or automatic only. I do wish it had five seats and a sun roof. Some of the cost savings don't make much sense.
You guys kill me talking about rev matching a manual car in traffic. Man just drive the fucking car until you’re smooth with it. I used to sit in traffic and eat a bowl of cereal while driving a manual. Damn you all are so soft now.
Except it's not a grown up Type R haha. It has fender flares straight out of need for speed, crackles and pops like a teenage ricer wannabe. And it really isn't any nicer inside to be frank.
Not worth it with how much cheap material they used from the civic, maybe if it was arouns 40-45k would be better. But for 8k more you can get a TLX type s with better materials

I don’t care about the salt and cold. It’s the effin pot holes and shitty cracked streets. I hate driving in Montreal

@@DriverBob14 yeah I know bro. Luckily I have a garage to keep my car in (can’t afford another) but I worry about the salt and heat mixing together.

Congrats! Great car wish I owned one myself
I am glad you like my car....best car under 100k.
Hard not to like it!

lol thanks for the video idea I’m go to drive a manual in traffic while eating cereal!
Damn Good review
Thank You
Thanks for checking it out with me!
Try speed shifting at red line……..better than slow shifting at 5,000 rpm.
I didnt know it had vtech
Makes it even better!
Beautiful car, but the Civic Type R is the better car... inside and out.
Trying to get my hands the Type R to find out!
