The long wait is over guys! Here is our full take on what the new Civic Type R is like to drive on the road and on the track! We also give the microphone to our editor, Rob for the first time and he offers his take on what this new version is like compared to the 2017 model he owned for 5 years! We look forward to driving it back to back with the GR Corolla, Golf R, and Elantra N at a later time! ❤
Another Great Detailed Review, Thanks. OK OK OK i was telling joe from raitis ride who was the big zonk driver infront of him and i said i can tell you is not redline you were second you just confirmed. You look like you were having fun driving it, Its just those seats they move so much when you were driving on the race track.
Love having Rob gave his comparison of the new and old version. Also love you guys tried different ways to see how fast it can go to 60mph. Fabulous review, answered all the questions I have and more. 🎉
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Your the best car reviewer for always doing a 0-60. Alex on Auto is a complete opposite. "Stay tuned for full review for 0-60" then never reviews the car for 0-60. All the other reviewers never consistently give 0-60. That's why your the best. "Fast" "quick" "dad quick" "adequate" these are terms I don't understand.
Great video! I watched them all and I appreciate how thorough you guys are, I think Honda really failed journalists with this release and slightly killed the hype of it. Thankfully the Type R badge speaks for itself!
I think the most underrated comparison people aren’t making is between the cost of this type R (with the markup) and the TLX Type s. It’s also a Honda, it’s faster, nicer inside and out, and is a true luxury car. Yes it may not be the same track weapon as this, but at 55 grand for the Type S, and 60-75 for this Type R… I’d go to the Acura dealer asap.
The TLX Type S is a different kind of car for buyers more interested in the luxury and comfortness side of things. It has 355hp but it is over a thousands pounds heavier so it is outmatched by the Civic Type R in most scenarios performance-wise.
The new Type R's styling is FAR better than the ridiculous look of the outgoing model, which I hated. This new one I'd actually buy. However, at this price it should have full LED lighting outside.
Can you specify if the soft touch injection molded plastic is the super thin type like on the regular civic or more padded like in something like a Corolla or GTI?
There are 3 types of car "enthusiasts". One, is the people that love boy racer look. Second is the conservative look. Then the third ones, are the ones love the Honda badge. They would also say Audi looks boring, but the new Type-R looks amazing.
So bottom line is stay away from “car enthusiasts,” and just drive what makes you happy. A whole lot of them seem to be insecure and narcissistic anyways.
$42k MSRP, with crazy markup prices....yaaaa I'll give it a few years for it to be in the 30's. Cars are just becoming more and more expensive, it's nuts.
Cars in general are actually slightly cheaper today vs 20 years ago, the number is bigger, but you get WAY more for your money, not taking into account COVID and stealership price gouging.
Dont know why they remove the middle seat. The cup holders has the possibility to be in the backrest. I guess, it can be switched out if I ever own one.
Honda dropped the 2.0 turbo engine on the Accord, but replaced it with a similar engine block on the Civic. We want an automatic transmission available on the Civic Type R for more purchase options
Love how he started off the video as if the new Type R was going to address the "dealer markup" situation and then proceeded to only state the marketing fluff that Honda wanted him to convey. 🤔
Next up in the pipeline, Acura Integra Type S. A toned down Civic Type R with a bit more refinement probably. I'm hoping for a DCT but it'll probably be MT only.
I dont know if it’ll have a dct, the last honda/acura dct was the 2017-2021 ILX, unless they have some dcts left it would most likely be the 10speed auto
You're not the only person that's having that seat noise another video when a customer picked up his brand new car and had the same problem and the car only had less than a thousand miles
This new Civic might outsell the new Accord that most people aren't happy about. But with the Stealerships mark ups this edition might be selling at $75K 😄🤷♂️
This is actually the seventh version of the Type R rather than the second. Since two previous versions were made concurrently I suppose you could say there have been five previous generations.
Every major car review group has released a review on this car today, and I've yet to hear one person talk about if it feels FASTER than the FK8, the most important part lol. Please tell us!
I liked the old "Boy Racer" style way better. Loud and Proud was the whole point of this car. Now it just looks like everything else but with a Autozone cheap wing added...🤣
I have a feeling this is the last of the 2 L turbo. And that the next type R will be a 1.5 turbo with a hybrid setup for better fuel economy and reduced reliability.
The one we drove on the track did not have the creaking seat, it was limited to just that model we drove on the back roads. Early pre-production car problems 😅
@@theredline hello sofyan is there anyway you can reach out to Honda regarding the seat squeak. It may be more of an issue than first thought. There are others having the same issue and someone that goes by name of CypressR on RUclips posted a video a few mins ago of his being really bad. His dealer is ordering new frame pieces but makes me wonder if this is going to be more of a regular occurrence.
Its growing on me. Acura is looking a lot better with their new lineup, but all of their vehicles fill cramped, 3ven the mdx seems like it would be bigger
A 70,000 dollar Civic with a stiff suspension and red racing seats isn't going to be a great daily driver, especially if you live in an area where premium fuel is expensive
@@ericdouglas7039 agreed who in the world would want this as a daily car. Although I absolutely love this car. !!This would be my weekend car. Obviously the maintenance will be more than that of a “basic” civic. Common sense.
The rear quarter panel area still looks weird. Looks like the trunk was shaved off to make it look like a hatch. Who does that?? Oh honda does. The graphics look all bunched up. The rear taillights are way too big. The chrome "beak" on the d pillar ruins the whole look
What a waste of R&D time. This car will never be obtainable to be what it was meant to be (affordable performance). People with disposable income will buy them and keep them in garages while targeted demographic will have to settle for RUclips videos. This is a USA problem to be clear, not world problem. Only USA has aggressive laws protecting dealers and mandating they exist without any control. It boggles my mind that the company who made the car is powerless in preventing their customers from being ripped off. People who made the car said this car costs $44K but we have to give it to a third party who had nothing to do with R&D so they can add $25K mark up to line their pockets before our customers can have it. If you think about it, it is quite insane. For example, Canada has ethics board that prohibits any markups.
So almost $60,000? I love Honda but that's just silly to spend that much...for that money, get an Audi RS3 that does better in every performance and quality metric and and has AWD
Slim and refined look is much better than the riced out look. I’m older and wouldn’t buy the previous model because it looked like a cop magnet. “Look at me! “
Well theres a vid with the fk8 and fl5 and the fk8 just whooped the fl5 both fully stock and by alot so guess reviewers are on the marketing side of things with the fl5 no dought it has improvements but they are very slightly deferent im a proud owner of a fk8 was going for the new one but tested the Elantra N and had to have it so now i have both
Great job with this review, I do love this car, but I wish Honda would design a performance hybrid to really maximize the performance. Honda developed some amazing performance hybrid technology 10+ years ago, but they are, for some reason, holding back that technology, why is a mystery. My 6-year-old daily driver is a performance hybrid and way out-performs this new Type R in many areas including MPG. They have the tech to design a 375hp Type-R Hybrid, 0-60 in 4 seconds, and gets 35 to 40 MPG. this car is slow off the line. An electric boost motor would correct that.
Should have put a similar K20 in the Si. I would buy this over the FK8, but inflation and markups turn me off, so i will be keeping my 2012 RR FG4. No point in selling if i have a 2.4L K24
@@f181234 The Si has always had the K20 though. For them to take it away and put it in the Type-R and drop an unreliable Lseries in it, then put a detuned K20 in the Accord is a slap in the face.

The Integra is a Hatch and that right there says they want Integra sales to be better than the Civic Si because people asked for a Si Hatch which was not delivered. The 11th gen Si is only a sedan. People are only going to keep their older Si or buy a Type-R or Accord. I love Honda, but they died in 2016.
@@DJPleasureSeekingMissle Exactly. I believe Honda was going to go all out. The Prototype FG4 had an HDMI exhaust before the 10th gen did with cool LED foglights and 18” wheels. People was like why is vtec on the intake side? It was so we could turbo and surpercharge them. People still complained about the bland styling and interior. I think it was just fine and here we are two generations later with a similar issue of the styling. Tbh, the FK2 should have been an updated Civic but in sedan and coupe form. The headlights still gave 8th gen vibes. Thats what the modern civic should have been. Look at the Accord which reached its modern look of the 6th gen Accord during its 8th and 9th gen phase or the Odyssey and CRV for example. Honda lost their touch trying to outshine the Germans. Who needs all this fancy tech that makes the car expensive and unreliable. Honda was simple and fun cars Acura should just be technologically reliant but, thats just my opinion. Like they say dont fix whats not broken.
Looks great and will finally age well, just like the iconic 5th gen..…but at this size, Honda should’ve also offered an AWD option. Hopefully Acura will be able to get their heads out of their arshes and correct this with an SH-AWD Integra……NOT!🙄🤪 A plain steering wheel (a la Porsche) and an infotainment delete (with rear camera integrated with rear view mirror) would be nice options, as well.

Hopefully Acura will be able to get their heads out of their arshes and correct this with an SH-AWD Integra……NOT!🙄🤪 A plain steering wheel (a la Porsche) and an infotainment delete (with rear camera integrated with rear view mirror) would be nice options, as well.
