FK8 looks 10 times better than the FL5...the fl5 is just a sedan with an aftermarket looking wing.
Oh for sure!
Same thing I said. Fk8 looks like a supercar, it really is one. The 11thgen civics and type r and weaker especially trying to add many mods making more horsepower
Fk8 looks like a pepboys special for ricer white boys and mexicans so I can see why you'd like it
It was marketed for a wider audience, does make sense considering the price tags as the people that can afford it are not going to be kids. The fl5 is kinda similar to the fd2 which basically looked like the base civic with a wing so on that point I agree. Type r’s of the past always stood out to the cars around them from their own generation. The fk8 definitely stood out the most. But the feedback from NA and eu was that it looked too sporty
I took a ride in this car personally so when you wanna get rid of it, it belongs to me
Oh really now? We can arrange that ;)
Awesome video!! I bought a 2019 FK8 in spring of 2019! I really like it to this day! Prior to my fk8 I have owned 4 different Civic Si’s! In 2009 I bought my first Si! I loved it! Then over the next few years years I bought a 2012 Si, 14’ Si and then a 17’ Si all sedans! My fk8 has 15,000 miles on it and I have kept it stock! have really enjoyed it! I am trying to get an fl5 from the dealership that sold me all my Honda’s in the past! I really enjoyed your video! I am a new subscriber! Your car looks amazing! I love the blue looking forward to watching many more of your videos!! Hope you have a Merry Christmas!🚙🎄👍🏼
Man I miss my '12 SI sedan. That's what I traded in for the Type R. Also, I want an FL5 so bad, but I don't think the wife is gonna let that one fly lol!
Thanks for the sub! I hope you enjoy the rest of my videos and enjoy the progression of the channel! Take care homie and Merry Christmas to you as well!
@@WeekenderGarage that is awesome you had a 2012 Si!! Such a great car!! I’m with ya on wanting an fl5 so bad!! They seem to be pretty incredible!! I am hoping to get one but we shall see! Have a Merry Christmas good sir and an amazing 2023! Keep up the incredible work and God bless! 🚙🎄🙏🏼
@@WeekenderGarageI saw on videos racing that the fl5 is slower than fk8. Also the fk8 looks very aggressive like a super car like a Lamborghinis and porsches
Thanks for talking about the cruise control! I hate my cruise control in my fk8 as well.
Yes sir :)
Do you think they did it incase you knock it. They have made it harder to adjust. Can't think of any other reason.
Love my fk8.. best daily car ever very comfortable
I can't agree more!
Great video bro! I love the FK8 too!
Thanks man!
I have a 2021 rally red FK8 and also went with 35 ratio tires to save my rims with zero problems.
I'm looking to buy one over in the UK. No many around. I've be worried about the wheels.
So 35s help I'm guessing. What's recommended tire wise. It rains alot here 🤣
@@russc5269I live in the U.K. and I went wider as this increases the profile so I’m running 255 instead of 245 but stuck with 30s. Never buckled a wheel or wrecking a tyre. I run in comfort when driving daily and this is in my mind has saved both the wheels and tyres.
Not sure how it works on the 10.5 gen but on my 2017 you just hold in the cruise control. It's like the older analog CC (like my old 2006 accord) which you hold it in until you're going the appropriate speed you want.
The cool thing about this CC though is that it lets you change gears while not cancelling the CC. So you can hit resume and go down and up gears and it will keep the CC in unless you hold the clutch in for like 5+ seconds. Which is nice.
I do enjoy being able to change gears and still have CC on lol
Thanks for the video and the tips. This car is already a legend and a modern-day classic. It looks STUNNING in this blue! Congrats! I think this looks so much better than the new one.
I couldn't agree more! It's definitely already legendary!
@@WeekenderGarage I've seen videos showing where the fk8 is faster than the fl5
Fl5 looks way cleaner but the fk8 looks fun.
@LynnDisclose lap records don't lie. Fl5 is way faster than the fk8. Type r isn't meant for drag either so don't try to pull that lame excuse.
stumbled upon your video and I must say thanks for the review! Also those seats yikes! They definitely should've gone with red stitching and black seats. I just hope I can get my hands on an fk8 one day
I am still enjoying the car and still highly recommend it :) I hope you can find one for a good deal when you are ready for one!
I love the FK8
It’s an awesome daily!
Love it I want One
DO IT! :)
DO IT! :)
The sounds system is pretty good except the subwoofer in the trunk lol that thing don’t hit it at all I couldn’t even tell a difference when I took it out lol. I fixed it though now I got 2 alpine type s 12”s with thier own alpine amps hits hard af lol.
Nice, I bet that sounds great!
And that is how you open a beer kids
for sure!
@@WeekenderGarage congrats on paying it off I bet it feels good knowing she’s all yours .
It does feel good! Just planning on mods now!
Nice wagons.
Thanks! I have 2 more in the garage lol! ☺️ and an EF hatch !
@@WeekenderGarage I have 3. One is my daily, one is a parts car and the other is an auto that we drive around our property that I'm going to K swap. Love the channel Keep make more wagon content. Wagon for life!
Thank you so much! I found you on IG, always love finding new wagon friends!
I have the 2018 Type R sk not sure what kts like with the 2020-up
Newer ones it works the way it should. One click is one MPH.
You can hold on the button for it to go up a few
Yup mentioned that in the video.
Do you have a 3inch front pipe or downpipe and do you have a jpipe for drone?
Mine is still stock. I do have a buddy with those parts if you wanna ask him. @chadweezy87 on instagram
So...the cruise control. I'm now seeing this vid and yesterday I tried it for the first time. It is so weird how you have to hold it cause it caught ne off gaurd lol
I hate it, but I've gotten use to it.
Sorry my fellow human being but I got my fk8 earlier this year and I’m at the 2 minute mark… 😂 wait I have tried to build this car myself all thru my 20s and it’s expensive to experiment 😢
Good info
FWD or AWD guess I gotta watch the video to find out KEK
Oh boi kek
Das Review Match System schaltet sich nur im hohen Drehzahlbereich ein . Und da sollte es auch funktionieren . In ihrem Handbuch steht sehr genau , wann das System nicht arbeitet , obwohl sie es eingeschaltet haben .
I don’t think I even mentioned the rev matching in my video.
The cruise control not being the best is because of manual btw
Newer models don’t have the issues. Seems to be only the 17/18s.
@@WeekenderGarage i have a 21 and the cruise is a bit wonky but tbh this car never goes in cruise ever lol i did it once a few months ago just to try it but other that one time, this car never seen comfort mode or cruise control haha its always in R, such a blast to drive - if i put it in cruise id probably fall asleep
@@quicktoreason2722 this is my daily. Lots of interstate/highway driving and comfort mode with the kid in the back. Different strokes for different folks. :D
haha by no means am itrying to say youre doing it wrong, just pointing out since the suspensions are stiff even in comfort mode
if you want really good comfort mode then you can alwasy swap out your adaptive damping module for the integra type S module - the fk8, Fl5 and ITS share the same module so @@WeekenderGarage
40 grand and couldnt even come with spare tire. My 18 CHR has more features then my FK8.
There are actually a decent amount of cars nowadays that don’t come with spare tires. I do wish we were offered more option for the R. My wife’s touring 10th gen has all the fancy stuff that COULD of easily been offered for the R as well. Just another case of the US getting shafted with imported cars.
That cruise control behavior makes no sense. It doesn't work like that on my '15 Si, you click it once and the speed goes up 1 mph. Also, agreed about the gas tanks- I feel that about my regular Civic, wish I could get more than 11 gallons into it and spread out my fillups
Yeah, the cruise control thing is so wild, but very much so a thing for the FK8. There is a handful of post about it on the forums.
@@WeekenderGarage I have a 21 CTR and cruise control works as it should
It's specific to pre-face lift without the ACC.
@@WeekenderGarage here in the UK the pre facelift 2017 and onward FK8s came with adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, collision mitigation and blind spot monitoring with all the Honda sensing tech. No idea what the US market didn't get those! We didn't get however the subwoofer in the back😂
@@jonathan___4684 it's wild the options they give and keep from certain markets. I will never understand it lol!
That's wild you guys didn't get the sub tho :( I absolutely love the audio system in this car.
Just wanted to say about the cruise control get that checked out I drive a 5 speed honda with and it has cruise control worlds exactly like your wife’s EX so maybe take it to the dealer or an expert never had this issue
It's a known issue with the Type R prior to ACC models. Honda never released a software fix for it to my knowledge.
You have to hold the button down to make the cruise work
Correct, but that’s not how that should work.
❤❤❤❤
🖤🖤🖤🖤
Is it a great car? Sure it is. Is it 60k great? Nope....
Not sure where you are getting this 60k number from lol…
@@WeekenderGarage From every local Stealership in my area....is as bad as 65k on brand new ones. The yellow one is going for 80k.....nuts.
Bought my 2018 Type R for 39k 5 months ago from a dealer lol
Made of suede like stock
@@danstone508 huh?
Lol the young lady in the thumbnail doesn’t look like she cares much about type r’s.
That's my wife, she cares to a point lol! She helped me record it all, so she at least cares that much xD
She also cares enough to tell me not to sell when I noticed the prices going up hah! Because she knows I'd regret the hell out of it later on.
Bullcrap! Sound system is wack!
Nah
