@@davelospinoso9022 i have the factory 19s+ps4s now, but for winter i am downsizing to 18"s My wheels are now going to be Enkei TSV in 18x8.5+38, and my new snow tires will be Nokian Hakkapelitta R5, in 245/45 R18 both wheels and tires were bought off of marketplace, some good deals to be had if you look!
@@Dai1lest its so fun to drive haha, its still a honda civic, but like they made a fantastic sports car thing out of it too, which is why i love driving it so much, in fact i will take the long way home on many days just to have fun with the car more :D
You can remove one of the resonators right behind the cat, and then keep open the exhaust flap and that'll be the same as the type S. You can also get the type S damping module and that smooths out the suspension. Makes it a bit of a fusion up to type s a bit. Really great, easy, and super cheap things to do.
I have the same model, the same colour. Wonderful car, after half a year ownership I can confirm all what reviwers say is true. But I would like to point out a few practical cons. 1. It is wider than normal car. So parking in tight space or driving at narrow streets is not so easy. 2. It eats a lot😅
This will probably be my next car for sure.. what a beauty, regarding that shift knob I would probably change it to a different one perhaps the longer stick ones just to have space for a cup if anything.. other than that love the red touches in the interior so beautiful.
Banged my hazelnuts on the seat bolster jumping in to my Type R the other day 😂. But damn it, what a great driver’s car it is. Character by the bucket. Five stars!
They’re going for msrp now with a little negotiation! Last Saturday I had two dealerships fight over the sale. I even managed to talk them out of the pre-installed dealer’s “options”! The holidays are a great time to buy a car since dealers are hurting for sales.
I've owned a '24 for 9 months now. I would agree the exhaust is the biggest let down it's just too quiet. The cupholders aren't my favorite either and the tire seem to be magnets for nails. Daily driving it can be a bit of a let down compared to being able to open it up on the twisties. The price is steep but I think it's actually well valued for what you get. +R mode makes me feel physically sick on all but the smoothest roads. The piped in sound kind of sucks. I put the ITS module in it and it's a great mod. Comfort mode now actually feels fairly comfortable. Overall very minor complaints and I'm super happy with mine.
I keep hearing about the car not having heated seats and being in the south that's not an issue. The back seat is perfect because if you are driving in type r mode having a middle back passenger they would get tossed around.
I was kinda bummed giving up my heated seats, but the microfiber never feels uncomfortably cold like leather does. The one thing that it should absolutely have (and does in every country besides the US) is parking sensors. Especially since the backup cam cuts out the second that you take it out of reverse. Other than that the car is absolutely perfect. Your resale estimates are also *WILDLY* off. Right now a 2019 Type R with 60k miles goes for around 34-36k, which is 92-99% of its original value. Oh and that's a real piece of aluminum for the trim around the shifter. :)
they come handy in the integra for sure, and especially In Japan. Honda definitely cheaper out here that being said the USDM bumpers without the sensors also look cleaner so there's that
@ShaiyanHossain idk if my bumper looks cleaner with scratches in it though 😆 was pitch black and pouring rain and the cam was too blurry to see the 3' rock wall behind me
I've had a FK8 and know a Fl5. I live in Los Angeles and on those +90deg F days the shifter does not get uncomfortably hot to the touch. People are exaggerating.
Yea idk why dealers like to put smaller tank sizes. And with all the hybrids, they have smaller gas tanks than older gens, if they had the same size, they'd have 600/700 miles range. But the Type R def needs a bigger tank 400 mile ranges.
I have an ITS, if you think the gas tank is too small wait until you see the windshield washer tank, i have to fill it up 3x more than any other car I've ever owned. But these cars drive 3x better than every other car I've owned so it's worth it
This is a car that I have always wanted as I am a Honda man. I don't need it but I've always wanted one. You could never get a Type R at MSRP. The dealers jacked up the price and put a crazy upcharge on them. I don't know if they are still doing that but it made the price very unattractive. At MSRP it's kind of a bargain for such a little rocket.
Keep trying! Took me few dealers before I found 2 selling at MSRP and picked one up. Visited both dealers in person at off peak day/time (one Sunday before closing, another Wed 30mim before closing). Emailing doesn’t seem to work. Ironically, dealer I got mine from I had originally emailed and they said wouldn’t do msrp 😅.
why there are no many of them on the streets? Did Honda only fabricate a low number by year? is it because they are marked up really high over retail value?
Production numbers currently world wide are over 30k, if your in the us it's around 3k a year. I wouldn't expect more then 10k in the us for the entire run.
Biggest gripe is the +R suspension is terrible. Literally 0/10. Idk how anyone likes it. I don't even daily my fl5 and I replaced it with the ITS module. Way better in every way. Last gripe is the exhaust. Brought it to car meet and everyone stares but then laughs when I try to rev lol. Otherwise best car for overall for sure.

@@jimmyvu7533 Yes if you don't drive the car...lol Those tires were intentionally designed to wear out fast with hard driving so they can sell you another shitty set. I know this from having gone thru a couple of sets. Only because they came on the cars.
@ “its not that hard” lmao its called having a life and having work buddy. Im not driving several hundred miles and over for a car thats not even guaranteed to be msrp when i get there. And im definitely not paying for no flights. “Go out of your area” my ass. You’re the type to tell a homeless person to get a house. XD clown
the fact that you dont see this new body style ANYWHERE says something....no one likes its boring, accord looking style....now the generation BEFORE sold like hot cakes and i see them everywhere....why? because they looked extream and different...this....this is boring, lame and just old man with a spoiler that looks like it was a after thought so they just stuck it on the trunk/roof...i have yet to see a single one of this new style in my city....
Golf R faster, Less Room, German Engineering=Money Pit after 60k miles. But if quality build doesn't matter and you've got endless cash for repairs than go with the golf R
Honda need made 2 door type r and any view turbo not showing nice to uo double turbo and eco system and two doors only and design same spacial edition and hope honda can read to made in Acura America and honda Japan joining made and nice

You guys are some of the best car reviewers I’ve ever seen I can’t think of someone better than you to review a car that I’m interested in.
That's very nice of you to say, thanks!
The color look gorgeous in the Honda Civic
Best car I've ever owned.
I love the manual transmission

Can relate 😂
Funny. Yes, you have to be careful getting in the CTR. If you forget, it can be painful. 😂
Did that the other day in mine. I howled!
I had a 22 Si and I traded it in for a boost blue type r. Best car I ever had
All I can say about how good this car is, is my wife won't stop driving it. Every time we drive you can't help but have an enjoyable drive.
I've been looking to purchase this Type R at MSRP for about a year now. Dealers refuse to sell at MSRP. I'll patiently wait.
Buy it used. The car doesn't settle into itself until 7k-10k miles. I have 16k on mine. It drives better now than it did new from the showroom.
I couldn’t wait either, I got the ITS at msrp …. I absolutely love this thing and don’t regret buying it for a one second
Patience is key. I finally got one locally at msrp this past weekend
They’re going for msrp now with a little negotiation!
Last Saturday I had two dealerships fight over the sale.

@@vjd222 haha thats fair, i have to park mine super slowly
Cam cutting out is annoying..wish it’d stay on for a few seconds after popping out of reverse.
I've had a FK8 and know a Fl5. I live in Los Angeles and on those +90deg F days the shifter does not get uncomfortably hot to the touch. People are exaggerating.
I’ve owed both also and I live in south Florida. The shifter does get hot for sure.Tinted windshield solved that though.
Hopefully this means you'll finally review the Hybrid Civic Hatchback soon
21.9 mpg isn't bad, but they need to put in a bigger tank to increase the range
Yea idk why dealers like to put smaller tank sizes. And with all the hybrids, they have smaller gas tanks than older gens, if they had the same size, they'd have 600/700 miles range. But the Type R def needs a bigger tank 400 mile ranges.
@@whatskrakin37 how tf u getting 400 miles on type R? on my integra a spec it was doable but on my type r I've never gotten a range over 330 miles
I have an ITS, if you think the gas tank is too small wait until you see the windshield washer tank, i have to fill it up 3x more than any other car I've ever owned.
But these cars drive 3x better than every other car I've owned so it's worth it
The Elantra N got a 5 on the smile meter so I’m surprised this only got a 4.

You can shift in the hot and cold be a man 💪🏾
This one definitely look too fun to review!!
I know they’re very different but how is ride quality and highway noise in the CTR compared to your 3 series? Thank you
A lot firmer and a lot louder
Yes worth price as well as type S.
I only have 785 miles on mine. Wish I could drive it more!
Then drive more since you own it
@ I drive another car for work.
Y’all should a comparison video with the gr Corolla and the civic typerR
We will be making one with the Elantra N!
why there are no many of them on the streets? Did Honda only fabricate a low number by year? is it because they are marked up really high over retail value?
Too expensive for what it’s worth
Production numbers currently world wide are over 30k, if your in the us it's around 3k a year. I wouldn't expect more then 10k in the us for the entire run.
@@justinhale2160 Those are really low number. But we have to consider that it is not a mainstream car. It is only for enthusiasts.
Where are the bloopers of all the stalls? 😂
This manual is so easy to drive that neither of us stalled the entire week 😎 (thats not always the case with other cars lol)
No heated seats is a deal breaker for me. Maybe they'll become available for 2025 like on the Si.
Well you're missing out on some of the best oem seats available. 🤷🏻♂️
No changes for 25M CTR
I have a 2025 no heated seat .. but the car is hot in itself 😂
Spoiler looks like a shopping cart. I like the EN better at about $20k less money and you can get it in auto or stick.
Korean trash 😂
I would go with the type s integra if you’re over 30
IDK.. Why Honda not compete in Supercar Racing Category? It has potential, but don't bother to do
It's out of Thinking IMO..
Hopeful here that they’ll finally release an auto version all wheel drive to go against the gr corolla. Excited for the future.
That'll never happen bro maybe for an electric type r someday 🤣
@ that’s what they said about the GR Corolla when it was only manual and now look what happened
No spare tire?? 45,000 that is crazy.
In Canada the civic starting price is 30g, and sells as high 47grand for touring, inflation on small cars wow. At 47g, you can buy Tacoma for 50
Stop crying 🍼
It’s great until you get stuck in a bad traffic jam
❤❤❤
Who ever at honda decided to make the shift knob full metal is diabolical 😂😂😂
Where’s the 2025 ;(
Biggest gripe is the +R suspension is terrible. Literally 0/10. Idk how anyone likes it. I don't even daily my fl5 and I replaced it with the ITS module. Way better in every way. Last gripe is the exhaust.

It's called having fun, you should try it out sometimes! 😂
red interior immediately kills it for me… please tell me that’s optional, honda’s colored seats look so cheap imho
Red interior has always been in the type r. It's heritage at this point.
lol $46k for a type r. Never gonna happen. Ive only seen $60k
So many people (including myself) have paid MSRP lol. Someone just posted a 2025 boost blue that they paid msrp for today in one of the FB groups
@@vjd222 I dont care if you paid msrp. In my area its marked up and they will refuse to lower the price.

Beautiful car but I cant justify the high price for a civic. I'd rather spend the money on a Golf R.
No need to cry about it. 🍼

Buy a Golf R, you get german engineering, good technology, faster performance, 4 exhausts, etc.

german engineering is already killed by Euro eco laws - recycled plastic which is already of poor quality!
I would never buy another GTI or Golf R after a week in the FB groups. So many people get rid of them bc they have so many issues.
Hopefully Honda will make a killer automatic to compete with the Golf R and GR Corolla.
