No
Yes
I miss that series
James
They arent critical enough in my opinion, only showing positive things like there wouldnt be any downsides.
I miss when you guys used to upload every day. However, I definitely appreciate how insane the quality of your videos has gotten. Even if you only uploaded once a week, I'd still watch every video.
Hopefully after Hi-Low ends they can get back on schedule
I didn’t even realize they weren’t daily
they upload more than 1 time a week... they have like 4 or 5 different kinds of topic platforms
Was just thinking about when they did too.. But their quality has always been top notch.
all the shows slowed down bc of hi-low i think, hopefully they go back soon tho
The rear 3/4 view of this car is absolutely stunning. Complete opposite of the last gen. Fender flares are so smoothly rounded, tri-tip exhaust stand out so nicely against the diffuser, and have a nice satin finish this time with the bigger pipe in the middle. And the rear wing is perfect. Just looks amazing from the rear and rear 3/4. I'm guessing 333 HP
The same reviews about the 2018 Accord was said about it's sound system, and it sounds good to me. These car makers don't always put much concern into a system that can be upgrade by aftermarket systems. Another thing, I'm glad they made it longer, bc i'm 6'3 and I like to be sure that tall ppl can fit in the back seat bc my son is tall also.
100% agree with the knob situation, having a quality feeling piece of hardware to interact with will always feel infinitly better than just a touchscreen.
not to mention how much safer it is to be able to feel for a knob without taking your eyes off the road vs having to look down at a screen to click through three submenus to turn ur AC down three degrees
@@emery_orion true
@@emery_orioni couldnt agree more with you. I was searching for a new car here in Brazil and i think its ridiculous how i couldnt find a single model in my budget with a less tech focused interior without having to go for the absolute bare bones versions. I guess i will have to buy an used car again lol
@@augustooliveira5588 get an sti. It’s an analog driving experience. Probably will be one of the last to feel that way.
@@emery_orion absolutely!
330hp sounds about right, "A LOT!" more power to a manufacturer would definitely be like a 10% bump
Glad I get that with a junk 8th gen and a super charger
Thats not alot tho
10% hp is a pretty substantial bump in power. Going to be interesting to see the fuel efficiency numbers.
@@JayAR_YT yeah but it won’t be reliable so 10% is indeed a lot for a car like this stock
The euro one already had 320hp. So 330 wouldn't be a lot.
I'm absolutely in LOVE with this new model, from bumber to bumper!!! Have they said when they will be accepting pre-orders from the manufacturer yet?
Nolan, that cover on the intake is one of two things.. that little box is most likely a noise suppressor to keep the intake noise down. If it's electronically controlled it could have a baffle system that opens up wide at full throttle... OR.. it's something to chill the air after it being heated during compression.
It took me 5 years to fall in love with the FK8’s styling and right when I do they go back to a cleaner look 😭
It took me 5 years to accept its styling and when they finally go back to a cleaner look, I'm convinced that the fk8 didn't aged well.
Wait till someone makes a bodykit
@@johncarlofernandez2698 My complaint with the new one has to do with the base Civic styling. Only Type R specific complaint is the wing doesn’t match the rest of the car.
@@yung_barbone I’m all about keeping that kind of stuff OEM, especially on a Type R.
@@LOGEZZZZZBROok man, your choice
The Civic Type R look progressed the same way gaming laptops did. It went from flashy and plasticky to something more reserved but still shows off its ability. Just look at modern Razer laptops, they're now going for the more "mature and business-like" look and I feel like this is going a pretty similar way.
I hated the FK8 until I randomly bought one in a hungover stupor of irrational decision making, and then it turned out to be the best all around car I've ever owned and today I think they look great. It's a ridiculous car that owns it. I love when designers take chances and that car is always going to turn heads, it's a hardcore classic. This is so much less interesting to me. It looks like a better car all around, but I don't know if the character of a legend is there. Maybe I'm just older now.. all I see now is $1600 worth of tires that pick up nails and screws like bubble gum and last 10k miles if you don't drive it like you're supposed to and you get lucky with the location of all the flats you're gonna get lol. I had 8 flats in 10 months in my factory FK8 tires. I downgraded after that to be able to get to work on time. Get off my lawn!
Are you fr💀💀💀
You did not just say a FK8 looks "reserved" compared to a EK9 did you?💀
Good analysis, pretty much every industry started going after that mature look in the last 5-10 years or so, newly built housing, every day appliances, and even power tools (newer tools are pretty much all electric and lightweight with a minimalistic design). The smooth simplistic and modern style is really favorable among our generation and it takes less time and effort to put together.
Steve Jobs knew that long ago and made a simplistic phone with modern technology and that's why Apple is so successful today. the I phone was released in 2007, check out the best selling phone of 07 "Nokia 6500 classic". Worlds apart
I feel it more progressed in the same way millennials have into being a 40 year old dads that are still trying to look young. Because this looks like they stuck a wing and hood scoop onto a dad car. Definitely didn't nail that mature look as much as the Golf does, and looks a lot more boring the Elantra N and GRs.
Love my 2014 si coupe in clear coat white. It’s fun to drive and has an actual engine that is big enough to pull without a turbo. I’ll be getting a type r soon but you can get a 5.0 mustang and still have a couple of G’s left for aftermarket parts.
The only "fake vent" on the FK8 is the fog light shroud. The side vents bring in air for downforce, reducing drag, and also work with the hood scoop to siphon heat out of the engine bay all through the fenders while exiting out the rear of the front fenders. The brake ducts are underneath the fog lights and actually channel air to the brakes too.
The FK8 also has the same "turbo mounted to collector integrated into the head" too, so that's also a moot point for "probably how it makes more power than any other CTR before."
I can't help but feel like this car really looks like a Dodge Charger... especially the headlights and tail lights. Maybe some Kia Stinger vibes with the taillights too.
Yep. Or more like 2007 Ford Mustang GT.
Ikrrr thats what i was gonna say
I thought the same thing. Glad it wasn't just me.
The base model in orange that they showed kind of reminds me of the last gen M2.
Yes Yes Yes. Was thinking the same. I don't also get why most of these reviewers don't like the previous generation. I liked it a lot. These new gen ones look like modern basic sedans
When they showed the engine with the turbo integrated into the cylinder head, I thought of the 3S-GTE with the turbo mounted on the manifold. That was a built engine out the door. Honda modded their engine and tuned it for you, maintaining OEM HONDA reliability. Can't wait to find out what they do for the Integra Type S.
Is it going type-S or R?
That gopping "Honda" i.e Acura Integra?
@@ajourneysaved4311 for acura cars its always been type s
@@ducky1870 no it hasn't. The original type R in america was the Integra. They didn't do type-s til rsx.
@@ajourneysaved4311 youre right, i forgot about that
I wanted a STi for the longest time. Huge in to the whole Evo vs STi war.
26 now and got a Genesis G70 3.3 because I matured and didn't want rally anymore. Still wanted speed, but needed practicality more.
I work at Honda Dealership as window tinter and these cars are so nice...I love when one comes in, jist tinted 2 for showroom. Tinting them makes them look so clean and there fun and easy
What a beautiful piece of machinery. I love how it’s gone to a more humble appearance rather than screaming “I AM A CIVIC TYPE R” like the previous gen did. The interior is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. The simplicity is just so satisfying. 10/10 would buy.
Nah i like the old one by far more this ones is just as generic as everything else
@@Koel_Hellion huh it's not
@@luke7099 it definitely is
@@Koel_Hellion this is a return to classic civic styling.
@@novathepug6692 so more generic?
I still like the old design just wish all those vents were real. Also really curious because the wheel base looks a lot different how much weight did they add and will that result in poor handling. Have they still got torque steer down. This is going to be awesome to compare the old to the new.
I love last gen. Best selling amongst millennials and lasted pretty long from '16-'21. I'd still take this one over a 2015 but it's definitely trying to be toned down for boomers.
@@StealthNinja4577 yeah and I guess I just don't dig that like make that the si and keep the type R focused. Chop some weight add some hrsprs and for crying out loud make it exciting the Gundam look was kind of a selling point to me. But the masses like what they like I guess.
It looks like a scion
You can easily convert the vents.
The mk4 supra has more fake vents, there for you to convert if you modify/build more power.
I dremeled by vents on my 10th gen xD
Man just wacthed the whole video really loved it, keep the good work and vibe💯👌🏼
I love how whenever a company releases a new car they are always like "It's the fastest one yet!"...Like yeah that would be pretty bad if it was slower than the previous model lmao, good job I guess
As history has told us, regulations lead to much slower cars sometimes. Technology is there. Epa says otherwise and ignores tire pollution as that effects big businesses rather than the consumer.
i mean, look at BMW with their new M135I. The previous gen had a 6 cylinder, but the current gen has a 4 cylinder... So it's not exactly true that all new models are quicker than the last
@@xtalofficial06 Toyota MR2, Mitsubishi Evo X, it´s much more common then one would think. 😅
Even the new integra has the SAME HP while being heavier then the old one, be it, much more torque due to forced induction, but not what we hoped we would get..
Subaru has done this
Oh guess who is guilty of that exact thing
Honda making type r themselves
First three generations were all slower than the previous one
I loved the type R previous aggressive design. This looks like an aggressive kia optima
I prefer this understated design way more. The last few type Rs looked like people with no taste slapping fake vents everywhere. This harkens back to the older cleaner type Rs which I like way more.
MORE VIDEOS LIKE THESE!!!! Felt like I was checking out a new car with the homies. Can't tell if I really like the type R, how great this review was, or both
Glad I got the 2019
for the volume knob

@@krinos1 KrinoS, i bet the 2023 Civic Type R can go faster than 1999 Viper GTS.
@@purwantiallan5089 whar has this got to do with my comment
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ repent to your moms!
I’ve found new respect for Nolan since I saw him drifting like a boss low car 350z. Keep the good work, my guy,
Gay 🤣
@@GizmoFts Enjoy school little guy.
that box near the turbo looks like a variable intake manifold runner.. they have them on their v6 engines.... vacuum controlled flutter valve..
I still prefer the look of the old one. I liked that it was angular and stood out compared to the regular Civic. It's funny that they mention it looks like a gun damage head since I like the look of those robots. It's a design that I enjoy. This one is way more subtle.
In pictures it looks a bit weird but in person its actually goes really well with its angular looks lol coming from a forever fk8 owner
I agree bud!
Yah. U r definitely minority brah
"gun damage" 🗿
@@proxyhx2075 probably autocorrect from a phone.
I don't like the new civic visually, however I do like how they focused on function rather than just looks on this one.
Looks like a BMW had an affair with a Corolla sedan
I don't get why the design is so unpopular, I love how it looks.
I think it’s a big improvement over the old generation regardless.
@@wherearemytesticles better than the old one for sure, I actually get some old civic vibes from that one and I am all for that
Look like mustang copy
love the tesseract part
That rant about growing up, thank you Nolan. I feel you.
Not that Honda cares, but the interior and rear-half of the car are a great improvement. Personally, I prefer the front-end of the previous gen, still love the crazy look
They can't get the rear end right. The previous one was too busy, this new one is too bland and generic looking. There is nothing there that says "Honda" to me. That rear end could have a modern Kia badge on it and it would be equaly fitting.
@@mattmattmatt131313 Honda is going through a bit of a design slump. The only car they absolutely nailed is that Honda-e electric. It's not super my thing but the car is very balanced and has lots of distinctive features.
@@polymerizedrecords Oh yeah the Honda E is a great design. One area where they are really strong at the moment is interior design, both in the E and also in this new Civic.
That’s why I bought the 10th gen as soon as I saw a leaked photo of the 11th.
I absolutely hate the look of this.
@@denang501 SAME BROO!!
Absolutely love this
I work for an Acura dealership and the new 2023 Acura integra has the same dashboard setup with the infotainment unit and vents
I absolutely love the styling of this civic generation, and this type r is fantastic.
Simplistic with no stupid fake vents and over styling, while not being boring at all. Just nice, and clean.
@@grimsquad273 I’m completely okay with that, I think the regular civic doesn’t look bad at all either. Also, you can say the same for the EK hatch and integra, both Type R versions of those cars look extremely similar to the non-type R cars too.
Only notable visual difference between regular and Type R is special paint, wheels, seats and maybe minor bumper alterations.
Loving the new type r styling, might even be my new favourite civic generation tbh and I’m not even a Honda boy
@@grimsquad273 true that
Ya this civic type r looks better than the last gen for sure. It’s still gonna be underpowered when u look at the other cars u can get for the same price. Looks sick though and once people start changing the down pipes and tuning intercooler and all that u gonna see a bunch of them with 400 plus whp.
True I think this civic looks better than the previous one.
The only I’ll miss is the hatchback option but besides that this one looks better
Not a big fan of the new Civic but I like the new Type-R version a lot. Not sure if I like it more than the 2017 Type-R though.
Same with me
TBH I think this new one looks off. The hood has almost an overhang over the front which is weird, the rear quarter glass goes into a line which is weird, and finally this Civic *looks* big, and kinda is. It’s the size of an Accord from several years ago.
Same
And the “last gens” are so cheap used right now. Not sure it would be worth a mark up to buy a new one.
I'm loving the new look vs the outgoing Gundam R/C car. This looks like something an adult would drive to me like he said lol
That head on a k24 bottom end and a the biggest Garrett cold side you can fit in that block mounted housing. I don’t got the funds to do it but I’d imagine that would be the ideal setup
Yooooo!!!! Droppin' TesseracT in the video! Amazing metal band from the UK. So much more respect for this channel. I sent the link over to the drummer! Thanks for repping a fantastic group 🤗
3:43 side view gives me newer BMW sedan vibes, and from the back it looks like a Kia stinger. Front kinda looks like last year model of the accord with Acura headlights lol. Interior is probably the coolest out of this car
From the side looks alot like a dodge front end in my eyes haha
I said the same thing about the interior. The dash resembles a bmw. Not sure how I feel about it.
Looks like a Acura TLX 4 door wagon. Plus its a type r. R for racing. The comfyness of the seats, climate control button feel and radio/sound system isnt what people are looking for in a Type R.
Looks like a VW fucked a beluga whale
I love having knobs over touch screen when it comes to HVAC controls and it seems alot of car companies don't understand this, I lole the user feed back of a knob vs touch screen that you have to dig into sub screens to get the air pointed where you want and to go from regular ac to max ac vs just putting a button for that.
Yea same and you dont need to look at and tap around ui, wich sounds more dangerous than speaking to phone while driving
bet the sound system sounds great playing the Deftones Nolan!
I liked the previous bodystyle they had (Fc1 owner), all the angles gave it the sharp look of "get too close & I'll cut you".
It’s not bad looking, but the FK8 still holds a special place in my heart
i love both of them
@@alvthatscrazy name one 10 year old that can drive stick. Yea right keep driving your automatic.
Same. It’s way to muted.
@@nollienick1121 means its up to your imagination with mods to get it how you like, last gen civics all looked the same for the most part
@@neontetra2780 that's exactly what a 10 year old would say.
I’m really digging the more mature look of the Civic Type R; I think this one will age better as a result. Both are sick cars though.
Imagine being a dad having a 17year old kid and he like cars giving him the 2017 and buying the new one will be very funny the mature and fast and the childish and fun
Idk If I would call it mature
@@jonaschebly33 i know someone from my highschool who bought the last gen type r. I wonder if he'll trade it in
@@marioelburro1492 the type R is holding value so well that, if interested in the new one and you can get it without a crazy dealer markup, trading the previous gen R would be a no-brainer. I do not have a previous gen... I have a 2011 Civic LX. Lol
I'm very interested in getting a GR86 though, and outfitting it with a supercharger after the factory warranty expires. By then, I will have done other, smaller things to it and prepped it for forced induction.
I had a 19 fk8 type r for 2 years before having to sell it in a move, best car I ever had I can't even imagine any car that could replace it or give me as much joy and i've driven m cars and amgs. Best car ever
This guy is killing it with his dope reviews. Hes got great energy
I miss the days when Hondas were so uniquely styled. Back in the 1980s they were so distinctive. I had a Prelude S2, S3 and S4, all were brilliant. The Honda City Turbo and Turbo2 were also brilliantly quirky and fast. the 1980s CRX and Integras were also fantastic to look at, drive and own.
By comparison, this Civic type R is so "blah" in its styling. It just doesn't look that much different to all the other similarly sized modern cars. So disappointing 😞
right? when you look at it it just looks very basic. the red seats and red carpet is something I really do like, but Honda is just being too conservative with their design
The last gen one were more unique
Nahh fook that. New one is sleek
I think it actually kinda fits the bill for honda. Cars today have so many bells and whistles standard (thanks to Kia and Hyundai), and Honda is giving you all of those in a racecar disguised as a grocery getter. Hondas are legendary "blah" cars that non-fans and haters love to disregard. But with a little bit of imagination and great engineering, Hondas become a totally different animal. That's the Type R spirit. taking a boring car and pushing it to the limit. This time around it also gets the practical side of Honda we know and love as well in the non-Type R models, and shows us a new side with the premium interior design.
The previous type R was the first in a long time for the US, so it had to project itself. I feel as if it was specifically designed and targeted for the US. Similarly to how the FG2 and FK2 are most certainly designed for the Euro market.
This one has JDM vibes. It's as chill as seeing an FD2 in Hiroshima traffic on a rainy summer day. In Japan, they just blended in with the rest of the cars. Nobody made a fuss about them, and yet you could still tell they were badass just sitting in stock form.
@@ancientsociety653 this car literally has a big bolted on wing from the factory. it isn't disguised at all
I’m a Honda guy and I never loved the civic til now. I honestly love how the civic looks especially the type R. I’m 18 and I’m looking to get a new car and I’m definitely aiming to get the 23’ type r!
The volume knob for me as a music head that Installs bass systems in all my old cars is a MUST LOL
I honestly prefer the exterior styling of the previous generation. However, I love the new interior, especially how minimalistic the dash is. For the power output, I think it will be around 340-355hp.
the previous generation looked childish and gaudy imo. I appreciate the restraint of the new one; seems more like a canvas for any modifications you'd want to make.
Nope.
You must be legally blind if you think that monstrosity looks better than the next gen type r. Too many fake vents and plastic everywhere.
Unpopular opinion but I agree with you. The look of this one is kind of giving me Accord vibes.
Apparently it’s going to be 320hp
I really, really like the styling of this gen. I adore cars like the EF, EG and EK because they weren't overly aggressive, expensive or assuming but had the driving fun to back them up. That's more what this is. The rear's probably the weakest for me but it's not bad.
EF owner chiming in ...I think I want a Civic again lol
Def more true to the EK than the last gen finally looks like a more premium car again not a Hyundai
Absolutely agree!! I can’t fathom why people don’t like it the styling of this generation. I really, really didn’t like the previous gen’s styling tho
I love my kswapped eg but too many tweakers scope it out and wanna steal it lol
@@beanvan99 put a kill switch on the fuel pump and one on the starter like I did. Some may say it's extreme but I've been with mines for twenty two years so...
Looks absolutely fantastic, can’t wait to own one at some point.
Front looks pretty good, nice wheels, quite good modification probably, and actually looks nice
I bought a Civic EX-L this year after the transmission in my old car fried, it was interesting seeing whats different and what stayed the same. I was expecting the interior to be stripped way down and more barebones.
I would love to see this Civic type r in a two-door.
Same
Looks a lot like the 2017 Accord coupe touring imo
Same and AWD
I wish it wasn't hatch but a sedan 😭
Well, considering they brought back the Integra and didn't give it a two-door...
Good luck with that.
My Rallye Red Type R in the garage now 😎
Upgraded from a 2015 Civic Si
The FK8 was my dream car too. Then i bought one, and every one of your points is correct. It is not fun to drive slow. Pretty much any RWD or AWD vehicle on the road will beat it off the line due to traction. I live in the city and very rarely can drive over 50 mph unless at night. Its a blast in the canyons, but honestly just not a good daily driver. Oh and the interior started rattling around 10K miles.
i love the two tickling holes on the seats
It doesn’t look bad at all, I wouldn’t mind driving that car through the canyons!
I had a 2000 civic SI. Brand new in sept 99. I lived just north of Denver CO. My buddy had a 97 Integra type R. Number 501 I believe. There were only 1500 of them sold in the US. We would go screaming through the canyons west of Boulder. The most fun I’ve ever had to date. I moved on and up in my older years now. I have a 2017 Cadillac ATS-V. It’s awesome. Way more powerful. I live in FL now. It’s fun. I would love to drive it in the canyons back home. But this has me feeling nostalgic. I think I might buy this one and take it up there. These civics were always made for the canyons. You can throw them around like carts.
Same here, I like the looks better than the previous gen. Hopefully it drives better too....
@@natearb really? The previous one looks way more aggressive and sporty this one looks so idk boring. Doesn't really scream fast
I actually miss the old design
@@gotworc The previous version are designed for man-childs and boy racers.
It looks good asf, the new civics are nice but this’ll be dope to see
@@kelalkelal It still has VTEC, it just has a turbo to go with it.
@@kelalkelal It has VTEC but only on the exhaust side if I'm not mistaken, just like the Civic SI. Obviously not the same motor but similar nonetheless.
I heard they are switching to all hybrid civics in the near future.
the editing in this is beautiful.
Good luck getting one for MSRP. I saw mark ups of 20k+ on the previous one.
The styling is definitely more conventional, leaving room for aftermarket mods
This is what I’m thinking almost a blank canvas so a lot of people will be loading up on the aftermarket.
This is what I’m thinking almost a blank canvas so a lot of people will be loading up on the aftermarket.
Probably why a lot of the new gen cars look blank and not overly agressive unless if "the last agressive looking cars before we go electric" theory is true.
Just like they used to do!! I mean love the style regardless
That definitely makes sense. Honda clearly knows their market and who's going to buy this car.
I think the people the hate on Civics and small Honda’s in general have never been in one, they are an absolute blast to drive.
Two friends (a set of brothers), one has the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Final Edition. The younger one has a 2013 Honda Civic Si... the Civic is sooooo much more fun to drive. Not faster, not cooler looking, not at all as expensive. But again, it is leagues more fun to drive. You're absolutely right Civic get undue hate.
My 2019 Civic base model is still a blast to drive
Honda has their own style of delivering a fun car for a good price. It deserves respect
As a former Honda assembly line worker who absolutely destroyed his back for a company that doesn't give two shits about their employees, I hate the company. But the product is what it is, and they are fun to drive (as long as you're not tall and don't have permanent damage to your lower spine...).
@@JesseArt Did you retire? lol
Ohio? Alabama? or Indiana Plant?
They're different now, and realized the work force is dwindling since the boomers retired. Now they seem to treat their employees significantly better than any other place I've ever seen
looks absolutely fantastic
I can't wait to get mine bruh! I'm so excited .
this was a refreshing video to watch. i really loved the old bumper to bumper so this was very nostalgic when it came to that. i honestly think they should do more of these in person reviews of cars since COVID restrictions have relaxed, bringing b2b back to what it originally was... a Car show. great work and great video you guys keep it up.
Man this car is beautiful, I love the old one too. Honda is killing it. From my first 90’s beater to now
I have a 2017 FK8 and love it. I think it looks better than the FL5.
I really like my budget type r (2021 civic sport hatchback) I have had 0 issues personally
Great video guys, love the channel! The new Civic Type R looks like a banger, good looks, smart interior, actually slick heater controls and vents, but can we Honda please, please have the champion white wheels back, black wheels are so odd feeling now. 👍
This is a very "straight to the point" car! I like it after all those strange designs they have tried in the last 15 years.
Yes. I'm European, and I can't help but laugh every time I see the weird ass design of the 8th and 9th generation civic. Especially the 8th, it looks like a giant computer mouse, LOL. This one is the best design in LOOOONG time for sure.
@@M4RCi92 PC mouse is the definition :)
2014-2015 si coupe’s look to be on 🔥👍🏾
Yeah this is a dumb take, this is the worse looking civic of them all. Looks like another generic Hyundai concept car. 8th gens were the best & still look up to par for today, 9th gens were the last really good looking civic’s.
Great video boys !
Never thought id hear the sentence great for listening to TesseracT in a Donut review, time to order an FL5
love you nolan keep it up and never change the reloading sound when you adjust your glasses
It's the greatest!
i liked the sharp edges of the old civic thats why i liked it so much but its cool too see them experament like this and see what people like and also i think its going to make about 400 HP
lol no it doesn't make 400
where's the video where you compare this FL5 to your old FK8? i'm thinking of getting a used JDM fk8. specifically why you don't like the fk8 so much?
Can you makr a up to speed on the brand seat?
Gotta say how the Donut media crew ALWAYS manages to make better videos.
Every little detail makes it even better, thank you bois for making amazing content for yt.
I absolutely love this thing. Looks miles better than the boy racer vibe of the old one, has the manual, and I think it has 320-330 HP.
If only Subaru brought back the STI.
I mean what does the new wrx not have that an sti does besides badging and a wing? Does it not have lsd, a 6 speed, and around 300hp? I guess its about 30 short but what more could it need to be an STI?
@@Owen-zm6sq I'd expect the STI to have 320-330 HP, more than the 271 HP WRX.
Also, the new WRX has all this but is it really an actual WRX without the STI?
@@kb0x personally id pick an sti over wrx any year just for the LSD but im not a big fan of the no true scotsman stuff. For some wrx trim is just fine, and here they're combining both into the same car. Now aesthetics are probably the new WRX biggest issue.
@@Owen-zm6sq err IG they are combining both into the WRX and I can see why some people don't want the STI, but the STI was integral to Subaru's character.
Aesthetics tho... err that is a whole different story.
question: does the exhaust actually produce proper sound? Because the 2017 version was actually quieter BECAUSE of the system they installed. Straight pipe it and it sounds great
Not sure about back, but front looks amazing
Just watched this live. It’s certainly not my favourite Civic but it’s so great. Can’t wait to see these things at track days and car meets and I especially can’t wait to see the wonderful builds that enthusiasts do with these beasts. Honda has outdone themselves once again. Cheers to another generation of the iconic Civic Type R!
Dude!!! The front looks a lot like a skyline r33! Its gorgeous! Thanks Honda❤️
I want one of these,there nice cars the type r goes 170mph stock that's insane, then imagine modifying it like dang that puppy will be fast
I've never driven stick before, but I do want to try.
As much as I liked the last Type R, I couldn’t see myself owning one because of the looks. This one I can definitely see myself owning. A lot more mature design. Great job Honda!
Agreed. I love the cleaner look of the new Type R. I just couldn't with the previous one looking like the helmet of a Samurai.
Plus some of the vent are fake,this one has function over design and less boy racer look
In a world where any car must be electric,a hybrid, a crossover, only with automatic transmission, with tons of unnecesary stuff and with the general price being more expensive I'm glad to see brands like Honda to deliver cars that maybe are not so affordable but still delivers fun
I second that
Cars are meant to vroom.
@@StealthNinja4577 Honestly I'm open to new ways of fuel but with the ongoing EV problems like charging times and battery range, the price of an hybrid, the nonsense of a crossover, the trend to install a screen to something that doesn't need it and all the concern of the actual enviromental situation (like the prohibition of selling cars based on fossil fuels) makes me to just buy an old car and modify it to make it fun while trying to save fuel. Now, I believe there's the technology to make cars more reliable with fuel economy and power like Freevalve or the hybrid engines in F1 so, why we cannot still have access to it while just the rich people can still buy cars with the best options?
@@PPablinho hey I'm with you man. If a dude wants an ev, a Harley, hydrogen car, an old hippie wagon, a German Panzer IV main battle tank... go for it more power to ya. If a dude wants to build charging stations everywhere and bought the land and paid all the taxes and fees I don't care. But no we set up these rules for the peons and they're the ones that pay for us to not follow them.
@@PPablinho honestly it's all a huge scam just gotta follow the money. The same people that tell you that the end is nigh... again are gonna make money off the alternative or want to save money on something cause they're cheapskates. Doesn't matter if you're a scientist, a politician, a ceo every human is capable of being a scumbag.
that white on white number plate is dope af
I just realized Donut has 6 mill subscribers!!!!!!!!!!!. I have not been online for a while but I when I subbed you had 1 mill, you guys have grown so fast and you deserve it. GG
I'm in my 60's and I would love to own the brand new 3-pedal Type R. Classy looks without being over the top. I absolutely love the new red interior. Great job Honda!!!
The front end gives big ek9 vibes, they did an amazing job on that. The rear end gives me 3rd gen Legacy B4 vibes
Love the new rear end. Honda did a nice job with the body of these
I love how way more is just 9 more hp.
Car’s really pretty, but is enormous for what it is. I understand that modern regulations make it difficult to produce a lightweight/short wheelbase little monster but damn this thing is a whole family hauler. For a full size sedan I’d much rather a 3series but I might be biased🤷♂️
It's a fucking BOAT! It needs that rumored 380+hp just to keep up with the last model.
@@xWheatThinz but it's faster then the last model.
@@blakecatt5915 maybe from a dig in a straight line but I don't see it being faster around a track
@@xWheatThinz it literally shattered the lasts record on a track.
@@itsbare5172 🤣
the thing that makes me like the new design so much is how it is informed by simplicity and function. I've seen some people argue that a Type-R should always be more agressive but i have to disagree since this design language isn't new to the R badge. it is very reminiscent of the EK9 (my favorite) and i'm all in for it.
Agree. Type-R was always a subdued car, although this model feels a bit lacking in terms of uniqueness.
Ya all kidding me, wider fenders, unique hood and bumpers, 265 wide tyres and that's subdued and not unique?
Perhaps the big H has been too successful in toning it down🤣!
Definitely love this car. As you said,it is more mature but still a real sport car.
FBO and tuned the FK8's were making around 400. so im thinking the factory tune is just different.
Looks nice. Love the classic B2B style. Great job
Ah yes. The B2B we all love and miss back in 2019, its great to see you guys doing this again after a long period of time.
