Dude actually REALLY got emotional bout this episode WHILST making it, and cried. now that's a honest down to earth bloke if i ever saw one and is exactly why i already got subbed and absolutely LOVE this channel.
I’m pretty sure 80% of viewers actually teared up when James started losing it. Huge shoutout to everyone onboard burning the midnight oil just to get all these amazing information and knowledge out to the world. Mad mad respect 👊🏻
I'm not a donut OG but I've been really into your stuff over the last year, still catching up. Finally watched this Civic episode. I teared up a bit with you James. Thanks for making the show. You fellas are fantastic.
Holy heck making me cry over here. I love you guys and thank you so much for not only making me laugh, but for teaching me so much about some badass cars and history! For real though you guys rock and all the work that goes into all of your content really shows.
Nolan from donut media is also a djent fan... there was one episode he was wearing a meshuggah shirt and also playing bleed by meshuggah in one of his cutaways
Another key facet of this car is the amazing affordability of ownership.. when I was young and stupid I dug myself into some debt in the 1980s.. In need of a car in 1990 I bought a little red base Civic hatchback (and when I say base I mean base.. vinyl interior, no a/c, 4 speed manual, no power steering, not even a radio in the thing or a side view mirror on the passenger side, etc) and it just ran and ran and ran for a decade until I needed something bigger because we started a family.. but my point is literally nothing ever went wrong with it, and I was able to dig myself out of all debt because the car didn’t bleed me to death with repairs like its predecessors. And now that son who was born for whom I gave up my Civic 20 years ago has grown up and bought his first car, a little red Honda Civic (but his is a sporty coupe EX model with all the creature comforts). Thanks for a great video about a model that will always be special to me.
Damn I’m just discovering this channel as I’m looking for my first car. Seeing how emotional you got at the end was shocking you guys are dope! We appreciate your work and the time you guys put in to your videos.
James I love u man, I love this channel and when u made your speech i cried. This is amazing Up to Speed hit 50 episodes and your hard work pays off because of us, the fans and subscribers, we watch, like and we appreciate the videos with our wonderful comments. We love u Donut Media, u inspire people to get into cars and motorsports including me and I'm only 14 years old. Hope u read this comment because I appreciate you guys. Peace
Bravo man! Another great episode. I fell in love with the Civic with my first gen CRX way back in the day. I drove that thing into the ground but it was a really sad day when I had to let that car go. I did not have a lot of money and with a new family it did not make sense to try to keep that car around after it kept breaking down. Fast forward more than a decade later I am back in the Honda family with my new 2019 Honda Civic Type R! It did not happen over night but it did happen and I could not be more happy. This truly is the BEST Civic EVER MADE! Keep up the great work!
Being able to take my mind off things and just learn about cars has helped me in life more then a lot of other things, thank you so much for putting out the videos y’all do. The hard work y’all put in every video is very apparent and means a lot to me, thank you.
I had a 95 Civic EX that had well over 270K miles when I sold it to my friend. Even up to that point, it ran well without significant issues aside from standard maintenance. I have no doubt it would have made it to 300K and beyond had my friend not totaled it shortly after buying it.
Hey past self, still here but less sad, oh and your a father of 2 now so congrats champ your doing something right. Now I’m here watching this with my first Enzo❤Well it was nice catching up see you soon.
Can't get enough of donut man thanks for the hard work and passion man you guys got my support forever just for this moment appreciate everything seriously
It's been an amazing 50 episodes & it's by far my favourite series on YT. Great to see just how much passion you have for it James! Keep up the great work 😀
how you make this episode , how you find all the details and how much time you spend for all your work for one episode because you always come up with very detailed videos.
i had a 95 and a 98 civic...loved em!!!! when i bought the 98 used, (for 750 canadian$) i drove it about 1500 miles before an oil change...when the oil change was done, the tech told me it had about a cup of oil, and even less coolant!...it never overheated and ran like a dream!!! P.S. you have a great channel and team and deserve every ounce of praise you get!!!
i bought my civic with 175000 miles, and fading paint and some rust. its great, i love it, it got me across the country!! i went 75 mph for 17 hrs at the longest stretch. Doesn't let me down. I abuse it and it still loves me. I cry now that im thinking about it. I shall treat her better, her name is broski. I love my broski. I LOVE YOU TOO DONUT MEDIA! haha im getting drunker by the second.
Another great video, Thanks donut team! Been watching these for ages now. Always had a soft spot for Civics, about 6 years ago I bought mine. It's done over 100,000km, still feels tight, and I honestly wouldn't change it for anything. While looking for my first ever new car, I tried many others, Lancer, Focus, i30, Mazda 3, a Kia, even Suzuki, plus a bunch more that I can't remember, and the Civic was the only one that made me really like it. the Mazda 3 was a very close second.
my student is hospitalised today, she loves civic & mustang. so id sent her this vid & the stang as a form of medication. Thank you James & Donut for the videos.
Thats for sure one thing you get from James and his peers. Most automotive people come off arrogant or above it. Like their opinions mean more than anyone including the designers and engineers of the vehicles. Donut just seems pumped to be apart of it, pumped to talk about it and share history. Something unique with these dudes.
james gotta be my favorite part of donut. dont let it get to your head but if you werent part of this channel i dont think half the people watching would still be here. love you james!!!
It's weird seeing James actually cry and Damn! there were 50 of these :0 . Iv'e been watching Donut ever since the Supra upto speed came and in my mind I pictured it to be just around 20 videos. I bet in a short while there will be no cars that we need to get Upto speed on :P . Another thing I wanted to point out was *The channel is almost at a million freaking sub* , when I first found this channel it had only a bit over a 100k subs and I was like. "This channel deserves wayyy more subs" and looks what it's at right now.
Seriously, Dunut media it's the best car show right now by far. Forget about motor trend or top gear. These guys put you fixed to the screen like no body. Congrats!
*Well thanks... I still remember calling the # and getting to talk to you James P... one of the best days ever. And all I said was that I was a fan and Thank you!*
I never doubted this channel, and James also deserve all the love. Not only I learned so much about cars by the efforts of this channel, but James made it so fun to watch a literal history lesson. Yes, this is a history class and everyone is enjoying it thanks to James 💯👏
10:01 manliest tears ever man. I'm crying to. Thanks for the rad content donut media given us every week. I'm in tears also man. gud luck for hitting 1 Million subs. T_T
You missed when the Big 3 couldn’t keep up with the new emission laws in the 70’s. They told the government it was impossible, and General Motors said that CVCC may work for “toy motorcycles,” but has no place on a real car. Soichiro got so pissed that air lifted a big 350 V8 Impala from Detroit to Tokyo and he had his R&D team make custom CVCC heads for it. Then he shipped it back to the US where it passed the new 1973 emissions standards. Soichiro had to fight and struggle to become a major Japanese automaker. He wasn’t about to take shit from the States.
Master Xehanort so what you're saying is the American muscle culture so permeated the industry that instead of trying to make a cleaner engine, they just deemed it impossible and said "slap a cat on it"
@ernisill It's not that American companies are lazy(er) or greedy(er), at least not more than other countries companies. It's just that they have the lawmaker's ears here and can lobby/bribe to get laws passed that are good for them. Japanese couldn't (in America). But Japan has plenty of it's own tomfoolery with laws and regulations about cars. Every company everywhere is going to try to play this game. Don't blame them. Blame the politicians. If they didnt pass such shitty laws we wouldnt have to worry about this stuff.
Wasnt going to subscribe until i saw the end of this video. Seems like a truly humble man, i know this video is 2 years old now but i can only hope he is still this way. Your passion moved me tonight man, thanks for still putting out great videos
Mike Arredondo yep you’re right since Honda now has the front wheel drive record and tied for the rear wheel drive record out of a 2 L and the competitors use v8s still get the same numbers hmmm;) you tell me what the future has done
Damn dude. I love Donut, and I especially love Up to Speed, but to see that emotion at the end really shows that you guys put your hearts into what you do. Congratulations on 50 episodes.
1st Civic I ever noticed had about 20 police cars chasing it over the bridge from Pensacola to Gulf Breeze. It was the getaway car in a bank robbery.What a great thing to see on my 1st vacation in Florida. I'm 50 now and that happened when I was 18. Every time I look at a Civic I picture that scene.
Andres Valdes B: Another great thing on that vacation: I was making a sand castle that looked like a Corvette and these three beautiful women wearing black bikinis came along and helped me. I was in 18 year old boy heaven. Gotta love Florida!
My nephew just got a 10th gen civic as his first car. Came back to this vid to get some ideas and inspiration… but damn. Donut has really grown so much since this video was uploaded. Pumphrey still being there makes it all the more better cause imo he carried a lot of early donut (as well as Nolan)
This was great like the rest of them. Congrats on 50. And that was too much to handle, like so emotional dude. I love the content keep it up dude. -ur biggest fan
50? I’ve watched 50 episodes or up to speed? Dang. Anyway you guys deserve all these support because all of your hard work. I’ve learned so much about cars from this channel and I really wanna thank you guys 🙏
@@juanGomez-lz6up And the 8th Gen Si was a big deal when it came out. Honda took it's production version to 24 Hours of Thunderhill and kicked all sorts of ass to prove it.
Proud owner of a Red 95 Honda Del Sol and I still remember the first time I drove it, it had way more acceleration that all the other Civics I drove and because of this I call it the Little Red Rocket. Its my favorite car that I have driven and when the time comes, I will pass it down to my kids.
@@kylemontano228 it's awesome, but still can't get over the fact that they're so old now, we only have a good decade or so before they either die or they retire which I don't think they'll ever do. I miss old top gear, when they were younger.
soulassassin0g I hope the maniacs who are going to invade Area 51 find some anti-aging serum and bring it back, every generation deserves those 3 knuckleheads in their lives
If you come to the Philippines there are still thousands of old civics and new civics still roaming on the highway and the streets everyday. Thanks for the video man, I love it!
True. Most corollas (especially the ae92s and ee90) in the philippines are riced. My dad owns one and he got it that way. I'm just happy that he likes it despite how it looks.
congrats dudes, Donut Media is one of the best youtube channels about cars and education, very satisfied that you guys still make some nice ass content, keep it up boys! Hugs from Brazil

Another key facet of this car is the amazing affordability of ownership.. when I was young and stupid I dug myself into some debt in the 1980s.. In need of a car in 1990 I bought a little red base Civic hatchback (and when I say base I mean base.. vinyl interior, no a/c, 4 speed manual, no power steering, not even a radio in the thing or a side view mirror on the passenger side, etc) and it just ran and ran and ran for a decade until I needed something bigger because we started a family.. but my point is literally nothing ever went wrong with it, and I was able to dig myself out of all debt because the car didn’t bleed me to death with repairs like its predecessors.

no shit sherlock!
So cute you crying by the end of the video 💙

Lets not forget he is an actor ha :) not hating on James or the channel, just saying

Average car driver: "100,000 miles is too much for a used car"
Honda Civic owner: *hold my beer*
Bought a del sol 94 with 240k miles, drives like a dream for 1200 bucks.
256 and going strong baby
I had a 95 Civic EX that had well over 270K miles when I sold it to my friend. Even up to that point, it ran well without significant issues aside from standard maintenance. I have no doubt it would have made it to 300K and beyond had my friend not totaled it shortly after buying it.

To add to the story the engine passes without catylitic converters.
Master Xehanort holy shit thanks for this, I'm going to share this story a lot. Good old lazy greedy irresponsible American companies.
Honda made an Impala meet 73 emissions without a scrubber? o.O
@ernisill It's not that American companies are lazy(er) or greedy(er), at least not more than other countries companies. It's just that they have the lawmaker's ears here and can lobby/bribe to get laws passed that are good for them. Japanese couldn't (in America). But Japan has plenty of it's own tomfoolery with laws and regulations about cars. Every company everywhere is going to try to play this game. Don't blame them. Blame the politicians. If they didnt pass such shitty laws we wouldnt have to worry about this stuff.
I chocked at the end of this...wow..love his passion
This guy is fucking amazing.
Wasnt going to subscribe until i saw the end of this video. Seems like a truly humble man, i know this video is 2 years old now but i can only hope he is still this way. Your passion moved me tonight man, thanks for still putting out great videos
Why you make me cry too.
All you need to know is Vtec just kick in yo bhaaaaaa!
Mike Arredondo 😂😂
Mike Arredondo lmao 🤣
Mike Arredondo >barely gets up to 60 after a mile
Mike Arredondo yep you’re right since Honda now has the front wheel drive record and tied for the rear wheel drive record out of a 2 L and the competitors use v8s still get the same numbers hmmm;) you tell me what the future has done
Roam Free Ford figured out forced induction like 20 years ago
So -FuToOre
Congrats on almost hitting a million subs! As a small channel, know how hard it is to put out the content and make it, keep it up!
Shut up nerd
can we have a tshirt that sayys"Everything You Need to Know" that would be a good merch
I was thinking the same. 🤔🧠👉👕👍💯👉👕”Everything you need to know "👈
On the back needs to say “To get up to speed!”
Ikr
Damn dude. I love Donut, and I especially love Up to Speed, but to see that emotion at the end really shows that you guys put your hearts into what you do. Congratulations on 50 episodes.
Up to Speed: Alfa Romeo! (Mainly because of the sudden influx of AR vehicles in the U.S.)
1st Civic I ever noticed had about 20 police cars chasing it over the bridge from Pensacola to Gulf Breeze. It was the getaway car in a bank robbery.What a great thing to see on my 1st vacation in Florida. I'm 50 now and that happened when I was 18. Every time I look at a Civic I picture that scene.
Wade Guidry You could say the Robbers were needs to be more civic minded 😂
Dammit that 70s civic would have given a fight to be chased by 20 police cars damn
Andres Valdes B: Another great thing on that vacation: I was making a sand castle that looked like a Corvette and these three beautiful women wearing black bikinis came along and helped me. I was in 18 year old boy heaven. Gotta love Florida!
My nephew just got a 10th gen civic as his first car. Came back to this vid to get some ideas and inspiration… but damn. Donut has really grown so much since this video was uploaded. Pumphrey still being there makes it all the more better cause imo he carried a lot of early donut (as well as Nolan)
Do not cry James
I was really hoping you would say "Wouldn't be possible without my dad"
This was great like the rest of them. Congrats on 50. And that was too much to handle, like so emotional dude. I love the content keep it up dude.
-ur biggest fan
You made me cry in the end :/
I love how you are soo passionate about what you do... Keep going my guy! Love your videos!
50? I’ve watched 50 episodes or up to speed? Dang.
Anyway you guys deserve all these support because all of your hard work. I’ve learned so much about cars from this channel and I really wanna thank you guys 🙏
i honestly thought this already existed.
Pixel so did I
Pixel you’re probably thinking of the Type R episode
Same
Civic type R episode bruh
Civic type R episode bruh
oof the ending made me cry too :(
Proud owner of a 93 Dx. I absolutely adore this car as it was my first and only project car.
"do you guys realize how hard is it to make this exciting?" LOL
This stung a little because he glossed over the 9th gen si and I just bought one.
juan Gomez I just bought a 10th gen and he only talked about the type r :(
@@juanGomez-lz6up And the 8th Gen Si was a big deal when it came out. Honda took it's production version to 24 Hours of Thunderhill and kicked all sorts of ass to prove it.
Likewise 8th gen owner and sad he glossed over it considering it came with a good motor compared to the EP3 and better geometry.
@@pedrogomez5835 yeah he showed a 9th gen refresh as a 10th gen. I have a hatch sport. Kinda stung
*Fun fact: If you reverse to read civic, it still the same*
That is a fun fact!
Yeah, the word civic is a palindrome
Fun fact: your grammar needs work
Also the word racecar. I learned that on the disney channel when they were promoting the cars movie.
THUNGUNSPRO *X* You forgot a period.
Damn James I wasn’t expecting a feels trip
Proud owner of a Red 95 Honda Del Sol and I still remember the first time I drove it, it had way more acceleration that all the other Civics I drove and because of this I call it the Little Red Rocket. Its my favorite car that I have driven and when the time comes, I will pass it down to my kids.
I love this guy. This is my new favorite car show. Adios Top Gear!
AlPha 36 the top gear guys are back on amazon prime video. It’s called the grand tour. I suggest you watch it because it’s great
@@kylemontano228 it's awesome, but still can't get over the fact that they're so old now, we only have a good decade or so before they either die or they retire which I don't think they'll ever do. I miss old top gear, when they were younger.
soulassassin0g it is sad to think about, their Health is probably declining :(
Facts
soulassassin0g I hope the maniacs who are going to invade Area 51 find some anti-aging serum and bring it back, every generation deserves those 3 knuckleheads in their lives

Who the hell started cutting onions in that room?
*NO MOM ITS A CIVIC SI NORMAL TIRES DON'T WORK I NEED SPORTS COMPOUND TRIES*
PARENTS JUST DONT UNDERSTAND
Let me guess Sliphantom
Purpleguy123?
haha teen car go mrrrrrrrrrrrr to school
Lmao this got me
Bought my first car this week (10th Gen Honda Civic Sport) and just HAD to come rewatch this video
If you come to the Philippines there are still thousands of old civics and new civics still roaming on the highway and the streets everyday. Thanks for the video man, I love it!
Track days here are like 90% Honda and more than half of them are running B series engines.
And many of them are riced. But hey, there are still those that are kept clean
Seth Boltron if we're talking about rice here, it's usually the corollas
True. Most corollas (especially the ae92s and ee90) in the philippines are riced. My dad owns one and he got it that way. I'm just happy that he likes it despite how it looks.
I'd like to see donut make a video about Jeepney's. A lot of them are hideous, almost all run/ride like hell but they're all cool as hell.
What your blood type?
Normal person: Blood type A
Carguy:

AMG, M Power, TRD Sportio, Brabus, etc
