As adaily driver in Portland Oregon of a 2018 Civic Type-R. You guys are on point with every critique in your videos. Thank you honestly for being straight forward, and non-judgmental with your reviews. I've owned 3 different STI's over the years and I absolutely love Subaru. But, they haven't really changed in years. Honda changed the game with this one. My only complaint. The infotainment system and user interface needs serious improvement.
I know your comment was over two years ago so I don't expect a reply but on the off chance that you see this comment which car would you recommend specifically for someone living in Canada where we get harsh winters. Obviously the subie would be better in the snow but is the type r fun enough to deal with the inconvenience of driving it in the winter?
Love you guys and your energy! I’m as happy watching you guys as watching Clarkson, Hammond, and May. Thoughtful reviews and the pace of editing is tops! Visor test 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video. Very well edited, and very entertaining. I’m almost 50, and drive a 2017 Civic sedan and I love it. Would I buy a Type R? No. I’d get sick of everybody telling me that I shouldn’t have because I’m too old. Do they make me drool? Oh yeah!
+SubieFL the focus RS will be more familiar and more fun. However I think it'll start to show its age rather quickly. The Type R is based on a significantly newer platform and it really shows. The focus RS will be getting a big refresh in a few years. They're both so good though and it comes down to personal preference and price (we can get the Type R for msrp in Canada, so it's about $10k cheaper than the RS)
Thanks for this video. I signed the papers on my new type R a few days ago and am waiting anxiously for it to arrive. This is helping me deal with the excitement.
You two are a riot! I've been watching your videos on a regular. I'm a huge car buff and would love it if you'd consider reviewing my personal car. 2004 Audi S4 B6. 68000 original miles Nagora Blue
it's nice finally seeing positive reactions to this car looks. i think it looks awesome in a juvenile way that "car people" aren't willing to admit is awesome.
I drive the Civic FK8 since 09.2017 and use it as my daily driver. All I can say is that the car runs perfectly, no flaws so far and I enjoy driving it every day. Great car!
I just bought a Civic si coupe 2013 in great condition, and it’s amazing. I just missed my Acura rsx so bad and it was the closest thing I could get to replicate the nostalgia, even though it was automatic and trashed by previous owners. Honda is wonderful, lots of character.
I have left a cheque as deposit to Honda's agent here in Hong Kong and they told me that I have to wait 6 months, 1 year at most, for a Type R.... Holy crap....
My dream car is a Type R. I hope to own one someday. I wanted to trade my Si in for one but I ended up getting a WRX instead as the payments on the Type R would've been ridiculously high. This car looks so much fun to drive and looks so nice. Although I will say I am extremely happy with my WRX.
You guys make some of the best reviews out there! I've owned one of these for almost a year and didn't know my visors would extend like that, even though I've watched this many times.
Manual is really not that hard. My first car was a Manual. Hadn't driven one in past 20 years. Test drove an sti a few months back and it was very nice. I would suggest finding a cheap used Manual anything and learn on that. Or have a friend teach you.
I've watched so many reviews of different cars or bikes from different sources, but this Video was just fabulous. The most appealing way to convince someone to praise a car. Kudos to both of you, and off course to Honda!! :)
I was waiting for a Civic Type R, a new Mazdaspeed3 or a new STI wagon. Looks like Honda won that race! If only the Focus RS wasn't absurdly expensive....
The thing that pisses me off the most is the dealer's added margin in these special car situations... I remember very distinctly when ford rolled out the Shelby GT500 mustang in like 2007, dealerships were adding $20k-40k on top of the MSRP (which was specific to the Shelby GT500 itself).... That's pure mark-up by dealerships just because it was perceived to be an extremely special example (given there were no true GT500s since '69/'70).
This is my dream car since I heard about it and I love the 2020 facelift most. I love it that much that I even made my configuration of it and this is the best rewiew I had seen about this car so far LOVE IT GUYS
0:38 they got the point there, people on the internet say that the new type R (FK8) is the worst and the old one (EK9) is better while at 90% percent of those people who comment it didn't even drive the FK8 and the EK9 or live with it, they just thinking that from the look of it not how it drive and perform

Type r is amazing. I also subscribed cuz I missed my hometown. I'm currently studying law at Ottawa and watching this video reliefs me somewhat from my homesickness lol
The Civic Type R is worth the price of admission because of the amount of hype, exclusitivity and priveledge of owning and driving one right now! Heck, it gets more attention at car meets then already supped up FRS and other pieces of crap.
So you held the clutch in and rowed through the gears... and it still rev match? I thought you had to release the clutch. Will it rev match properly if you skip gears? Like you go from 5 to 3
I put a spraycan cover on the shift knob to hide it from the heat ! This car is just amazing , went camping at BrucePeninsula . damn awesome space to put everything i need !
Which are a much better option for daily driving in Canada. To own a Type R in Canada is like owning a corvette, you can only enjoy it from April to September, the rest of the time you need to put it away because it would be a mess on snow and ice. In any case I'm sure most people would prefer AWD.
@Nai-son ` This is a Canadian channel, and most people in Canada would likely prefer to have AWD because our climate, especially if they are buying a performance vehicle. For example GTI VS Golf R, people are going to prefer the Golf R all because of the AWD performance in slippery snowy conditions which are prevalent 6 months of the year.
I never understand this whole "AWD/FWD/RED works best in the snow" argument. Rally cars spend lots of time in the snow, and all three drivetrain formats have success in it. It's not about where your drive wheels are, it's about if you've bothered to buy snow tires, and if you're a competent driver. I drive my M3 safely in the winter, and it works great on snow tires. Also, great video! I would love to pick one of these CTRs up, the car looks like a blast to drive!
@@hax0r117 Rally cars are also custom built to handling the terrain they are and actually a lot of them are in fact going AWD now. Even with winter tires most RWD vehicles still have risk of fish tailing, or spinning out if the Driver isn't careful. FWD cars are heavy front end so there's more traction in slippery conditions. AWD is superior in traction and can be in performance too if it's done right like the GT-R.

Kergami each gear are different in size, when you change gears, the engine has to either do more work, or do less work, whether you change up or down. The higher the gear, the smaller it is. Pretty much, when you go down a gear, the engine has to do more work, so you "rev match" it to the right rpm so that the car transitions smoothly. This is explained to make it simpler to understand. No flame pls :(
+ZRFTECH no. Watch our Type R vs focus RS vs STi review. And watch our Type R track review. There's barely even a hint of understeer when driven properly. It consistently gets better lap times than the other 2 cars in any other reviews as well
as a WRX owner.... I will say that I do have a blast in the winter and I would think that the Type R would not be able to handle ice/snow and wintery conditions as much as I do.... my only drawback.
Man, I'm with you. I got a wrx wagon myself, and i'm in an area that gets a lot of snow, so the type R sounds like a cool thing to have as a new wrx hatch replacement except that lack of awd
i have a tuned 15 Si , i lost my shit when a Type-R pulled in behind me at the gas pump ... shoutout to that guy he was more than happy to pull to the side so i could check it out
FiteMeIrl I agree. The EK has smoother lines and looks more classic. I couldn't deal with the childish looks of the Type R so I bought a 2011 ISF. At 30, I don't want to own something that screams "I'm an 18 year old boy that wants to race all the time." In the Lexus, the cops don't even look twice at me lol.
TheStraightPipes Good choice! I have equal length headers and the PPE dual mode exhaust on mine, and I'm addicted to the sound lol. What mods do you have on yours?
+Phatstuph787 that's awesome. I just 'straight piped' mine, simple muffler delete. I have a video of it on this channel. Sounds amazing, don't want to do any other mods to it
I have an 07 IS250😢 Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the car but knowing it can't be quick at all and spending all this money to make it faster will only make it just as fast as an IS350 is just saddening. BUT for an 07, let me tell you this now, Lexus was so ahead of their competition that this car isn't even close to outdated. It's beautiful, reliable, still has sporty handling, and Japanese luxury is so humble in appearance (high quality without screaming it). Glad to hear you guys like your IS Fs. I hope to own an IS F one day! But for now, all I can do is put F-Sport components in my IS250 and slap an F-Sport badge on it and call it an IS250 F-Sport😂😂😂
The EK9 is a legendary car with a lot aftermarket support, that’s why a lot of people appreciate it more and say it’s better, something like the R35 and the skylines, you can’t say that the R35 is better just because it’s new, history and nostalgia before luxury
I would hope so. Don’t get Doug. His Doug score is infantile. Cant believe he has become rich doing what he does. People are low IQ to watch that garbage.

Can someone explain what Auto Rev matching does?
+Kergami it revs the engine perfectly for you to match the rpm to the correct gear
Downshifting only
Kergami each gear are different in size, when you change gears, the engine has to either do more work, or do less work, whether you change up or down. The higher the gear, the smaller it is. Pretty much, when you go down a gear, the engine has to do more work, so you "rev match" it to the right rpm so that the car transitions smoothly. This is explained to make it simpler to understand. No flame pls :(
It takes the fun out of driving.
It helps people who can't properly drive a manual look like racing legends.
Love your style and sense of humor in all your reviews!
+alpinedb150 thanks!
Has the lack of AWD been a major factor in handling compared to something like an STI or RS?
+ZRFTECH no. Watch our Type R vs focus RS vs STi review. And watch our Type R track review. There's barely even a hint of understeer when driven properly. It consistently gets better lap times than the other 2 cars in any other reviews as well
Gotcha, thanks for the reply!
as a WRX owner.... I will say that I do have a blast in the winter and I would think that the Type R would not be able to handle ice/snow and wintery conditions as much as I do.... my only drawback.
Man, I'm with you. I got a wrx wagon myself, and i'm in an area that gets a lot of snow, so the type R sounds like a cool thing to have as a new wrx hatch replacement except that lack of awd
+drew this is true
i have a tuned 15 Si , i lost my shit when a Type-R pulled in behind me at the gas pump ... shoutout to that guy he was more than happy to pull to the side so i could check it out
0:06 man, is it just me or is the new civic just...too much, I mean the old EK9 just looks so much cuter ^.^
FiteMeIrl I agree. The EK has smoother lines and looks more classic. I couldn't deal with the childish looks of the Type R so I bought a 2011 ISF. At 30, I don't want to own something that screams "I'm an 18 year old boy that wants to race all the time." In the Lexus, the cops don't even look twice at me lol.
+Phatstuph787 that's why I daily an ISF ;)
TheStraightPipes Good choice! I have equal length headers and the PPE dual mode exhaust on mine, and I'm addicted to the sound lol. What mods do you have on yours?
+Phatstuph787 that's awesome. I just 'straight piped' mine, simple muffler delete. I have a video of it on this channel. Sounds amazing, don't want to do any other mods to it
I have an 07 IS250😢
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the car but knowing it can't be quick at all and spending all this money to make it faster will only make it just as fast as an IS350 is just saddening.
BUT for an 07, let me tell you this now, Lexus was so ahead of their competition that this car isn't even close to outdated. It's beautiful, reliable, still has sporty handling, and Japanese luxury is so humble in appearance (high quality without screaming it).
Glad to hear you guys like your IS Fs.
I hope to own an IS F one day! But for now, all I can do is put F-Sport components in my IS250 and slap an F-Sport badge on it and call it an IS250 F-Sport😂😂😂
The EK9 is a legendary car with a lot aftermarket support, that’s why a lot of people appreciate it more and say it’s better, something like the R35 and the skylines, you can’t say that the R35 is better just because it’s new, history and nostalgia before luxury
I like your vids better than Doug's
+ookiichinko Doug!
I would hope so. Don’t get Doug. His Doug score is infantile. Cant believe he has become rich doing what he does. People are low IQ to watch that garbage.
to be honest, this was kinda the video that ensured me buying my type r; thanks guys.
Excellent review XD
Well good thing you brought on your buddy. Great insight as an original Type R owner......
How to fix the shifter... Get driving gloves.
You guys are my new favourite car reviewers! Period. Keep it up you guys!
PUSH ALL THE BUTTONS!
Can’t believe I’m just finding this channel. Content is GOLD. Keep it up fellas. Sub’d
+DoubleOSevan thanks! Special subscriber video coming. Share if you like the videos :)
