    It was a BOLD move for Honda to style the FK2 how they did. This is probably the best example of a love it or hate it car (there really isn't a middle ground). As someone who loves the FN2 generation, I like the FK2! It's so outlandish in all the good ways.

    Are they still manufacturing this Civic Type R FK2 9th gen today, this looks better than the new one. It even looks more aerodynamic

      Big Irish Yeti 👍 I totally agree with your comment. You are buying the car to please yourself, not to please or to yearn acceptance from people. My wife asked the other day if I was being a show off with my 3 inch exhaust on my 300zx. I told her I don't give a shit about what people think I love it!

  • @TypeVertigo
    @TypeVertigo 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Personally I prefer the FK2 over the incoming "global" Civic Type R. Never really took to the 10th generation Civic body shape - it's as if Honda tried to out-Subaru Subaru's glory days with the GC8 and GDB Imprezas and forgot how it used to style its cars cleanly. That Type R and this outgoing FK2 have basically the same drivetrain anyway, and the FK2 at least has visual similarity to and progression from the Europe-only FN2 Civic/Type R.

  • @johnss2k434

    I think this car looks like a ton of fun! I wish my wrx came with seats like that!

  • @ashermerkabah
    @ashermerkabah 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think it's pretty exciting when we live in a world where a civic is on par as far as power numbers as a Subaru STI. Very exciting for big Honda fans especially. I look forward to how the public takes in this performance vehicle. Great job from Honda!

  • @STIjojoSTI
    @STIjojoSTI 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ive seen this car recently at the local car show. It looks really good when you see it in person. Looks balanced front and rear design including the sides. But seeing the upcoming Fk8 type R, all I can say is WOW!!!! I want one!!!! Btw, im a former 99 Civic Si and EK9 Civic Type R owner.

    @stephenpeacock8592 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Had an FK2 for a year now. Don't know much about the Fiesta ST, but can you get lift off oversteer in the FK2? You certainly can, especially when you change from the standard (unfit for purpose) Conti 6's to better tyres.

    "Pontiac Aztek of hatchbacks" :D LOL, pretty accurate description. The civics of the 90's that really launched the import scene were popular cause they were so customizable. Simple and clean from the factory, the owner could take the car in any direction they wanted. Not so much with this "spaceship"...

  • @olafpayne
    @olafpayne 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really interesting how divisive the looks are on this car. Honda cars typically are redesigned for the american market to appeal to their taste which I would describe as large, macho and less angular. But this was designed for the Japanese and European market where looking futuristic and high tech isn't a bad thing.

    I know they say it's coming to the US, and it may actually come to the US, but I've recently given up on Honda for the first time since '95 due to their neverending line of bullshit that they're going to put HP into their cars and just went with a WRX. Of course the Type R Civic should have AWD, it's a no brainer - but that argument can go on without me. What I've yet to see is Honda come through with a single threat of HP. The Civic Si had what, 200hp? How adorable! Honda has to decide if they want to be Toyota or not. By the time this FWD teenager-killer hits our markets, Tesla's gonna be churning out AWD electric subcompacts that'll beat Hellcats. Whoever runs Honda should just stick to putting that nice red paint on boring subcompacts when they feel aggressive, rather than pretend they have something that makes sense. Does the CRZ ring a bell? The Honda Fit is still their best car, because it does more than what it has to. Honda seems shocked that it's selling so well. Someone has to walk into the Dadjeans In Charge's office at Honda and show them what the competition's been up to.
