Luv your 2021 Honda "R" review! I'm 68 years old and When I drive it I feel like I'm 18 again! I own a 2020 "R" cosmic grey pearl. Awesome flashbacks! Luv Ya, RJP
I really like that Honda made their Type R to be all manual transmission; the only disadvantage is the electronic parking brake. Bring back that lever !
Honestly I blame the enthusiasts for this one. I've been watching Type R reviews for years because I want to get one someday. The number one complaint I've seen in dozens of reviews was the sound or lack thereof. It was obviously consistently bad enough PR that they tried adding this feature.

"This car makes my heart happy". From an owner of a Type R I think the same every time I drive mine, you should get one Sarah. Most practical super car ever made.
I've watched dozens of videos about the Civic Type R, but this is the FIRST one that convinces me to go and test drive one at the dealer. Your sense of detail (the way you explain the shifter, the engine specs, the body), your subjective inputs ("This car makes my heart happy") just says it all and more. Thank you!
You just have to unplug the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) module. I have a 2018 Accord that has the same fake engine sounds. I disconnected the ANC because I added a subwoofer and some upgraded speakers, and the ANC will have a hissyfit with an aftermarket sub. Fringe bonus: no more fake engine sounds. And the cabin doesn't seem any noisier to me without the ANC than it was with it.
Sarah, I'm so glad you finally got to review one of these cars. I totally agree with you, that hot hatches are super fun to drive. As the owner of a 2018 Focus RS, I've been waiting to see what you thought of the Type R, as the RS is one of its main competitors. One of my neighbors has a Type R and put an aftermarket exhaust on it and it sounds a ton better. Great review, as always. Keep 'em coming.
My husband and I each have one. We drove them at VIR, Road Atlanta, Summit Point, etc. we did go to 265 wheels. Handles great and pulls out of a turn like nobody’s business. Nice review. Thanks. ❣️
I still drive a 93 Honda Prelude SR that I bought new. I love front wheel drive. Still have original shocks ,break pads and windshield with 275000 kms on it. Honda is the best.
I've been enjoying my Type R since 2018. It reliably took me through Europe on many occasions. The 20" wheels are a little too much, but are really food in the summer. The 2020 Type R Sport Line has 245/35 19" wheels, which in my opinion are the better choice. But the small spoiler doesn't fit the car at all. $40k isn't that bad of a deal, considering, that at the end of the 90's, you would pay just as much for a Porsche GT3 with about the same power but way less practicality. And it's a Honda, so you know it is reliable for many years to come.
Great breakdown! I found your rating system to be confusing since it sounded like the number of beans & cookies directly contrasted with what you were saying, but your attention to detail and humor made the whole rating situation a non-issue anyway. Thanks so much for the awesome review!
@@mikeb3172 if that were true, Subaru would have been out of business ages ago. Instead, they are thriving (2014 Outback owner) because we've grown to love the ugly/weirdness because of what's under it.
Holy crap you are friggin hilarious. With a P. I think I mostly watch your videos for your personality, cause you're really funny, but you're well informed too, thanks.
"this isn't total recall" lol yup that's it your definitely my favorite abandoned warehouse Sarah! You should drive my Honda one of these days, it will surprise.
I picked one up last night. 6 miles on it. I’ve been looking at them for a couple years. Your review helped nudge me even more. They hold their value like crazy Off to go clear bra it
You know I think you represent the car culture of tuners quite well...... you have passion and charisma that engulfs you and also the looks like Morticia.
Hey Sarah, I found your channel about a month or so through various car enthusiast/maintenance videos. Been watching your videos here and there, I'll let youtube take me on a journey a lot, and I quite enjoy the vlogs you do. It is just really nice to see your approach to projects and things and love your quality of work. This is just the second car review I encountered from you... gotta say, this is top tier stuff right here. There are 0 seconds that are boring, its super informative, and covers just about every thing I feel you need to know while leaving out the riff raff. Awesome job, I really do think these are some of the best reviews across all platforms. So much is accomplished without drone footage and mounting 80 go pros; its insane that you can convey answers to questions on how the car performs with just a camera aimed at your face. I'm not even remotely car hunting right now nor will I be for quite some time, yet I am still looking forward to checking out some more of these as well as all your content. Thanks for all that you do! Love the content.
My first Honda was a CB 175 motorcycle I bought on the mess-decks of our Destroyer while in port in the Netherlands . (1972) NO , the motorcycle was not there , just the brochure I was shown in order to tempt me to buy it . ( It was delivered to the driveway of my parents several months later in a crate .) My current Honda is a 1990 Pacific Coast with over 40K miles and it runs like a 100 horsepower Singer Sewing Machine . . . . . am very happy with it ! ! ! I have a positive opinion of Honda .
Another excellent job by one of the sharpest, funniest, and classiest car vloggers around. Mostly spot on. I think you might like my '18 CTR better. No fake noise, cleaner look, less nannies. And more attainable versus the marked up new models. Value is there for those who know. Honda sells every Type R they make. Usually at over MSRP. Resale is spectacular. The market gets it. You get it. Don't be so quick to sell your fellow enthusiasts short. For a car that does so much so well, yeah it's worth it. I had a fantastic '17 SI and still stepped up to get the '18 Type R last year. Enough said.
Finally!!! Regarding smaller wheels in the real world, little to no torque steer with 18/19" wheels. We've been tracking them for a couple years with no issues. Also, the HPD developed TC CTR also runs on 18" wheels.
@@superblackbirdrider Doug DeMuro has a video whose title explicitly states the opposite. Sounds like they drive pretty differently, which makes sense given the turbo and the weight difference.
Man. Grew up on JDM, had a civic in high school... but Ive been on the euro cars for many years now. Now at 32.. man I REALLLLLY want a Type R. Have been eyeing the Golf R hard.. but these Type R reviews.. makes a guy want one ya know
“Hot hatches are more fun than supercars. Period.” ABSO-FRICKIN-LUTELY! We need more fun driver’s cars at the affordable end of the market! Make it less about numbers and more about the experience behind the wheel!

I got an SI... just because I couldn't afford the Type-R... but with the full PRL upgraded turbo kit, intercooler amongst other mods... I'm not AS sad anymore about having a Type-R... lol
Always enjoyable to watch your reviews. I make it a game to guess your scores so i was off on your penguins. I figured 4.7 as you would have dinged them for the odd noise generator more.
The problem with that Road&Track article is that they went with a 18" wheel that had a much more aggressive offset. Offset affects your scrub radius, not so much the diameter of the wheel. Their wheel width and tire width were both wider than the stock setup as well.
As I understand it, that gap at the back door panel is intentional. If it had a piece on the door, the air would follow the contour, as it is, the air that hits it is sent up over the wing creating more downforce in the rear.
The Honda FK8 is great. Except you will have to accept the common issues that always come with most sports Hondas . Squeaking clutches that will require a Master Clutch Cylinder replacement, Aircon compressor failure, sensors that may act dodgy sometimes in the rain, potential overheating on the track on a hot day, etc. All in all, still worth it to me!! A great car no doubt!! The only thing that stops this from being YOUR true Honda is that is cries at you to modify it to your liking. That means Air intake, intercooler, complete exhaust system, remap, tyres that last longer ;)
The lawnmower engine is the best among four bangers and the ricer car its in makes other more expensive rear wheel drive sports cars look bad on the track.

Needs a sound generator delete
On the 2020 Type R, it's behind the glove box. Some removal of parts to access it. Then you just unplug it
You just have to unplug the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) module. I have a 2018 Accord that has the same fake engine sounds. I disconnected the ANC because I added a subwoofer and some upgraded speakers, and the ANC will have a hissyfit with an aftermarket sub. Fringe bonus: no more fake engine sounds. And the cabin doesn't seem any noisier to me without the ANC than it was with it.
No, it needs selectable sounds. Like a mosquito noise, or an elephant stampede, or a tea kettle.
