- In this video, I'm testing out the new 2023 Honda Civic Type R. In a world of 400bhp 4wd Hyper hatches - can this 325bhp Front-wheel-drive Japanese hatchback compete against the likes of the Mercedes AMG A45 or the Audi RS3? Especially at a questionable price of £48K.
Well that's what we're going to find out in today's video.
Enjoy

These consistent uploads are truly mood lifting , you’re gonna prosper Sid
😂ok bro
This new Type R is a definite improvement on the old model, especially in terms of styling 😲😃. Pitting this up against the RS3 and A45 would be pretty cool to see. Another awesome review Sid 😄
Good video!
I suspected the FL5 Type R to be one of these truly special cars one would actually consider buying in a minute. Hearing from you this kind of high praise solidified this thought.
Any chance you will do a video with a GR86? Would love to hear your thoughts on this one as well!
Cheers✌️
Stay posting Sid! don’t make the mistake of stopping again! you could have already been up there with the big boys.... with time :)
I’m not going anywhere this time :)
Thank you Sid for this fantastic review and being honest as usual.
It was a pleasure to meet you at the CCD event and chat for couple of minutes. You are such a down to earth person!
Great review and looking forward to a comparison video
Excellent video Sid! Keep up the good work.
Love the FL5, very pricy but a pure drivers car, so much more involving than typical Bradford mush RS3 for the same money would love to get behind the wheel
This car looks awesome. Performance is unbelievable. I'm in love ❤️ But the price breaks my heart 😂 Great review👍
Great review. Honestly so we’ll put together and articulated.
Great video, Sid. Diffently do the comparison
Def wanna see a RS3, A45S and Civic compare. Throw in a GR Yaris just for good measure if you could please. I own a GR Yaris and a Morizo Edition GR Corolla so I'd be keen to see how this thing goes up against that lot, as I'm seriously considering adding this Civic to my stable. Cheers
Great review. Really want one of these
You my friend... Depict exactly how I experience cars. I've had the Fiesta ST (2014), 2014 Opel Astra OPC (Vauxhaul Astra VXR to you), and the 2019 Megane RS Cup... And the best experience for me was the ST. CRACKING! car... The bigger hatches dampen the feel a bit. I for one hate the 4 wheel drive varients. But, the feel when pushing on in the ST is second to none. An absolute riot.
Thank you for doing what you do mate. For not getting into too much manufacturer detail and sharing your feel and emotion of cars. Brilliant!!!
Great review💯🎯🔥
Cheers 👍
Hi Sid
Yeah great review.
Just a few things might need clarification. Only seats 4 not 5 as you stated.
Also you said no longer available (to buy). With respect probably depends where you live albeit would concede they are difficult to come by and there seems to be waiting lists in many if not all markets.
Btw I picked up one in Sydney, Australia in February and simply adore it!
Cheers.
Harry
Great to see more content from you. ❤
👊🏽
Great content yet again!
Do it, do the comparison!
Wild bit of kit that, I like the more restrained look
I have a GTI Clubsport and was looking at this as a replacement, glad to hear the comparison.
5:17 the Porsche mob got to him before he could finish that sentence 😂
very comprehensive. review and entertaining!
Thank you! 👊🏽❤️
Great vlog, cheaper than a gt3 but hardly affordable! 😂 Yes I would like to see a comparison between the 3 👍
nice one Sid!
You did promise a car that would topple the almighty Clubsport S and the Type R does certainly deliver! Can't wait to get behind the wheel of one, you make that precise gearshift sound almost magical.
Great review, subscribed.
👊🏽
Great vid Sid. You didn’t mention the sound of the FL5? It came across a little synthesised in the cabin but be good to get your thoughts, cheers 👌🏽
Would love to see a comparison between this and an i30 N
I hope the 5th person likes sitting on cup holders. Least they do a dump 😂 BTW $72,800 drive away in AUD.
I have heard from a couple of mechanics in Japan that a big downside of these cars is a relatively flimsy spot-welded chassis. While they handle brilliantly when new, track one for a year and it’s done.
LMAO 😂
Those mechanics must be Chinese lol
The FD2 used the same process glue instead of welds and its still fine after 10 years.
You really thibk Japanese people would make something unworthy!
Great review, arguably the best hot hatch on sale. The price is steep though. The FN2 type R really aren't that bad at all. Especially for the money they can be had for.
Brilliant! But I ain't paying £51k for a Civic! They've already put a price increase in since its launch which is just taking the piss!
i have a RS3 8V.2 stage 3 and i drove a Fk8 and really loved it :) nice to see you think this is even better...i might have to change haha and it will be more reliable for sure than the Audi
Would love to see video with this and ep3
Looks like a yobs car I'm a bit too old for that, i'll take the Cayman. Do you do the sims Sid? That and a bit of proper racing as well?
Awesome content thanks! But it’s too big for the UK
Out of respect mate you make amazing videos but I’ve got a question? How did you get into car reviews? And also how can I do it? 😂
The Type R thing is not for me but coming from Sid is a clear indication that it isa good hot hatch which is hardly surprising considering Honda antecedent!
I would 100% like to see a 3 way battle
Better gearshift than a manual GT3? That’s a big call.
A comprehensive comparison Type R, RS3 and A4 please!
Looks like it's too manic for our speed camera loaded roads. Both in the UK and here in Melbourne where 1kmh over a limit is huge fines and demerit points. Great colour combo.
so if it was your money, for 35k a used Clubsport S or this at 48k. what would you get, is the FL5 that much better?
Great video bro, i seen one yesterday driving through Aylebsbury, could that have been you? Keep up the good content ❤
They should bring back the FK2 quad exhaust system back as they looked better than the triple on the new version
What about the Yaris GR...?
+R suspension mode can be scary on not so good B roads 😄
Blind spot system is really too sensitive and overcautious on all current Honda models.
Whats that beeping sound?
The FK CTR drives like it should be wearing a Porsche badge. Unfortunately the engine note leaves much to be desired because it's devoid of character. If I could have the CTR with the personality of the Veloster N it would be perfect.
Soon come FL5! Looking forward to my upgrade from the FK2 soon, the FL5 is in another league compared to an RS3 or A45S they are fast yes, but it's just floor it and go no drama no excitement, they get launched into oblivion farting up the road everywhere they go😂😂😂
a FK2 is not a subtle car but when I'm making progress I'm waaaaay under the radar compared to the German hatchbacks, would love to see a comparison on track just to see what the difference is 👌👍 Make it happen Sid 👉👀💯
Thank you 👊🏽
Well said. I’ve recently picked up my FL5 and I feel like every RS3/A35/45 owner wants to blast me at the lights to prove some kind of point. Could care less. For me it’s about engagement and how the car makes you feel not who can floor it the fastest at the lights.
@@washout04 Enjoy in good health! How are you finding it? And did you come from a previous Type R if so how does it compare? I really like the interior/dash upgrade it was the one area that I felt the FK2/8 was really lacking.
im getting a rattle from the dash. are you getting the same problem?
This review makes me want a Civic Type R like Harry Metcalfe made me want (and buy) a Clio 182 Trophy.
Honda have been brave in terms of pricing because alot of people I feel will go for German. The Type R is already pretty rare on the road.
ITS 80K HERE IN CANADA WITH ALL THE MARKUPS AND IM STILL THINKING ABOUT GETTING IT LOL WISH I CAN GET IT ON THAT PRICE
Great video sid
Thank you 👊🏽
Ill stay with my fn2, fl5 looks incredible but stupid price
You can't fit five adults in it Sid. It's only a four seater. But I agree it is an outstanding car.
Unless you swap in rear seat and buckle from the hybrid 😉
Yea you can stop nitpicking 😊
@@volkz247 Exactly!
@@volkz247 - it’s not for adults 😉
@@JBOsurf - Not for adults 😉
Yes to a comparison with the RS3 and the A45s! Top content as always Sid 🫡🤘🏾
Make that comparison video against the rs3 and a45. Type r wipes the floor with both on track for definite.
i doubt that will happen hes now a nobody
@@youtube2kwatcherHater
the acura integra type s wouldve suited British roads more tbh. Better car all round basically except maybe track use
If you’re bothered about 0-60 times “Well sod you because you can’t drive” 😂 spot on
😂
Lets see the new video 📹 👀 🤪
Top donny
I dont know what it is with these I really want to like them and I like what Honda are doing but they just dont interest me in the slightest
Type R or the GR Yaris Sid
Hmmmmmmm
Great review, get the RS3 / A35 around a track and the CTR will smoke them!
No it wouldnt.
Sick car, but the price tag puts me off. The FK8 is far more appealing to me.. but going from your last video, could you get a MK5 VW GTI and modify it to be as quick for a fraction of the cost? Probably
Its a four seater my friend. I own one :)
Yep, I know now :)
Def want to see this bs the RS3 and A45, two other cars I’ve always wanted but the Auto only puts me off slightly.
Working on it 👊🏽
@Sid North
Do you prefer the Civic Type R or the Integra Type R❓
You won't find one for sale for £48k.. more like £54k
# MAKE IT HAPPEN
DRIVA DAVE vs SIDEWAYS SID
Drift off
It wouldn’t be worth Sid’s time
@@andymarson i agree bud,i just won't to set the record straight with all these driva dave fan boys going on how driva dave the best street drafter since sliced bread...i mean daves good but sid wow come on if you know you no
@@0117NUMBER1 Not to blow smoke up Sid’s arse but he is a driving god. The level of car control this kid has and from what I can tell that he doesn’t come from a racing background is truly something else.
Sid is more of a rival to Misha than Drive Dave - he’s truly that good. His ability to just jump in any car and drive straight up to the limit is something else.
I just wished that Sid uploaded more videos on TH-cam because there’s no doubt that he would hit a million subs!
@@andymarson finally someone who knows what there talking about 🙌i take my hat of to you ,if i had a hat,
Now we going there are we sid vs misha i never thought of it like that
INTERESTING
the dashboard rattle is crazy on this car. 🤦🏻
🔔🔚
😘
Want 1❤
Basically a Honda accord type r
no matter how good it is ... still 15k overpriced IMO.
How much for a honda 😮😅 no thanks far better cars on the market for 50 grand ...😅 plus did he say wile on the phone .. you shouldnt be driving wile on the phone ..😮
Looks ugly even if it’s good
These honda type rs keep gettn RAVE reviews and have been for years...there isnt one BAD review about the last 3 versions....but honda have let theselves down by making them so ugly.....if not so badly designed they would have sold 3 times more of them.
It looks way better than the last one, more grown up but that being said, it's too expensive, not faster than the previous one, still a 2l fart machine and still fwd.
