Hopefully u go catted downpipe ( seems likenu wouldnt do what I do which this car needs full catted straight pipe or catless straight pipe. ) then the car is alive fully and not just a deep tone only . Every1 has preference though
Great overall review and appreciate your thoughts. Your title "good as everyone says it is" question not answered in this video, looking forward to your year end summary video
Had some issues with water trapping and suds getting stuck in the rear glass panel. The trim around it was already worn out and would soak up any residual liquids into the hatch itself 😢
I really loved the designs of the FK8, it was much close the 10th gen design, and some of the complaints are things I really loved about it (looks like a transformer? who wouldn't want their car to look like that?). I couldn't get one of those though, which makes me a little sad. But I do have an FL5, and though the looks aren't as good, it's definitely the most fun car I have ever owned. I've never been much of a sports car guy, but the Type R is really a dream car for me.
Quiet power is the best ! If you can achieve it. Louder doesn’t mean faster automatically. Plenty of loud and slow pieces of -- out there. You know who you are. Wannabes putting a fart can on your car, thinking you cool. I’d leave these alone and let the Honda boys do exactly what they’re doing l. It’s pretty cool. You really would understand if you grew up with corvettes tipping out at 165 horsepower and mustang cobras with 145!
Haha, I filmed this video about a month and a bit ago and that time, it looked like he was going to get replaced. But here we are in the summer break and Red Bull is sticking with him.
Type S is definitely nice, and AWD, and has more of the luxury features they don't have in this one. But it's basically the same car otherwise for at least $10k more. Though comparisons, generally, show the shifting to be better on the CTR, from what I have seen.
Its good but not 48K or 52-55K after taxes/mark up good. Lot of other cars you could get that are better new or used. Xdrive M340i would give it the gap for days while being more comfy and better gas mileage. As for track toys you’ll have an easier time pushing power out of a Supra MK5.
M340i is at least $30,000 more expensive and it'll be a fortune to pay just in regular maintenance. Of course there's used cars for better pricing/value but I don't review used cars. Nor modified Supras.
@@MGReviewsBlogno it isn’t. FL5’s were consistently selling for $65k+. You say you don’t compare used car prices. Well then you also shouldn’t compare MSRP prices when a this car doesn’t sell for MSRP. 👍
What does my age have to do with it?? Plus, there's tastefully loud and obnoxiously loud. I think the CTR sounds good but it just needs the volume turned up a little bit.
Fantastic car! 18k daily driven miles on my FL5 in 8 months. Exhaust and intake really awaken the car for auditory stimuli.
@@VidNibs AWE touring, and pipercross intake. Minimal drone, awakens under boost, and intake provides great induction noises
This is what I love to hear man. You buy a car to drive it, not let it sit in the garage 💯

Any interior rattles? My 22 sport and 24 si rattles like crazy in the door panels and seat belts
Dammmmm 👍🏾
One of the great of all time
I’m enjoying mine! Probably the best FWD car I’ve ever owned. 😊
The Checo reference didn’t stick to well 😂
Haha, at the time I filmed it, it really looked like he was going to get booted.

Thanks!
I thought that by stating it could be my car of the year contender answered the question.
12:14 what...
Very nice car from honda, love the new design.
This car is neat. I’m happy with my 2014 civic lol. She gets me to work. :)

Honda cared and engineered the FK8 very well. I own a FK8 and the FL5 just hasn’t grown on me.
Yet you still here 😊
@@BrzBoyz831 I’m alive why wouldn’t I be ?
@@Felix-hj3tv don’t mind me , I’m just being silly on the internet 😅but fr though, if the fl5 is cheaper than the fk8 anyone would love it. 🤭

Why does no one ever mention the car has wireless Apple car play and Android Auto.
Except I did mention that it has those functions at 11:05
@@MGReviewsBlog My bad big dawg.
nice joke re Checo 😉

@@MGReviewsBlog yeah, very strange decision, but it seems that other guys of RBR Team are no so good for dr Marco...
the exhaust sounds like the 2010 Camry
I'll take an Integra Type S in black, thanks
Actually the Integ is abit slower in the 60's for any reference and John Cena likes Type R's lol...

@@BaresarkSlaynethe integra type S is not AWD bro
@@lons5472actually the integra is slightly faster in a straight line.
@@ROVA00 That's funny. I read this was AWD, but I just went to the Acura page and built it. You are right, I stand corrected.

Lol yea FL5 garage,please dont buy it for the price. Go back on the highway and honk 3 times on your automatic.
I love my FL5, it’s 100% worth the price. It’s also not very common ca to see. Almost like it’s an exotic.

@@kevinlindsey9537I see them all the time lol
Aren’t you a bit too old to want a loud car???

Too expensive. Next.
Haha, wait until you see the video I have coming in 2 weeks time...
Broke ass.
Bought one. It’s amazing
Worth every dollar
Overpriced FWD 2.0T Civic
how is it overpriced tell me something that's better? in price range? This car smokes bigs on tracks
@@saucey99it’ll smoke your GTI and last longer too
Sure is.....
