Damn this man just keeps on reviewing the cars I’m looking at. Thanks man and great vid!
Great minds think a like! Thanks for letting me share them with you!
Baby before you buy just make sure to drive the Honda CTR and be aggressive with the clutch to make sure it doesn’t grind. Run the AC and check the back side of the valve cover for oil leaks. If they don’t let you drive it then walk away. The CTR is a blast to drive as long you understand that it is a front wheel drive
Fatboyray1 I’m not completely set on a Type R but I’ll keep that in mind😁👍
I was literally watching TheTopher’s review on the Type R, I refresh my page and see raiti doing a review
Topher review is fire no cap but my boy right here fire too
This guy is fuckin great, one of the few people i can sit there watching an entire review start to finish and never get preoccupied by something else. Keep killing it man
35k for 2018 with roughly avg milage... insane.. go get something else
I was thinking the same thing. Even if the Type R holds its value very well, this is simply robbery. I'm wondering how much did they give the previous owner? I'm betting $25-30K
dragoongalaxy20
No max they gave him 18 k
And did a super detailed clean
He looks like a shark
Rather buy a new one or visit other dealer
@@dragoongalaxy20 I took mine to Honda dealer a few weeks ago. It was 2017 with 8400 miles and the dealer quoted me 33,500.
Yeah get something like a brand new golf r like I did in 2016 with DCC nav and upgraded stereo with sub for 38k brand spanking new. Sure it's not as hardcore or track focused.... However it's just as fast, interior is stunning, driving modes are awesome and mag ride (dcc) is individually adjustable, while being so practical and comfortable and well made... Pure German.... And if you want to get a little more hardcore the mk7 platform was the best of the best for mods... Grab $1,500 get yourself a downpipe and a stage two APR tune and tour walking mustang GTs, SS, STIs, focus RS, even f80 m3s. With my DSG I was doin 3.5 to 60 with a couple bolt-ons and a tune. And yes the type R and the golf are are completely different cars and the type R is way more fun. That's the truth. Even while my golf R had supercar acceleration, it was not close to as engaging as a stock Civic Type R. But most of us aren't going to the track everyday... So the Golf R makes way more sense with DSG for DD as well as spirited driving. The type R is spirited all the time and for 35k for a brand new one ... I'll go and get one. But not 3 years old with 40,000 MI. No way
Same sentiment, they were 28-32 k used with low miles for a while. Then COVID happened and now they are MSRP with 30k miles. They can keep that beaten civic.
Awesome topic for the video! I'm currently looking for my first car and this thing is very high up on my list. I'm sure this will prove to be very helpful in my search. Keep up the used car vids!
Thanks man! I am so glad that I can share it with you!
If u find one with no markup, TAKE IT!!! Markups are literally the only reason this thing is so expensive!
whats markup, logo?
markup as percentage?
Klemen Kovačič like over msrp
@@user-on1jw6xv9f true. Like here in Slovenia, T-R is 45.500€ at dealership or a official supplier~ I think for 2020 model.
Overpriced. You dont get nothing in interior worth such price tag. If we look at Peugeot 508, what this car offers inside is insane. But i kinda found all cars that are below 30-40-50K have screen touch that lags af (delays) and lack features. Tho 508 Peugeot has you covered here, but then again there are no mods for it and it is only like 190HP..
Tho what i like is that car comes with updates or upgrades every year and improvements. _Honda does that to driving experience, but doesnt do that in interior section, which the basis is the same since 2017 model. And we dont have any choices to pick different things inside.
I just like more features from a car and better design inside with lag free screen
bcuz if you dont and cant di that today you are literal piece of shit. Tech is so cheap for that today it's mind blowing and i dunno where they are getting those garbage screens from pff... putting older models of screen in newer ones pisses me off AF
Klemen Kovačič that’s how they get people if you’re not careful they’ll mark it up.
Wow, my son's favorite car. He watched and subbed. Your probably the only channel on both our lists. Thanks for that 😎👍 appreciate this review my guy!
Great review as always Joe and great background knowledge! I LOVE my 2019 Type R. With the rumor that 2021 may be the last year of the Civic Type R be it new or used, the best Type R to get is the one you can actually find. Fortunately I was able to get mine new and MSRP but scoring a used one with a warranty might be that sweet spot. BTW It looks like someone needs to clamp down that cover on the car's computer housing. Again keep up the great work Joe!
When it comes to car reviews... you're the go to!
Man, Raiti's Rides keeps killing it with these videos!
I was looking at the used Civic Type R but they're still so expensive for one that's 2-3 years old. I might as well buy a new one that I know wasn't possibly abused with a warranty. I also like the changes they made to the 2020.
Awesome video. Always enjoy your videos and always waiting for new ones.
I’m a proud owner of a 2019 Honda Civic Type R Rallye Red with 17k miles. Everything stock, tires are still in good condition. Always looking forward for the weekend. It’s my awesome weekend car. It’s my getaway from all my stress during the week.
What the hell do you do on weekends? 17k miles one a one year old car and you drive it only on the weekends? Damn...
Bill DeSha 🤣🤣
Nice review on Type R! I saw 3 Type R with Titans wheels for sale and wish that I could afford this car but hopefully someday!!
The civic type R is a very nice vehicle... nice bang for your buck! Idc what people say about the look... it looks good in my opinion. A lot of people are so insecure and care what people think about them 😂
It looks aggressive, is reliable and nicely engineered what’s not to like….u are correct
I’ve never been this early for one of your videos I love them man they make my day
Wow. South Texas here I was able to get my 2019 Type R used with 6,700 miles for 33,995 sticker price
Wow that’s incredible and this is a year later. Was the car a salvage title? How did you manage this? I’ve been doing research for weeks to buy one.
@@lucianodelosrios6732 not a savaged title. Car was is no accidents. Well I got it in the middle of 2020 and that's when the Pendemic was hitting strong and car dealerships were selling vehicles for a lower price to try and make a sale. I'm glad I did because the prices for used ones now are ridiculously high.
Missing the 92-95 civic Si hatchback favorite Honda of all time
Such a timeless hatch 👍🏻
Agree, they are getting so hard to find clean.
I've been obsessing over this car for a while now, and then you release a video about it 😂. I dont have the means for another car and also
dont wanna daily it which is my problem. One day I'll get it 🙏
This was great man, thank you so much. I'm considering a used type R, this is exactly the content I need! Would you consider doing a used 2014 WRX or STI hatch?
The key is to find one with no dealer markup. It will hold value well enough as long as you don't mod it out.
I was just thinking about getting a used one, so thank you for your thoughts and things to look at as I'm browsing them!!
Did you get one?
Hahahahaha 1:36!!!! Love your reviews dude! Proud 2019 STI owner but I’m on the fence on getting a new Type R. My local dealer just called me to inform me they have a Black one. Your absolutely right about black hiding all the craziness going on. IDK though uuugh! Going from AWD to FWD is killing me but just the shear performance of the Type R and the Honda nostalgia keeps telling me yes!
Can't believe it took me a week to see this. Excellent review as usual.
If that dealership is really letting that go for 34K then that's a "steal" compared to the insane markups I'm seeing. The cheapest 2017 in my area has 30K miles and is going for 38K and the 2018s are up in the 40K range with 20K miles.
Just got back from the Dragon yesterday. 18 CTR R - 13555. And it was PHENOMENAL. All stock except for the hondata ;)
Thanks JOE!!!! Perfect timing as Im in the market :)
Went to the dealer and asked how much they where asking for one of these bad boys. They told me sticker plus 10k, they crazy!
34k is absolutely crazy 😜
Stealership strikes again!
@@NebulaLuna your not kidding! I tried 5 different Honda stealerships and managed to get one down to about 44k. I Gotta say if I truly knew how incredible there value would hold and the way the honda pulls! i probably would have put my principles aside and payed the extra money. Unfortunately at that time there was no changing my stance on paying over MSRP 😕
$62k here in Hawaii for a 2020 CTR. Talking bout ridiculous.
Ended up getting a 2018 Si Coupe new, dream is to swap out the L15 for that K20
Only Rati can make these corny ass jokes and still keep me watching his videos.
Thanks brother! I appreciate you having my back!
Hey man LOVED the video. Im you BIGGEST fan. I just wanna tell you to keep up the great work man your killin it!! :)
Great review Joe, I love the Civic Type R! this is your 3rd review of a Type R, first you reviewed a 2019 Civic Type R in Sonic grey pearl at Ferman BMW, 2nd you reviewed the 2020 Boost Blue Civic Type R.
He did a comparison side by side with a type R and SI too
Good Job Raiti!
And never mix the nuts!!
Love seeing the videos joe!
I sat in one and was able to test drive it and instantly fell in love! How's that 2nd gear grind and did you experience it in your 2017 before you traded/sold it away? You looked comfortable back in the driver's seat of that. We gotta get you and Vic in a CTR at the Tail of the Dragon ASAP!
Great review Joe! I’ve found used Type-R values to be quite strong and if you look around you can get a new facelifted 2020 model that’s improved for MSRP so personally I would go new and put a leathering steering wheel cover on the steering wheel to protect the Alcantara. However, the 2017-2019s are still great cars and as great as black looks I would have to go Championship White or Boost Blue
the new CTR has a suede steering wheel which is inexcusable. there's no way that will hold up over time with dirt & oil from your (or your mechanics) hands. there's a reason cars have used plastic or leather steering wheels all these years. here's a fun test. go buy a mr clean magic eraser and go over your steering wheel and then tell me how on earth you're going to effectively clean a suede wheel the same way. i go over all the touch points after i pick my car up from service and the shifter, wheel, seat belt, door handles are always gross because their hands are filthy.
Jonathan Lindhome Yeah that’s the only drawback of the new one but you can just get a black leather cover and it will prolong the life of the wheel. Alcantara is great for track driving but Honda should have kept a leather wheel for the facelifted version.
Those new Alcantara steering wheels looks great, but man.. maintenance will be bad! Will get dirty quick!
@@aaromon43 how is it inexcusable? I’d like to add that cars have used suede and Alcantara steering wheels all these years too, just in higher end sports cars and race cars. I’d think to build a track car these days and NOT give it an Alcantara steering wheel would be inexcusable. How dare Honda give their customers a taste of the good life at an affordable price? Inexcusable!
Also a suede shoe cleaning kit works just fine.
@@aaromon43 if you worry about having a pristine track car rather than having a track car, then maybe, just maybe, you shouldn’t buy a track car. Get a Mercedes Benz… oh wait, those have alcantara and are more expensive. Get a Mustang GT.
You do the best reviews!
I just got a type R 2020 black and I love it, mpg driving on comfort mode 29 mpg, 297 miles until gas light turns on, and I spend 30 bucks filling up tank with 93 premium gas in Illinois.
I have a black CTR with black titan s7 wheels as well. I have Michelin AS3 though as I'm in a colder state.
Ppl have been saying the type R is uncomfortable and i highly disagree. Glad you mentioned its a comfy ride in all modes. I guess we all have different ride tolerances.
How is the high speed stability in sweeping turn on 18s
Fun review, Joe! Any idea what brand/model those wheels are? I'd probably run something like those if I were to get a Type R. Thanks!
Nice video, my dream car. Couldn’t help but notice the purple demon in the background at the beginning, haha.
Want one sooooo bad, these dealers in NJ are awful though
Most stealerships are awful
Heard NJ is the worst place to buy a car
Come to Ohio, we're polluted by Honda
I went to NJ to look for a Type R. They had ONE. I asked to look at it and they didn't even want me sitting in it. I couldn't even test drive it. Let me put down 42 grand and not even test drive a car. I immediately walked away. The same dealership is selling the LE for 90 grand. Yes, 90 grand. This is why I bought a 2019 Type R with 4k miles from Carvana. I'm didn't want to deal with salesman and this BS. I paid $37.8k. No BS.
Would be better off buying a brand new one
I’m in Florida and agree. There’s multiple listing for 2021/2020 models for msrp. Wait another 1-2 years for the 11th gen to be released and there still will be literally new 10th gen type r for below msrp I believe.
Doubt that wit the shortage new ones being marked up $15,000
Nope, $7500 minimum mark up in California. 10k-15k is average
just having these will hold up pretty well in the long run, especially because the newer type r's will look more conservative i think. the boi-racer look will be no more in the future. and plus, production of type R's has been halted due to lack of parts, and i heard canada is no longer accepting type R orders
Agree on living in the country with this car, it’s perfect for that, with the twisty and windy roads!
Oh Joe just love the one liners you throw out there mate. The 4.9 seconds, but man can't mixing his nuts. 🤣👌
Thanks David! I am so glad I can bring some laughs your way!
@@RaitisRides if you could just help me decide between a mustang or kia stinger👌🤔😉🤣😂
@@davidbarnett8543 KIA stinger... Jb4 delete muffs and resonator, along with a CAI and your good.... Under 1k and ur killing v8 of the line,.
Awesome video Joe
Joe, big fan of your channel. Any chance you can one day (if you can find one) do a full review of a 2014 GT500?? Really curious to see how that car handles and what you think of it in action
Thanks for your great support! I am working on tracking one down so hopefully soon. I've been wanting to drive one.
Raiti's Rides awesome! You’re my go to for car info, and with me getting a new car next year. I am torn between the gt350 (which I know you love) and the 2014 gt500. So I really hope you can track one down because that video I would love to hear what you think is worth it!
Very good video. Is it a good idea though to buy a used sports car that the previous owner probably drove hard? may be abused? What do you think?
Just got me a 2018 and loving it
Im a new subscriber and been watching all your videos.
And today when I was at red in my Ford Fiesta SE the light turned green and yelled ON THROTTLE then mashed the peddle and ..............
My car went nowhere 😥🤷🏾♂️🙏🏾 February 2021 Dodge challenger SXT (or hopefully RT V8) here I come
nice review as always. I recommend you review a BMW I3S I feel you will enjoy it. Its a very underrated car.
I really like your videos
Really want to get a type r....ended up getting the Si and put a tune on it and it really made the car faster....would still like to get a type r though
I would definitely do 18” wheels to survive the Detroit durability proving ground we call roads.
what did you end up buying that checked the additional boxes for you?
Nice review
I see your hellcat in the background!
What car do you drive now?
nice video man! I would like to know more about the things that made you want to sell yours honestly. Is the type R good if you have kids? Also how is the AC throughout the car? (I drive an Infiniti G37 right now and the AC is incredible and was hoping the Type R AC would still be nice enough to cool the whole interior down nicely and quickly)
Not if you have 3 kids 😂 which is the boat Im in unless you leave the wife at home 😆
@@cristianmorales3783 damn, well you my friend are in a pickle. I have 2 kids and ended up getting a type R and I love it. Sorry my friend, you will likely need a different primary vehicle for the fam.
I'm happy that the Civic Type R didn't come with a CVT, just pure joy of rowing a manual transmission stick and Honda has great gearbox. I hope the new Civic type R comes with a AWD option to be a rally and track car monster and also great for city!
What a car 🚗 joe the interior and those seats 💺 with the red is awesome 👏 that stick shift have a lot off power joe big up to crown 👑 Vic Lori your team and you joe al the best nuff love ❤️ and respect ✊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🤴🤴🤴💣💣💣🧨🧨🧨😎😎😊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✅✅✅✅💺💺💺💺💺💺👌👏👑
Cringe
Wow it comes with a golf ball holder? That makes up for the ADM, tbh
Hate that dealer mark up. I am learning towards the Veloster N
Vtech engines are also better!
The black hood looks like it has a indent?
34k for a used type R seems crazy but I hope it's true because I got a 2019 fk8 😅
I want to buy Raiti's used Honda Civic Type R!! XD
I’d like to see a review on an Acura Legend KA8 coupe 6 speed. One of the best looking cars made in the 90’s
Joe you're as Rocking as the car 😎😎❤
Best reviewer everrrr!!❤
Please take my name in next of your video Jaskirat ❤❤
Love from India❤❤
Save a few bucks and get a pre-owned Type R. Sounds like a winner to me. Do you miss yours after driving this one Joe? Thanks for sharing it! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I’d like to actually argue that the mustang ecoboost is a direct competitor of it as well, probably not one of the first cars you’d think of but it’s very similar to all of the other cars you listed when it comes to the engine. The difference is it’s a rwd coupe lol.
Yea mustang is good choice but very different car. To me it looks nicer but not as much interior. Also it's different feeling driving mustang then tR
You forgot to mention the bonnet (hood) is aluminium and I've got 316 HP in my FK8 here in the UK.
Always worry with a used 6MT what the previous guy did to the gears.
Joe you never responded.. does your Shelby have the vin stamped on the left side of the block, just above the oil pan?
Sorry Kellie I have to check!
Going to look at it later if it’s still there 😉
Very cool!
I went to get my oil changed at my dealership where I bought my Honda and they had a 2018 Type R for around $35k. No way I'm getting a used Type R for that much lmao...
The king is back with the type r
Watching this in 2023 that’s insane 34k would be a steal rn
38k here in CA on the low end
Lots of people don't like a loud cars, that's one of the reason why i like Honda's
does the type r handle better than a 2019 miata?
Hey Joe
How many cars do you own?
Awesomely done ✅
My favorite color is now black 🔥
Glad to find aproval on my pursache of a 7000km 2nd hand FK8. And it's the best car i'll ever have.
at 6:35, what is the black car in the background on the left?
As he looks over his shoulder to make sure the police was not following him. Lol
Hey that’s my car! I traded it in to Reeves BMW. Was time for me to upgrade to a 2020 BMW M2C.
How bad did you beat on it. lol
Cool
U mean downgrade :(
@@lbccrx1rex933 c'mon now lol
Nice... now tell us how much have you spent on maintenance?
I found a 2021 with 40k miles on it for 40k. Is this a bad deal. It’s the color I want too 🥺
What did the previous owner buy?
JJ ~ the R stands for "radical" it's true, I talked to Mr. Honda & that's what he told me : P butt really these are nice for guys who are into tuner cars, ya can Frankenstein them, tweak them, etc. I've seen a few on the streets totally ripping it up. don't know if I'd end up with one, but I appreciate them as a decent car. - tony
My question would be why was it even traded in in the first place? Everyone knows that the inherent problems between the 2017 and 2019s are issues involving gear lock up. Supposedly the issue was taken care of already with the 2020 models but that's still remains to be seen since we're only 3/4 of the year through. If there isn't one report of a gear grind the entire year on a 2020, then I'll believe the issues have been truly addressed. That would probably be the time for someone on the fence to get the all-clear sign and dive into a 2020 pre-owned model instead. 2021s are coming out next month I believe. 2020s was a short production year because I'd Covid.
Michelin Pilot 4S is what I'm going for 18x9.5
Not big fan of hatchbacks unless its a sport back like the Audis and the Stingers. This car is not too bad but the price on these civic hot hatches is too high IMHO. Thanks for bringing it to us Joe! 👍
i dunno why ppl hate on looks, it looks great, better hate on fake vents and bad/lack tech in the car
also, am i able to change the screen in Civic Type R? Like this one lags af
Still highly considering. Is it worth trading in a WRX STI for one?
The only way to truly tell is to drive one and see.
no way bro
losing awd for fwd
No. I like the Honda more but the Subie has awd which you might miss. Also it doesn’t make financial sense since the trade in value of the STI will probably be a lot less than the cost of a Type R.
Way better reliability
How are you Joe? BLACKED OUT CIVIC LET'S GO!!! TWO BLACKED OUT VEHICLES IN 1 DAY!!!
Doing well man! I know you like these color combos.
@@RaitisRides Yes indeed!
That car has 07/2018 built date with 30K miles. Regardless how you splice it, it's nearing end of warranty. Not to mention those 30K miles were hard and probably abusive. It's also been robbed of OEM Honda Type R wheels and replaced by some generic garbage. No way in hell that's a $35K car. I wouldn't pay $20K for it. I wouldn't pay $35K even for brand new one. It's not the dealer's fault. If people would stop paying $10K mark up on a CIVIC, the price would drop like a rock.
🤡
Raiti shows up to the dealership like every day to sell their used cars.
Good idea I don’t see it breaking down anytime soon
Get the waffles out and maple syrup. I love dude!
Can anyone answer this question for me? Will the stock wheels than come on the 2020 si fit the type r ?
No
I'm definitely buying one of these in 2024
Cool cars 👌🏿💪🏿😎
Thanks Dylan for letting me share it with you!
Maple syrup? Check.
Twinkies? Check.
Super slurpy? Check.
Pistachios? Check.
Cashews? Check.
Skittles? Check.
The look still isn’t good to me but I agree that black cloaks that well. These things don’t depreciate is the only knock on buying this wonderful machine used.
Hard to buy pre own nowadays....Everybody thinks they belong in the track, raping the car engine like no tomorrow...When type R, starts to overheat or show problems, they flip that CTR...
🤣😂🤣exactly
