Let’s go!
I know they not in the US I think but please do a video on the Honda grace
I hated to see that, because I’ve been thinking about the C-HR as my next car, but after going through check engine light hell with my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Turbo I’m taking zero chances on cars with problems like you described in the video.
⁰
Loved the video ! Keep it up !!
Watching Scotty reviewing a car that he likes really makes my day.
he disses honda in another video?? 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most of the time he is praising Honda so yeah.
This is probably one of the only "modern" cars he truly liked
He is very enthusiastic in this one isn't he lol!!
He sucks
I must say this one of the only cars that is being produced that will appreciate no matter what....great job Honda!
Had mine for a year less than 15,000 miles, Haven’t been upside down yet it’s worth 5000 more than I already owe on it.
That’s a Given
🤦♂️
@@williamshafer6755 Yeah... Type Rs and even the Si... they don't seem to depreciate. 3-year old Si everywhere I look is selling for about the same as brand new MSRP. Just means that you're not getting a new one anywhere near MSRP...
@@eksentrysyti that's all cars these days. Chip shortage creating ridiculous prices.
Literally dying inside at my software job daily, and Scotty always cheers me up.
same haha. We should probably take some of our software money and buy Type-Rs.
You should buy a Civic Type-R because it would cheer you up even more 😉
At least you’re making a good buck lol
Nice 👍
Perhaps a change then ? 🤔
I want *GENUINE* wheels, not forged ones. Damned counterfeiters are everywhere! 😀
Where is FBI?
Good 👍
You want the right wheel for the right car dummy. Forged are way higher tighter clearances then those standard cast wheels man.
@@sbfhawk4343 you missed the joke bud
@xjet
I'm sorry, but you're missing your own point.
One more reason GM lost me as a customer.
Gm doors fall apart
@@timwoodward8113Damn, good one, lol!
@@allentoyokawa9068I've had 3 GM vehicles, they were good once. Not anymore.
But that new z06 vette thoug🔥🔥🔥
@@snow-uq4gx
Undeniably the C8 Corvette is a performance bargain, few could argue its impact on the sport car market. Definitely on par or even better than many more expensive exotics especially the z06, its certainly a game changer.
I feel the that the Corvette is the exception, not the rule. I do own a C5 Corvette still, I love but its had its issues. Don't get me wrong if I could afford a new C8 I might pull the trigger on that, but again the exception. This is GMs icon car, let's hope they put their heart and soul into its engineering and QUALITY.
All that great performance means nothing if it's not a reliable car.
As for the rest of GMs line up, cars trucks, SUVs I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole.
As Scotty mentioned they basically gave the middle the middle finger to its customers on this class action lawsuit about defective wheels, and weaseled their way out of any responsibility. What kind of Sh*tty company does that? General Motors. They got away with it once, they'll do it again. Why would you trust the products from a company like that?
It’s literally like the world wants me to buy a Type R. Thank you. I definitely needed your opinion!
(Update!) I GOT ONE IN CHAMPIONSHIP WHITE AND ITS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. 2018 Civic type R!
I just bought one today for 42k at automation in Houston 2019 5600 miles
If you change your mind, you can always buy me one
@@kaceydillin7367 I must have been the luckiest guy in the world cause I got my Type R at MSRP.
@@kaceydillin7367 I bought mine in Mississippi. Patty Peck Honda to be specific. It was months ago, but everywhere else kept asking for insane markups.
I can only imagine the 2022 type will be $55k
Hey Scotty I live in the England and I have a Honda civic made at Swindon Honda plant. 11 years 95k miles and still going strong. love that fn2 amazing car. Never broken down or failed an M.O.T
I have an fn2 as well, such a good car
@@fenwa592 your so lucky we never got the older type r’s
The Japanese amaze me with their engineering
It's textbook stuff
Absolutely, I've been driving Toyotas, an Acura, and Hondas for decades and never looked back.
Then why are the Germans not following that said textbook?
For the few natural resources they do an amazing job. Now they have to contend with China too.
They sure do! I just bought a new Kubota tractor 🚜!
A type r is my dream daily driver. It’s a civic when you’re going to get groceries or to work, but a fun car to drive on the weekends 👌🏎
I know. But it's so ugly. The newest model looks great though
Mine was fun, and it's fast. It was great to debadge it and put the greddy pipes on it 3 to 2.
@@bnaction mine was my daily, my other car was a Truck
@@vj8452 it’s not ugly, but I am going to be first in line to order the 11th Gen Type R since I missed out on the 10th Gen.
I seen quite a few driving around during winter and I thought why they would ruin their nice Type R driving around on salted roads.
The owner knows this car is going to be a collector’s item. That’s why he’s keeping it stock and still has plastic covering the seats!
NOT THE BACK SEATS 😅😅😅
Yup, Scotty is right, it was made in the UK. But Honda closed the factory in Swindon about three months ago. So there will be no more UK built Hondas. A a collector’s item indeed.
What’s the fun in that if u can’t enjoy u car like u supposed to but I guess everyone enjoys their car like they want I enjoy my car by actually driving it and customizing it as I want
The 2021 Civic Hatchback EX, fitted exclusively with a CVT, comes in at $24,500, while the Sport Touring models start at $28,400 with a 6-speed manual or $29,200 with the CVT. At the top of the Civic lineup is the Type R, which starts at $37,895. The Limited Edition Type R in Phoenix Yellow is $43,995.
Those numbers look correct. This is your time to own a Civic Type R. They are available and you're not getting any younger. Now is your time and the CTR is your car.
As someone who owns a 2021 Civic Type-R I agree you should crawl over broken glass if you have to in order to buy one 😉
Dont forget the markup, I seen a type R that the base price was 37k, but the markup added like 10k just cuz the dealership wanted to, or can, idk
@@happymonkeyfish there is no mark up, over MSRP , at Mungenast Honda South County Saint Louis. You put a down payment and they call you when it comes in.
If you pay $40K for a Civic, you have more money than brains
I've owned 3 Civic Si's and just got a Type R in August. It's not even comparable between them. This is a totally different beast. My only complaint is, While the wheels are made well and look good. They're just too big. 18's or 19's would have been fine. The issue with the 20 inch wheels is there is no wiggle room for thicker tires which this car needs. The Continentals that came with mine are like rubber bands. Don't fully understand the idea they had
Better grip on the skidpad and for cornering, worse for the dragstrip and comfort. It's a compromise they made. And since the FWD drive isn't going to win drag races anyway, they made it into a lap time monster instead.
Holy crap..the Honda community is gonna be so proud.. I know I am!! I love my 10th gen Si lol
Same here! Kind of want the GR86 now though...
@@shaunfishman8685 I can't blame you there, the GR86 is sick.
@@XPlaneMedia im looking at trading my 2013 st for 2022 si what do ya think i know im loosing 90 lbft of torqe and 55 hp but i think it might be worth it for gas mileage advantage 20 avg for st right now
@@zackmandarino1021 I say do it. In my opinion the Si is a better car over all. These motors are very torquey and it will suprise you
@@XPlaneMedia on release id say the st was a better car but compared to the newer si and no new st in united state its a front runner for me that and jetta gli
Scotty if you put it in "Comfort mode" its actually very comfortable, not stiff.
The Type R truly comes across as a great car.
Till it starts overheating
Not for the price 😂 I’d take a v8
They're fun cars... but they're butt ugly! Cop magnets!!!
For small people. Yeah comfortable for someone under 5 foot 5
If you enjoy buying cars that will depreciate very quickly then go right ahead 😂😅🤣. I rather something that will go up in value over time.🤷♂️
Wouldn’t pay over $35k for one but it sure is nice. Wasn’t a fan of Honda until I bought my 2004 Civic Si in 2006. Great driving car, excellent clutch and shifter feel. Still driving it to this day.
Everyone who buys one ends up a lifetime fan bc they are just how reliable they are
So you wouldn’t pay 35k for a reliable performance car??? The most remedial post I’ve seen
@@hushg2000 I agree. Pay what it is worth.
@@hushg2000 Some people would rather buy a junky BMW or audi that'll break after 5 years if that... People I sware.
But you paid 35 for a cracked out SI .
This ride is sweet, but I'm like Scotty I don't buy new cars I'm cheap
Your not cheap your smart.
Alright mr cheap guy, what’s a good car for around $5k-$10k? Need advice for a friend
Thing does a 13.4 STOCK you sure you don't want a new one?
used is over msrp anyway
I found my 05 accord on the side of the road for 2200 that was 60k miles and 3 yes ago :)
My youngest kid has a Type R. Very impressive car. Incredible suspension. Seats hug and hold. Motor pulls well. Only improvement would be AWD. Not as fast as his previous car, EVO X 550hp to wheels on pump gas, but once the warrantee on the Type R is done, game on. There is a lot there already to start with.
His daily is an older civic si that looks like it just came new from the factory.
The AWD would take away the mastery of Honda’s front wheel drive system
Gulf R comes with AWD. A stock gulf R always beats a stock civic type R.
@@Mahesh-bo8lv Interesting the Golf R is being compared to a Civic with an MSRP that's $6k cheaper
@@Mahesh-bo8lv in 0-60 maybe. Anything more than that though. Bye bye Golf
@@samanson2001 the golf runs like a 3.9-4.1 0-60 the Civic type r does it in like 5.5 lmao. The golf r runs like mid 12s in the 1/4 and keeps up with the focus rs. Civic type r is like high 13s
I laugh at people who choose a STI over a Type R. I'm biased but the STI doesn't stack up. AWD from a dig is all they have anymore. Type R beats them in every single category. Even with a tad less power. Plus being a K series you can throw 500+ on stock internals without any issues. Try that with a STI lol
Yep 💯. Import builder here. Absolutely agree. K-Series are indestructible.
@@lancedooley7558 No one can match a K series. I'm at 160k FBO and tuned for 100k miles and not a single issue. While hitting 8.5k all day everyday. No Subie can handle that for that long. Plus a WRX needs to be Stage 2 to beat my little NA 2.0 lol pretty sad
@@k20z3keith7 i agree. Im from Atlanta GA and my buddy owns Atlanta Speed Company and they specialize in Subi platforms and engines. My buddy Jame Emino in Atlanta is renowned for Honda building his company is called Ebtec. 😎 im not famous yet but I specialize in SRT4 Neons and bullet proofing them. I started building Honda's though as well and now do many things.
@@lancedooley7558 That's what's up. Wish I could be apart of a performance shop. I'm just a DIY lurker lol but those SRT4s are nasty when built though. Really sad we don't see many left. I haven't seen one in years
Why didn't the owner let Scotty test drive this beast is beyond me smh owner deserves a kick in the nuts for playing with Scotty
With the stupid high markup on them right now it's understandable
It's 1/600 made definitely would not let him drive it
Honestly, I'm not sure that it wasn't Scotty driving it. When the video is recorded by a phone, sometimes it shows things in "reverse", as if the driver is on the right side. For all I know, it was Scotty driving it; but if it wasn't, I can understand the owner. He cherishes his car, and the plastic wrapping is the proof of that.
it was built in England, so it is a left hand drive
@@josephtaylor6685 it was built in England, so it is a left hand drive
I have 4 Porsche mid engine cars. Including 981 GT4. My 2018 red Type R may be the most fun to drive and certainly most practical. Best bang for the buck I have ever seen.
Speaking of wrapping cars around trees, Everyone remember, your car is only as good, as the tires "contact patch"!
‘And that’s the thrill of it aye’
I actually like racing on balding tires I slide around more in my truck
If only Paul Walker’s driver had understood that 9 year old tires have no grip
@@roma8111 if only Paul walker was dating a 15 year old
@@richardalfaro4933 wtf
I still own my 2003 Honda Civic type r EP3 and love it , enjoy your new beast ✊✊
There’s a red one of these Type R’s sitting at the 7-Eleven around the corner from me. Been there for couple months now and I’ve never seen it move
Mines red and it 2 only moves at least once every 2 weeks 🐴
i have a Hyundai Veloster N, if you like the type r but want to save some money, i love my fwd 265 lb ft tq veloster n. it comes with all the tech, nice racing seats, and it comes with a suspension and an exhaust you can adjust. i keep my exhaust silent in my neighborhood then when i get on main roads i have a bunch of pops and bangs. sounds great. also comes in auto and manual unlike the civic which is only manual. i love it and have had no major issues.
P.S. All the N and N Line cars were designed by BMWs former longtime chief engineer Albert Biermann.
Scotty don't forget about the Honda Civic Si. I have a 2007 with 245K made by Honda of Canada Mfg. in Alliston, Ontario. Great car, I left it stock too. 😀
My 2006 Si is at 160K made in the same factory. Also stock, other than a CAI because the stock air box was all cracked up when I got her.
@@Novaah803 Right I think most Si are now made in Canada even the 11th Gen. at the same factory just starting production.
I LOVE my 2008 Si. Has 274,000 and purrs like a cat. Great, great car!!!!
all of a sudden they became really hard to find.. i think people realized they better buy one for the K20
@@gary4738 Would you believe me if I told you I had original clutch up until 233K and then original starter replaced at 239K... 🙂 Yep I cannot wait to get my 11th Gen.
"Unlike most things in our society, this 'R' actually stands for something." This is such a clever line to start with.
Love my 2021. I work from home so it's not a daily driver, although even if I had to daily the car I would do it without question. The driving experience in this car is incredible and like no other fwd.
I agree I have others to drive, so mine too is not a Daily
The only current FWDs that compare are the Hyundai N models, but they go for a different setup than the Type R and feel different.
@@xXYannuschXx I like the veloster n but haven't gotten a chance to drive one, yet!
really looking forward to the new 2023 - hope they bump production up so they aren't saddled with huge markups...
I would pay to see the list of search terms Scotty has used to find his images
seems like it would be pretty obvious but ok
drifting is part of racing, and you need to know when and how to drift because you can go faster. Front-wheel cars have more limitations in racing than rear-wheel drive cars.
The older honda civics are really good
new type r is ugly and it's a 4 door. give me a nice 92-95 hatchback or even a 88-91 or 96-00. why they have to make a nice car look ugly
@@GuerreroDelInfo I agree.
It's absolutely disgusting to look at.
Absolutely abstract and pointy.
No beautiful lines.
Ugly bumpers with big solid black plastic patches, meant to look like air intakes, that don't do anything at all but be pretentious.
@@DeeDee-pw9pm only good looking one is the 8th gen 4dr si
@@GuerreroDelInfo it's not ugly... A few ppl don't like it
..that doesn't mean it's actually ugly
I like the 8th and 9th gen si, along with the old civics
Yeah all the previous gen Civic Type R’s that came out of the Swindon plant have been amazing cars. Damn shame they shut the doors to the plant back in March. End of an era. When they made the EP3 Type R everyone in Japan was hesitant, to say the least, to buy a Type R built in England. That is until they got behind the wheel of one.
I have wanted the Civic Type-R but there are so many people on the waiting list for one.
The turbo compressor wheel is made of Inconel, which is a very high nickel content (like over 75%). Honda does not “skimp” on such important components.
😲😲😲👍🏻
As a Aerospace and Automotive mechanic i agree. 💯💯💯. Only thing GM didn't screw up is the Duramax 2500HD 6.6 turbo diesel. Honda is the most build car on the planet. I tried to buy one of the 600 cash. The EF and EG are also the most built platform. The S2000, NSX, and the Del Sol were low in numbers. I'm building a 500hp Del sol with all carbon fiber and lexan except front and $3k suspension on a k-series 6 speed lsd. Can't wait. 😎. I know people personally who's gotten way under 10's on a 30 yr old car. Japanese know what their doing. Quality over money. In Atlanta GA my buddies own Atlanta Speed Company specializing in Subi engines and platforms for FRS, BRZ, WRX, and STI's. My other buddy in GA builds Honda's. His renowned and his company is Ebtec which he also is a programmer and dyno expert.
Yep America’s needs to pay attention
Ebtec is a Honda legend 🔥 🔥 🔥
I see so many people saying they will hit 10s in their Hondas just to get toed off the track cause their cars fell apart and couldn't handle the sticky road
90% of Honda owners cheap out
@@Rs3mocha i agree. Mine won't be an ebay build but only premium products made in America or Japan.
And the duramax is an Izesu engine built for gm, they are only partly owned by gm ( maybe it is "were")
I have a Neighbor that bought 2 of these. One for his Wife & One Himself. I didn't know that cost that much. Nice Vehicles.
I can't say about everyone but Honda's gonna die proud with their legacy...
4:28 never seen scotty put down a trunk so softly without slamming it 😂
55 is an understatement!! It’s over 65-70k!!! Got my 21 type r for 50k out the door 🐐Love your vids Scotty
Yeah I got mine in April just before the prices went nuts. But it was still 43,000 out that door. Marked up about 4k .
Got mine for msrp plus taxes SGP color. No markup, told them it was either msrp or no deal. After some hours they agreed on msrp
Bought my 21 for 37,500 back in February before the price gouging now
People are DUMB for spending that on a Honda... Then again, anyone willing to spend more than $20k on a Civic needs a head check.
@@2KCamaroZ28SS you Saying more than 20k Msrp?
I think my favorite part about this car was the trunk! That was just wonderful!
I am obsessed with my 2017 Honda Civic Type-R. Not digging the 11th gens though so I think we're just going to keep the 2013 Honda Civic Si and 2017 Honda Civic Type-R as our toys and then just buy an suv and truck
I haven’t driven ST since I got my license, but I really wanna have a type R .
Cool car, but sorry, I love my v8s and muscle cars in general. Love my Mach 1 and ever time I pass a Tesla I rev the crap out of it!! 🇺🇸💪
Same here. This is the OG rice burner. 🍚
@@labornurse I was thinking same thing. Mach 1 looks & sounds way better, has 50% more horsepower, is a 2 door rwd, and for about same money offers a lot more, plus it too is a future collectible.
The Mach 1 is a beast classic, had a friend with a blue one, that car was a power plant
I'm with you. After a certain age, no one wants to be seen in a boy racer anymore anyway.
@@johnmcmullen456 not everyone wants rwd v8...totally different
Scotty, I'm so happy your channel blew up.
It was between the Type R or Lexus rc350 for my daily driver, I choose the rc350 (definitely don’t regret it), but I test drove the type R and it was 🤌🤌 can’t complain
I would guess the Lexus rides much better?
Yeah, the F sport suspension is great and just the overall look of the car sold me.
@@Elliothyunh nice car that Lexus. Congrats.
rc is the nicer car for sure. congrats
@@lukespack automatic too 😳
I daily drive a 2019 Type R, always in +R mode. Love it. I have a truck for the snow. Of course you need cold weather tires for the R. You also have to be extra careful with the rims and tires. Summer tires are expensive and don't last very long. Small gas tank doesn't stay full very long. It's like having a hot girlfriend that doesn't work and likes expensive things 😅
Scotty you give the Best Automotive Tips, including what Automotive Lubricants & Leak Sealers to use based on your Real World Experience. Thank You. Your Videos keep us Motoring down the Road.
The rear bumper makes it look like A tacky Toy plus a corvette owner can afford to change the wheels but you cant fix ugly
Scotty the great
Best car I've ever driven. You have space, speed, perfect cornering and the seats are perfect. Best buy for me. Also nice that you can buy many parts.
And they wont lose value🤷♂️ They will probably gain value over time to be honest.
I commented that and you said it 5 seconds later my bad😂
This video is very helpful to us buyers. Thank u so much Scooty.
ahhhhh, oh yeah, the Type R. Good luck getting 1 MSRP
How can you hate on GM for the corvette. Its the the best performance car value of the decade
May there come a day when Scotty makes a video on the prelude (if he hasn’t already done one)
He talked shtt about rear steering. Doesn't even knew . Just assumed
I love my 2018 Civic Sport. It's fast, handles great, and has a gnarly growl. BUT damn, it's automatic and I feel lame AF :(((
Man you didn't just get a Civic Type R, you got THE Civic Type R!
Wow, that’s sharp!
The limited vs Touring isn’t that much difference. Have fun regardless and make some money if you can. Will be a fun car for a while…
When this guy talks about cars....I listen. The only reviewer who gives it to you straight about living with the car rather than just how it drives and what crappy pointless gimicky feature it comes with, . I swear by Honda, got the Civic Si....I love it. Never had a problem having owned 7 Honda's now.
Ive seen 2 of these on the road by me here in northwest indiana, things are fresh
Type R overheating issues during track use are well documented. Sorry Scotty, what you have there is not ready to race.
I can't get over the FWD
Just saw a yellow type R wrapped around a pole. This man knows the future and boy is it annoying!
Imagine paying 55k for a car with 300 horsepower 😂
55k for a fwd car 😅
That 300 hp car will outperform cars with 100 more on the track
@@philipmario9809 😂
@@philipmario9809 oh yeah I’m sure it’ll smoke a Porsche with 400HP on the track 😂. It’s a great car, but it’s not worth 55k
For real
v6 2014 Mustang has 300 hp with no turbo. I can get something that is actually worth racing, not a i4 turbo.
Scotty really did a good job selling this car to me. Now all I need is the money to buy it!
it's type R. even then old type R cost a lot nowadays
Same!
Great review ! I wish my 93 Integra Gs-R number 609 would go up in Value. Limited to 2500 in 92-93.
Congrats Scotty, I’ve got a 21 Type R (non LE) and love it. It sees the track once a month mostly at Sebring. It’s one of those few cars that you instantly like and then it grows on you even more over time. I take a set of 18” dry tires/wheels, jack & stands, folding table/chairs and all my gear in the back, feels like a mini race team getting to the track. Not a lot of cars out there that can haul a spare set of wheels and are decent on a track. I also have a 718 GT4 but would need a trailer/rig and that’s just a level of complex I ain’t interested in, so she stays protected in the garage.
Which car do you like better on the track? I have an FK8 I track alot as well.
Top Of the Tops , that car is just a Perfection Engineering. 🔥🔥🔥
I think Honda did an great job on the design of this Civic generation. Love the cuts and angles. And they also did a great job changing the design and ruining this generation with the new 2022 design. Turning it into a smaller accord. Smh
Honda gave full development control to is Racing Development and Research division for the FK7/FK8 and it really shows with this car.
The 8th gen is the best gen ever made
Scotty poppin that V-teccc
I'll tell you what i think about it. Hell would have to freeze over before i had a car payment. That's why i drive a 94 Celica.
"You're stupid if you don't"-Scotty Kilmer
Thats a beautiful and reliable car. Also most importantly will hold its value if not exceed its original price tag if taken car of.....
Scotty, never change!
And yeah, if you just need some stock, non-race stuff, sure! Run cast parts, including wheels and engine/transmission components. But if you're making a race car for the street, like the Corvette or the Type R, put some forged parts in there! Those bean counters are killing everything!
Hey dad, nice car. I got a 2018 civic type r championship white
It's not just a fun reliable sports car that you can take to the track it can also and hold your groceries and your family for fun, designed and built by proper engineers👍
Racing, with today horsepower standards 320hp fwd isnt close to racing.
Great arm and leg jpeg Scotty! Top notch stuff brother 👍😂
Mr. Kilmer, thank you very much for putting together all instructive videos in troubleshooting cars and car reviews over the years. Do you have a website where we can ask questions about troubleshooting certain car problems?
A sports car must have a manual transmission for sure.
Yeah. I agree. Sports cars are bought for the driving experience… & automatics so boring.
Sure glad honda didnt choose to go paddle shifting route like the rest of other car manufacturers
@@TheYellowDart2 in use automatic when I’m foreseeing . traffic ( I have a Krystal Ball ) ha
Ouuu. A phoenix yellow too. This is more collectible.
Scotty looks like a happy child playing with his new toy.
Paying over MSRP for a civic type r is not a smart move... Those things should be selling for 35k and that's it, for 55k your in Acura TLX type s territory.. AWD and much nicer interior and better looking car.
"Oh well the wheels broke...you drove it too hard" haha Definitely something GM and Chrysler people would say.
I’m watching this sitting in my imported 1995 RHD Integra Type R just smiling.
This is my dream car I can't wait til I can afford one 😭 probably gonna go for a older model one tho
Ill sell u my 2019 in 4 years
Keep looking at other cars. There are MUCH better cars than an overpriced Civic...
For this level price, you can easily get a Ford Mustang Premium Ecoboost or a mid level Mustang GT, both of which are more powerful than the Civic R. I bought a Mustang Premium Ecoboost for $40K, brand new this year. A way more fun car to drive than this Honda Civic.
@@abecore And have WAY worse handling.
Honda need a Civic type RR. Like the Mugen RR back in the days.
I like to puff on the Cannabis Cigars and get all schmoked up while watching the Scotty Kilmers videos
Miss my ‘89 Civic Si hatch
It sure sounded tinny when Scotty closed that hatch 😂
It's crap
@@liberals_destroy_everythin2497 the same thing i heard like they mounted it with 5mm screws or maybe it was just the linkage for the special computer command spoiler haha horse laugh
That's due to your crap speakers, not the hatch. ;)
With the wing flapping around lol
I think the wing is flexible . It was the wing that made that noise. Hondas very solidly built. This is a higher end Honda
It would be a fun car for sure! I had a garbage civic with the 210HP type R b18c and it was damn quick.
Unlike most R's in this country, this R stands for something. That was a great line, Scotty.
I would rather take a C8 Corvette over that Honda Civic type-r any day of the week. That's a front engine front-wheel drive over glorify economy car
The word “got” usually means ‘to own’. Not “got my hands on one, but later gave it back to the owner”.
Type R is a great car but any true sportscar will be rear wheel drive or rear bias on an all wheel drive system. Not to mention front/rear weight differential should be neutral
I see those all over in MA. I didnt know they only made 600!
I’m in NH and I used to see them all the time now not so much anymore. Can’t unsee that ugly exhaust lol
Good video! I havent got to that point in my life where i can drop 50 grand on one , but i really like the civic, and my 92 hatch is fun enough for now. You are right about them though, the older civics are noisy and rough but with enough modification they can be fast and handle well.
2 x S2000, Exige S and FK2R. I've owned all of these, they cannot match my old EG Civic ESi (only the SOHC VTEC) on a particular fast road, the Civic just inspires so much confidence and has outstanding visibility. The Exige is too track focused for bumpy roads, the FK2R too heavy and the S2000 too loose at the rear. Keep hold of that Civic!
@@stephenpeacock8592 it does seem to do well on twisty backroads, i just enjoy the whole look and feel of the car . Years ago when i bought it, i didnt want too, i didnt want to be " them damn ricer boys" . But i understand now why people love these things.
Civic needs to start making all wheel drive
