    Tward: you nailed it. This is one of those special Hondas like the S2000 and the 1st gen NSX. Every inch and molecule of that car has been engineered by Honda's best. After watching a few other channels, nobody gets that like you do. Great to hear that they are still making cars like this..

    I drive an fn2 type R everyday and the flatness of the chassis is just what makes an R. The cars feel super direct and perfectly controllable. Some people dont like it because the car is stiff, but because of that they are a blast to drive.
    My car is already 15 years old so I can only imagine how the development has continued and how superb this car will handle!
    Great car and as always a great honest review!😎

    The integrated tach/speedometer seems hard to read. IMHO, two round guages (one for tach, one for speedometer) might be preferred by some drivers. Also I think that protruding touch screen sticks out too much and may actually intefere with the driver's line of sight.

    Honestly this video kind of just irritated me. I attempted to purchase an FK8 back in early 2021. I called around to tens of dealers and finally found a dealership that was getting an extra one for winning some award and would sell at MSRP. They let me know the car was yet to be built but that meant I got to pick the exact color and spec. Well I do all that put down the deposit and begin my wait. I waited 6 months due to UK Covid occasionally shutting down the plant before getting told that the plant was closing for good and my car just never was going to be made. Ok. Not the dealers fault. But the dealer says to make it fair we’ll sell you the first of the next gen we get at MSRP.
    So this car comes out and I remind the dealer of their promise to get me the first of the next gen and my deposit. They proceed to tell me that the first 3 are spoken for but I can get in line! So they expect to hold my deposit for +3 years and maybe then I’ll get one.
    Then all other dealerships are asking absurd markups. Like 30k markups claiming they are only getting a few! Like they were only ever going to get a few. Dealerships are acting like they were ever going to have 30 Type R’s on the lot.
    Sorry rant over. It just pisses me off that I’m 30, have no debt, and can finally afford these things but dealerships decided I can’t. Meanwhile they’ll give their salespeople one at MSRP. Like what bs is that!
