@@franchisefred4066 no one is forcing people to buy them with markups and some dealers still have waiting lists for purchasing at MSRP. Regardless, they'll hold their value just as well (if not better) than the previous generation R. If this is truly the last fully combustion engine R, a model with low miles and good maintenance would probably sell for quite a lot in another 20-30 years.

Congrats on the new FL5! I agree with 100% about the quality. That is the first thing you notice when driving this car. The build quality is definitely taken to another level on this one compared to the Fk8. They stepped it up a lot!
Topher will be kicking his shoes together many times before entering this new rocket!! (I think you forgot to do this because of your moment of excitement in this video) Enjoy! I love watching all your POVs and the one you made of the FK8 help me decide on getting one a few years ago.

Congratulations on the Type-R! Watching your videos and how much you enjoy driving manuals help inspire me to learn too. Currently enjoying my new to me ND2 Miata!
Congrats man. I bought an Elantra N DCT at the end of October for my birthday. Drove 4 hours out of town to get it with no markups and 39k out the door. I feel like the EN and the CTR are probably the closest competitors to each other from a track perspective and daily as well.
So happy you got this car! Ive been subscribed like 2 years i think and youve been awesome and the type R is my dream car so im always glad to see your content on it, enjoy!
Me too. I love my Si but the Type R is for sure my dream car. To bad it's basically unobtainium at the point with the insane mark ups. If I could get it at msrp I would actually be able to afford it. But I see them going for 60-70k and that's just insane.
Hey Topher, one thing I used to do with my GTI was to put a sock inside out on the shift knob when I parked. Helped it from getting piping hot in the summer and better than touching the freezing knob in the winter. Congrats on the amazing new car!
Note that you film at night and the lighting is weak, but you gave the right to the car because all the reviews about the car and the videos that I used to see in the past were beautifying the look of the car, but you gave me another impression, I felt that I was with you by the way I liked that you used a lamp The phone 😂👍🏽 Thank you bro
Congrats! I’ve been a fan for a few years and I am so happy to see how much you and this channel have grown. Thank you for sharing and have fun with the new whip!
I recently purchased a Veloster N and want to thank you for getting me into cars. I was nervous having a manual for the first time but your videos helped me out
I have my deposit down on mine and I'm number 2 at the dealership to get mine there is 1 on the way so hopefully I'll have mine in another 3 to 4 months hopefully and congrats Topher on the new type r 👍
I ended up pulling the trigger on a few years old STI instead of waiting for one of these to show up. I am tired of dealing with Toyota and Honda dealerships at this point wanting 25k over MSRP. I will enjoy the STI until the prices of these comes down to 40k. Great car, but I will have to wait.
Congrats on getting the Type R! Two years ago I test drove an 18 Type R and knew I had to get one one day. Since then I found your channel and have watched pretty much all of your Type R content. Helps me cope ha! My wife is sick of hearing about cars though! Take a road trip down to North Carolina with that thing and let’s go on the Tail of Dragon while I’m waiting to get one myself ha! Looking forward to more Type R content! Keep it coming!
I picked up my 23 type r yesterday in championship white. She's a bat out of hell... enjoy yours tomorrow I get the forged rims, carbon wing, lit door sills, and rain guards installed. I also grabbed the floor mats.

Hi… very nice car. I know you did a few reviews of the 2022 WRX Premium. You seemed to have enjoyed it a lot. I ended up buying one and I love it. Your reviews and my own test drives were the deciding factor in my buying one. Maybe you got your type R for a good price…. Most have serious dealer markups.. I paid sticker for my WRX. NO emergency brake on the R was an issue for me. I love your show… Especially with my headphones on.. Keep up the good work…
Holy sheet Batman! This is the first actual owner vid I've seen...and I havent even seen one of these things in the wild yet. I cruised through my local Honda dealership this past weekend and didnt see one on the lot or showroom..but avoided the salesguys so I didnt ask if they even had one. How crazy is it to get the (arguably) best type R ever and the GR Corolla so close together? If I didnt know it's all coming to an end very soon I'd say were were living in the budget enthusiast golden age and be looking forward to future efforts. Guess I should just be thankful such cars still exist. Awesome choice man! I'm super jelly.. Edit- absolutely insane that MSRP is now considered a "great deal" when just umm..like 3 years ago or less the goal was a couple grand under? Dealerships are making windfall profits these days (the ones with stock that is) and it pains me to think MSRP is the new benchmark.🙈
@@Fiafoodreviews Not quickly enough, lots of buyers are still reporting price gouging on the most popular models, and getting anything under MSRP seems to be a thing of the past.
Congratulations on the FL5! Would love to see how the ownership review turns out to be. Gonna be living vicariously through the Topher 😂. How does the ride in comfort mode compare to a Subaru WRX? That comparison would give me a great idea of how the FL5 compares to the WRX as a DD.
Congrats on the CTR! Looks better than the FK8 and Honda says they fixed the overheating issues on track, so two steps in the right direction IMO. Surprised you wouldn't use the BRZ for track given it's lighter, NA and RWD. Either way, looking forward to seeing more content.

FL5 is made in Japan, huge difference.
@@elusivellama the materials used also plays a big role. Huge difference in the 11th gen civic as a whole vs the 10th gen. 😎
Finally quit making the car in the UK with their lousy fit and finish.
They're the same in quality whether it was made in japan or uk.
Interesting to hear, considering what a huge leap the 10th gen was over the 9th gen in terms of build quality
Whats crazy is all of the cars you have driven you chose the FL5. That shows the quality of the craftsmanship of how Honda builds with love. Enjoy!

Beautiful car and super happy for you bro! I hope the dealer didn't hurt you with a big markup! Drive fast and dont die🤟🏼
This and the GR Corolla are my current “attainable” dream cars. Congrats! I’m hoping I can buy one new in the next few years.
Enjoy it! I love cruising around to break in a car. FYI, I used to put a cloth wristband over the metal shift knob in my RSX during the winter.

@@daigo12865I like the type R at $40k but imo when approaching $50k and up I just don’t see the value in it. Too much competition at those prices
I think it looks more like a family friendly sport sedan now than it's previous gen but it's also a very clean look that I'm slowly enjoying.
If I had the money this would definitely be the two cars I would pick right now too, but I’d rather have the 86 over the brz. Great choices Topher!
