- So what's the new 2018 Honda Civic Type R FK8 like? Well in this review Mat will talk you through the design, technology, engineering, and features. He'll also test its performance to see how fast it really can go, try it on track and on road and literally push it to breaking point! And of course, being a carwow review, he'll highlight five really cool things about the car and expose five things which just aren't so great. Sit back and relax and enjoy this ultimate in-depth review of the 2.0-litre 320hp VTEC powered Honda Civic Type R.
I feel like I'm one of the few that loves everything about the design
iMiguelAOG I do love everything about the car
Not alone
Me too!
park2086 soooo you’re all under 20?
@@charleschua9930 or maybe they just have a differing opinion than you?
This car looks fucking awesome. It has so much character and is so aggressive!

Sound BULLSCHIT, 0-100 BULLSCHIT
Looks too boy racer
Slow down the swears
04:48 warning light
Mat: Which is really really unusual for a Honda
Fernando Alonso: You haven't seen shit
Fernando.. Watson is faster than you.
skybluesky1000 warning lights/ faults in general are not unlike modern Hondas. They're nowhere near as well made as the old Hondas we all love. My FK2 has had no end of problems.
Your right about that, although Japanese car's are better then most these days they aren't as good as they used to be.
hihihihihi
thanks god u didnt fall
Engine problems in a Honda? For once you can feel like an F1 driver on the road...
Rudi Claes ..and no torque steer
MegaBigByte vtec kicked in yo!
You meant Engine problems with the Hyundai - 1.4 million recalls already this year, due to engine problem (Hyundai)

It was a pre production model... Ofcourse it might have a bug here and there... But should be fixed by Honda with a quick visit.

0-60 would be better if you did not pop the clutch and ride it for better acceleration
atiprocharger I was thinking the same way. That clutch release was so wtf. Anyway the car would still be slow as fuck even if he shaved off half a sec with a good start ...for a 320hp light hatchback.
Yeah, he’s a terrible driver for manual car.
Yeah, he’s a terrible driver for manual car.
Yep. This should thrash my i30N, but I've done 0-60 in 5.3s in that - by not side stepping the clutch!!
I thought that 0-60 time was slow. My BMW is 335 horsepower, so only 15 more but it's a lot quicker. I do love the way the civic goes round corners though.
I'm personally glad Honda kept the boy racer elements and made it functional, because it's a Honda Civic it is a king of all boy racer cars, the history or heritage(shall I say) formed within the boy racer culture, there's no denying about it. Honda could've just denied any relations with boy racer and gave it suave and sophisticated look like most of it's rivals, but they bravery didn't. They gave respect to where Civic came from, I believe that's what Honda designers did
Superb review. You're why nobody needs Top Gear any more.
androo4519 I think the problem with Top Gear is that it's more of an entertainment show rather than an automotive show... The same applies to GT, if not even more so. That's why I like the reviews from Motor Trend better, even though they're apparently biased towards American muscle and pony cars.
I never take top gear's review seriously. TG is just for fun
Top gear was never really a car "review" show but yeah I kinda agree nonetheless, it's entertaining
@@LizardYup the BBC admitted it was an entertainment show.
To right, top gear was just so fake, these review videos get to the point and tell you what you want to know.
I LOVE the look of this car so much I bought one! Well done Honda for having the courage to making such a beautiful car that looks like and handles like a dream and well done for keeping the manual alive!
Are you getting the new one
@@jikd0 No, I am very happy with mine. For my next car I am looking at something RWD for a difference experience, since I have FWD covered. The short list includes the Mazda Miata, Toyota GR 86, the new Nissan Z, Toyota GR Supra, Mustang Ecoboost High Performance with the Handling Package or the upcoming GR Corolla because it just looks amazing and all in manual of course. In a perfect world I would have them all but in the real world I just don't have that kind of money. With that said I am so glad there are so many good 6-speed manual sports cars out there right now because there will be a time this will all change. I don't take any of this for granted.
Hello man, how are you enjoying the type R? I am looking foward to buy one next year in nardo gray. The one concern i have is the lack of exhaust noise (?) Whats your opinion?
Also, is 320hp fast? I'm only used to 110hp on my megane lol
Thz
@@pedrovalente252 I love it. Here in the US because of the difference in fuel our Type R's don't get 320 HP but 306 HP. I was able to get about 5 HP back with a K & N air filter, so I get about 311 HP. With that said, it is very fast. There is no way you can reach its limits on the streets or even try. I updated to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, and the car just puts the power down and throws you forward. You can reach triple digits in a few seconds, and on top of that it gets great MPGs if you need it to. This is all stock, no tune.
The exhaust is quiet. I still have the stock set up and not going to change it. I have come to appreciate the quiet exhaust after living with the car longer and driving it in my neighborhood as well as driving it by downtown restaurants. All the good sounds come from the front from the engine and not out the back and with the quiet exhaust you notice the blow off sounds more form the turbo especially with the K & N air filter.
I hope that helps. For me, this car is a keeper, and I am not selling it. If you are able to get one, in good condition at a good price it is more than worth it! Best regards.

ts_ exotics for all you ladies out there
Elmojito1000 I knew what it means I was just board
A board of wood?
Jason Adrian hahahhaha nice pun
Don't care about what anyone says. This is by far the best Type R ever! FK8 is already a legendary car!
That poor clutch. Made me grimace.
His voice during the specs ruined it
Because not everybody cares about the nitty gritty details, so he was speaking in a sarcastic manner
@@homerles exactly I don’t care lol
The front looks really nice but the i think the rear with fake vents and 3 exhaust makes the car look a bit ugly. I wish the mugen tuned version dont have those features.
qwertinezz agree with you.
thr back vents are hideous
Nikolay No, that wing stays.
qwertinezz the 3 exhaust are there for a reason. like the middle exhaust are smaller for a reason. the fake vents are there because its using a civic hatchback bumper so its brought up to this car..
i wish it looked better. but it is just ugly
This is such a beautiful car, great job honda! :)
"Most well rounded civic" best way I've heard someone describe the new car.
Looks a lot better in black. Hides all those vents and grills
that clutch abuse between 1-2 and 3rd...that's why I miss driving a manual :D
front and interior is ok but back is ugly af
Darius Andrey The sedan version looks much more sleek and in balance, but no Type-R.
Darius Andrey agree, especially with the big ass spoiler
Darius Andrey I actually think the back is unique rather than ugly and that's pretty much the point of this car not appealing to everybody..
The back is divisive but I don't get how it's a deal breaker for anyone. The point of the Type-R is how it drives and it's not like you can see the rear of the car when you're inside it. May as well have an obnoxious rear for when you're overtaking BMW and Audi drivers anyway.
I can see honda exit europe soon.
Did you hang out with Alex from Car Throttle?
Am i the only one that loves the headlights like if u agree
RAHIM K absolutely yes the headlights and the badge grill section are the only decent looking parts of this car the rest is total garbage design
Ive got a honda civic and its on 112,000 miles and no problems whatsoever honda is the most reliable car out atm🤙🏻
dayumm
how much did it cost u
I still see Honda models from the 90's on the road. They do last a long time.
@@ballshippin3809 VW golfs are extremely reliable as well. My dad's friend has a vw golf mk2 from 1987 with 600 thousand kilometers on the clock and it still runs perfectly.
I drove the 1.5 turbo sport today, and that car was already so much fun. I mean, it was surprisingly good. The steering is probably one of the best amongst hot hatches, that variable steering basically means there's no dead spot even at centre.
45.2m breaking? I think my Renault Master does better, are you sure your tires arent worn out? Would also explain the bad 0-60 and 1/4 mile times
GT Haus for better looks better sounding engine japenese relibilty and turbocharged engine
Looks much better than previous gen Type R which was shaped like a shoe. I like this one
P.S. Porsche Cayman is £10k more but it's still faster ;)
P.P.S: Great review!!!
Lol here they type r is 60k and the cayman is 125 k
TYPE R is a dream car
Very shallow dream you have there buddy

In my country the car costs 90k pound tax included
Love this car
My dream car 😁😁😁😁
Love the new type r. The shape is unusual and amazing. the performance is wow.
This car looks like a 16y/o boys dream car. An adult in a car like this seems childish
Supreme Etnel yep, actually Honda civic type-r's always been cars for teenagers so,that's why I would go with golf
Supreme Etnel true Just like the wrx
A millennial couldn't afford it
i will like to have this then those golf gti they look like it is made for old people.
Says the teenager who sits at home at his mommys house on his computer watching car reviews on youtube wishing he had a job and money and a license to drive a car lol
12:47 thought my csgo queue popped
Do a rolling drag race from 30mph with the Type R and it's rivals. The Type R will win because how light it is, if you watch the drag race they did with the old one, it started to catch up when they were at high speed.
Tu tai pas trompe de chaine
I like the look of the old Type R more than this one
If Clarkson isn't driving a 200k super car and frashing it round a race track and then moning about some stupid Idea that it won't go over 200 mph because he's so over weight and should really be the first super start to be staring in the remake of the Munsters feature film and he doesn't even have to wear makeup or a mask 😂🤣🤣😝😜😂🙈
Jesus H Christ someone needs to show you how to launch a car. This is the second video where you were killing the trans trying to get a 0-62 time.
He might need a hand with that?!
He might need a hand with that?!
True I felt the jolts through my mobile screen!
It's a repetitive thing watching his vids. I really enjoy them immensely!
James MKT Driver Me too but he really bangs those gears in 0-62 tests, he could do it way more smoother and just as fast.
It looks hideous! Trying far too hard, its all over the place in the way of styling. The interior makes a Kia cabin look well designed! It may well go like stink, but the looks ruin it (in my opinion).
I want more in depth reviews! Love the video Matt!!!!!!! Please keep it up
Now comes A NEW SMALL ROCKETS , TOYOTA YARIS GR4= 1270KG 272 HP 5,5 SEC 0-100
This new video style and format is top notch! Good job guys.
The brake test showing 45M rather than the DVLA 70+ proves our speed limits should go up on motorways. Modern cars stop so much faster and safer.
I think this obsession for Nurburgring lap time between car manufacturers is getting old
Mursyid Omar it's an excellent measurement of the cars overall performance even SUVs are tested there
LOL not at all. Do you drive on a fucking track everyday? No you don't.
Track times don't mean shit.
Zack I agree track times are irrelevant because you could get spanked by a micra if the driver is more skillful.
Zack no the Nurburgring is an excellent way to test the cars handling and elevation changes you obviously haven't been there literally all car manufacturers go there to test cars just because it's a track doesn't mean it's only made for racing look it up
Still curious how this FWD slow econobox beat R8 V10 and Porsche GT2 on Nurburgring.....
This was definently the most unique looking civic generation.
The new Civic Type R has launch control as shown in the Redline review video. I'm sure that would cut down the 0-60 time by couple fractions of a second.
After owning this car for now 6 month. Got to admit, this car is something very special. May not be a drag car but still beat most car, once you rolling then there is no chance you'll be catching this unless you have over 400bhp. Yeh almost forgot, nothing can catch this on the bends and cornering as this seems to take out 4wd cars too
Independant rear suspension lol.
Back to the ep3 days!
I own a manual 6 speed Golf R and have driven my friends Type R a few times. My thoughts on comparing the 2. The Golf R feels faster HOWEVER The Type r is way more race/track focused. Harder suspension, firmer steering, more feedback on steering, better clutch and transmission feel, mechanical LSD.... Basically feels more raw and more engaging. Seating position is more race car feel, and seats are superb. Really love this car. However id pick the Golf R if its just for daily use as i found the Golf R a bit easier to live with ie. softer ride, easier to get in and out of cabin. Better if you have kids or family. Golf R feels a bit lighter, faster to me also, especial if you go stage one APR, gives the engine a lot more torque and better power delivery. The only other reason id pick the Golf R is if you live in a country where it snows or rains a lot as i found with the Type R when you put the power down in the wet it loses a lot of traction when you push it hard even in a straight line because of its FWD system. . Golf R is more planted in these conditions and imo safer.. If i could have both the Type R would definitely be my dry weather back roads/track car and the Golf my daily. or when conditions are bad.
No one cares about the Golf R. Really, no one.
4:29 To answer your question about who launches their car in rea life. I just did it 5 hours ago.....
mugensamurai I blew up an s2000 gearbox and diff because of it, and maybe several burnouts and possibly several more sideways driving and maybe even a few donuts but nope no one ever ever launches their car in real life lol oh look my input shaft
AGGHH I really hope this cars still available by the end of the summer cause there’s one available not far from me 😫
Try and get a face-lift model 😉
You actually mentioned Car Throttle lol! CT is single handedly responsible for making me like this new Type R. Still don't like the looks but you can't have everything.
I'm all for exciting cars, and for variety and choice and no question that the car is amazing to drive and the owners will have a real blast. That's great. But, personally... bloody hell it looks ABSOLUTELY hideous - any angle, anywhere I look. To each their own, I guess ^_^
Best review of the new type R! Great job Carwow and Matt!
598th like and 170th comment so early lol.
I am so sorry but its soooo riced out, why the hell is there fake carbon fibre all over the car?? Thats pure rice, i know its looks unique but the GOLF R is the pick for me, because as said in a lot of reviews there is so much road noise and only 4 seats i mean why only 4 seats??? And also i am guy thats wants a fun car but i also want a comfy car with a nicely built interior.
Julian J lmao it's made from Honda what you expect lmao
Julian J gold r boring and far too safe... zero character. just people pretending to be sophisticated. not that the looks of Type R are the answer....
I prefer two "proper" seats in the rear over three cramped once. How often do you have to drive five people around town ? I barely do - four seats are perfectly fine for me ;)
GOLF R LOOKS THE SAME AS A GTI JUST WITH AWD. I RATHER GET THE GTI OVER THE R.
The Service Dept at VW will love you.
I love it, but an electronic handbrake? Really Honda?
I wish more companies would pay some attention to seating height like this, the lower the better!
I wish one day Honda would make an AWD Type-R
Matuma Moloto front wheel drive is its soul
I agree but only off the line. The type r performs better than AWD cars
@@louiechen6233 only "BMW" IS A KING heck
the fake air vents in front ruin the aerodynamics tbh
Hell yeah this is a much better review than from the doug demuro guy
That's because Doug doesn't seem to know anything about this car. It's just all seems to be personal opinion.
And i hate the way the doug guy says quirks and features all the fucking time..
That guys Doug is a goon
Yo he’s trash at shifting
Bruh that was awful
I could feel the clutch shiver
Mat Watsons car reviews are definitely very enjoyable, especially with that sarcastic voice😂 keep it up mate!
I have had my R for about 2 months now, about 2500miles on it. So far I am totally in love with this thing, its really something special and as an enthusiast but not a "driver" I can tell you this car does not require someone with track experience to enjoy. I daily mine and love that I can rip it when I want to have some fun but with a button away I can make the car drive like a base Civic and have a comfy ride. Granted you can't turn down the looks but honestly, this car has two types of people, the ones who love it and the ones who hate it. As someone who loves it I understand its not for everyone and that's fine, not everyone needs to drive the best FWD car on the domestic market right now... move along, move along.

the design is repulsive
You have to be as blind as a bat to buy one of these. What's wrong with the WRX STI?
Adrian Echim , don't buy it , then .
Larry LaPointe if you like bouncey shit yeah why not, that focus rs ride is harder than a wood wheels they use during the middle ages
its a matter of opinion, to me the type-r looks as a hot hatch should.
It is very pretty in my opinion
Nice car, but my renault r19 89' 1.8 16V fasters:D
On a scale from 0 to 10, how riced is your car ?

This is an actual performance car
Front of it is fantastic. Aggressive but stylish. Back is overkill, however the saloon version is a beaut.
You need to learn how to shift, keep your hand on the lever!! And shift faster u disappoint me
A good driver never holds onto the lever
I perfectly remember my Clio 3 RS,203 CV (nominal), 165.2 on the dyno, 120 at the wheel.
However, the stiffer on the market, the most efficacious on track.
This to say that the 0-62 mph is not that important.
on the Clio 3 RS was 6.9 but who cares...still, the most efficacious on the track, of course not on the straight, but who cares...the most important thing are the bends, isn't it?
love the car but it makes my diesel 0 to 60 look good though
darren j What's the 0-60 on your diesel?
Arman_dleg 5.8
darren j Is it an e90 335d?
Well it could be a lot of 3 litre diesels really
Arman_dleg on the 730D M Sport it's 5.6secs which is funny considering it's such a heavy car
Its reliable but tou got the check engine light cause its pre production car
As an older person I am actually okay with the crazy look because it brings some youthfulness to my life. But the problem is as soon as I walk into the dealer asking for this car there is a $15k mark up on top of its current MSRP?!
emacemacii yeah that’s ridiculous, for 50k it kinda takes away the point. Love the car for 35k.
You need to brake torque it at 2000 rpm to get a great launch
Oh look, a car that comes pre-riced from factory
🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚
That's my dream car😠😠😠😠😠
Oh look, another moron jumping on the Honda hate bandwagon.
Riced? Moron. Go ride ur bike to school lil kiddy
Rice car thats a nurburgring champ, go drive your granfather Golf slowly round a track
Do people still drive manual ?
Car people do. Dont worry, we will switch to auto once we are 65 years old...
Mr Carson Manual is kinda frustrating in LA traffic😕
WTF who designed this car? Like it is supposed to be both by kids 15-20y.o.
A woman from america i forget her name
Your English sucks. Go back to school moron
I bought a 2019 and I love everything about this car. It’s so fun to drive and is sexy looking . I love driving it. I need to get it on a track to do this. I would also like to make some upgrades to power.
Is it affordable to drive and still have fun with it? I want to race around but don't want to have to fuel up every day.
@4:48 Now you know how Alonso feels :D
Reso205 Brilliant 😂😂😂
From the beginning, loved the design. Looks like a gundam. If you want to look more mature then get a lexus or audi. I love this design tho. Especially the new 2020 refresh
can you please use SI units, kmph and not mph, you have a global audience. Am from kenya
martin gicemi Mmm, what about everyone else who doesn't use KPH, like us in the UK, where CARWOW are based?
We have to change for you?
I don't think so.
Zerofightervi he can use both, but that of course depends on how ambitious he is. if he wants to tap into the worldwide audience like your own premier league has done so successfully he will listen to me. Big mufc fan btw, hope ronaldo returns heh
martin gicemi I don't care for football.
You didn't say to use both KPH & MPH in your first post.
I'm afraid it's just something you'll have to get used to, like when I watch Australian videos & they talk of power in KW instead of BHP or certain people using PS.
It's good to expand your knowledge.
of course am learned enough to know how to estimate, though he would make it easier for most viewers globally. Actually most of the world uses SI units, they are the global standard. And one last thing, its kilowatts, we measure power by kilowatts KW
martin gicemi I'm well aware that it's Kilowatts, that's what KW means.
It's shorter to type KW you see.
It didn't harm the popularity of TopGear to use UK imperial measurements of MPH ( or Miles Per Hour ) & BHP ( or Brake Horse Power ).
It's not wrong for a UK based group to use UK measurements, have you heard of Brexit?
We're quite accustomed to going our own way.
Hi Mat - your title 'Type R - ultimate in-depth review' - Yes. Great detail. Many thanks. Looks like the new Type R is fantastic fun on track, on road, and EVEN in town! I like the looks too. But personally I'd pick the Golf R as I'm an old git!
it looks amazing up until you get past the rear wheel... the wing looks good as well.
the 20"alloy wheel is just too much for looks... i think they should've choose a 19" wheel, and to improve the much improved ride experience (on the comfort mode).
it just looks so childish. I'd take a golf r or focus rs over this every day.
Felix O. - VEOTech you know its the fastest FWD right? why prefer that German or that american garbage over this?Xd
But... why would i want something fwd?
Felix O. - VEOTech cause you mentioned golf r and the rs arent those FWD? or i think one of the has AWD as well.
They are both awd xD
Kevin Kilo focus Rs isn't American it was developed and built in ford of Europe
I used to think this was ugly as hell but it's really growing on me 🙃🙂
That is quite possibly the ugliest car design I have ever seen. Were they going for a cheap ricer look?
The more reviews I see on this car the more I like it, even the over the top rear. I love this guy reviews, very entertaining.
Too Japanese action looking
duhh... Honda is Japanese what are u talking about...
Not entirely Japanese make.. If Honda Japan decides to make one, the rest of the world wouldn't get it, JDM only like EK9 and FD2R..
+Kim Boom Joong I know Honda is Japanese company you smartass.. What i am saying is that this FK8 isn't made in Japan and not entirely R&D by Japan.. Learn to read you fucking scrub..
this Civic hatchback is built in Honda Swindon plant in the UK, while the coupé and sedan built in Canada and the US
The Type R is only built in the UK and sent around the world which is kinda cool :)
Looks like the car Homer Simpson made that bankrupt his brother. 😷
Terry McDonald haha introducing......The Homer.
Overstyled.
Haha Matt was sending for the carbuyer guy on the engine review #Beef
Actualy looks nice some tokyo drift shit
Mat is awesome, people who say “he is so fake” don’t know people ! He doesn’t try to hard and is himself!
Wing wobble is normal look at airplane wings when you take off the shake the plane
f181234 it needs to flex so it don't crack
I tried a funny comparison ,I put this Civic type r-video side by side to a youtube-video of a BMW M140i xdrive because I wanted to see witch car would reach 250 km/h from a standstill first. and I finally found that if you let the Civic start first and when it reaches 100 km/h you start the beemervideo from a standstill the victory still went to the BMW!!!!! DAMN THIS CIVIC IS SLOW IN A STRAIGHT LINE!!!!!!!!!
0:50 oh boy those rims had scratches
That's press cars for you.
Is that Chris Goffey reviewing at 2:00 ?
Such an ugly car
Well that FACE (for ALL recent Honda lineups) is just UNNECESSARY. Like wearing a Mardi Gras mask... And this Civic Type R in particular, makes the notorious Impreza Hatchback (the only Impreza generation most people hate) looks...less notorious.
Yes, yes but the most important question of the day; *Is it green?*
...
Obviously no, it's not.
It's red -_-
Maybe there is a check the check engine light light?
this car looks like something out of a cereal box
If this car came out of a cereal box, id buy the whole shelf idiot

Looks like an overdressed old woman.
Simply too much for the eyes. An optical overload.
what an insanely ugly car
TheJsuisPasTropFrites78 I couldnt agree more bur I think the speed , driving and handling just makes it a little better
I think it's incredibly awesome. Not beautiful, but awesome.
Well I don't want to offend you, but you have bad taste.
This car is cool, like most japanese cars. They're reliable and worth the price. Lexus RC-F and LC500 are proof of that.
not for everyone
ill stick to 1987 Single Cam D -series B-series & K-series...And Also Why OH Why would they use. fake carbon fiber couldn't just make then black and or black with it saying honda or im sorry but fake carbon fibers a big spit to the face in my eyes & the junky NSX RADIO just try turning it down when your not connected to bluetooth i really just love my old school simple working analog cluster and or simple components plus not a fan of red or red cars
