It’s not a 55k dollar car. It’s a 46k car. Markups don’t count toward the actual build quality of the car.
$37k
@@autoalchemist911 should be 37k
46k for a type r is still insane
It’s a civic, 35k @ most!
@@roxys744 in todays inflated world, $40k is reasonable. What’s crazy is my old BMW M3 was $46k new in 2002. Inflation went up a lot since then, but salaries did not climb anywhere near as high.
My biggest gripe is the backup camera. It’s like it’s from 10 years ago. My 22 Bronco I traded for my FL5 had a higher definition backup camera.
I've gotten used to it. It was kinda annoying at the start, and it actually works alright in the night time.
Not sure why everyone complains about the backup camera resolution. It’s plenty good enough. Doesn’t need to be 4k resolution. It shits on backup cameras from 10 years ago.
True, even my fk8 backup camera too. Night time is the worst, it gets blurry
I don't think people buy the type r for the reverse camera 🤔
@@SIIKAP1 umm people complain about the reverse camera because it sucks? Stop glazing Honda and demand better. The car is 46k and gets increased every year. There should be an HD clear camera.
Can you explain the recall thing with the window part you heard? Like details. What all and where did you hear that.
My fl5 was built in Japan, don’t have any issues at all
The swift are more stiff springs than the eibach pro kit springs, when compared to the factory spring rate
Pretty affordable upgrade to help with suspension feel is swap the damper module for the one in the type s. It’s a couple hundred bucks but it’s plug and play and softens up each mode making it more comfortable to drive.
if the steering wheel "cuts" are on the lower left side, its most likely from your pants/shorts when getting into the car. Happened to me also since its a bit tight to get in due to the seats.
LMAO THIS COMES UP ON MY RECOMMENDED AFTER ME BUYING ONE ON TUESDAY
after watching the video: kinda figured it was just very small details. since I bought the cad I've fallen more in love w the car everyday
Ive had mine about 15 months now and i couldnt agree more with you. Car is absolutely perfect. Cant really find anything to complain about, especially with the mods, its only gotten better than it already was.
Hey, what color is that? Or is it wrapped?
Front Honda embelm?
As for the suspension, I've heard you can buy the Integra type s module to make it loads better
Might have to look into that!
Yeah, $260 part plugs right in.
Let me tell you the scratches on the steering wheel it happens when you get into the car you scratch it with your legs with staffs in your pocket, could be a zipper too it happened to me before
Happened to me as well.. I thought it was my wife's ring but it actually was my knife in my pocket scratching the steering wheel when I got in the car.
I want one since I had a 2014 SI. It was a great car after owning a modded Evo. I loved the civic interior. I think the type r is a perfect balance.
whats the tire side wall profile?
Im on eibach spring and i fly off the seats over the slightest bump too
Lmfaooo, on god
LOL dam really?
Rear bumper extensions at the bottom corners look new
yooooo i have a 23 Si and my steering wheel is cut but at least it’s minor and on the very bottom of the wheel
Get the integra type s damper control module and it will be more comfy.
The window rattle is from the application of the tint. I don’t have tint on mine and it doesn’t rattle. My previous car which was a wrx didn’t rattle until I got tint. I asked how the tint was applied and some shops use a device that applies pressure to the window to make it easier for them to apply tint. Some even take apart the door card. In other words, a shitty tint shop.
The upmark was enough to make me buy my wrx
Same here
@@alan1as1 they wanted 60k for a type r before tax’s and what not. They are on something serious. Nice car but not enough cylinders or power for 60+k
@@yoltsbpI was able to pay 57200 out the door with tax mark up and 7 year free maintenance
@@dereklee7965 I would have pulled the trigger if it was 52k otd but more than that I just couldn’t justify the car for what I’d be getting.
@@yoltsbp I feel it and I had the same next car was Wrx but for 57 out the door with the extra maintenance for 7 years I did it cuz if I got the Wrx after buying coils and rims and a paint match and a wing I would have paid the same as the type r that’s the only reason I still did it
You can buy a home link mirror from the Accord and replace the FL5 one
will it be direct plug and play?
@@aeroflowdynamicsyes there is one video about it in CZcams
Rear bumper ext , also the tail lights look darker
AeroflowDynamics rear spats :)
What color is that type r?
I got mines in Championship White just yesterday.. went to dealership at 9.17 am.. didn't leave till 4.53pm got the car for 42k
Bro my 23 wrx ain’t even 6 months old got it brand new 0 miles an it’s window creeks an rattles when 1/4 way or halfway down
Squeak, creak, rattle rattle, these are what make a Subaru a Subaru.
Bummer.
You can get them pretty much msrp now iv found two dealers one wants 48 the other wants 48.5
I had a feeling this is one of the best cars on the market right now. Your car is nice, but you need to pull those wheels back inside to make the car look good. They stick out.
U added the front lip
Better than your VB ?
Stock to stock way better!
#1 reason: broke
Title feels misleading. Could've said "my take" on the type R
the honda badge the new mod, now give me my 2nd FL5 plz!
did john cena get it at msrp? just curious
Waste gate actuator noise, rattling windows, back up camera quality is garbage, I don’t mind having only 2 seats in the back it’s kinda a plus and a minus. I paid about 5k markup but feel these dealers over price them for what the car is actually worth. R mode is obviously more for track but even comfort mode is good for me most of time but it feels like the car is on coilovers . I never do canyon drives in R mode not compliant at all
Plan on doing coilovers when my wheels come in
Is not a 55k car😂 u decided to pay that much for a damn civic🙄
Rear wing gurney flap
The markup was enough to make me buy a Corolla 😊 no regrets..a year ago .. in California Honda dealers wants 17 k . over the price 😢 no way ..
rear bumper spat/canard?! lol
Bought mine 3 months ago and never looked back. Champ White was my choice. Drivers car for sure.
If you are bothered by any of the things mentioned, this car is not for you. If you buy a Type R and complain about it being stiff😂 then you missed to point of this car
Wing risers
rear bumper skirts
Honda owners cant afford Garages.
Rear spats
FL5 is fiya. Some times it’s the driver
its crazy i've read so many posts saying this car is better/more fun than M series BMWs and I'm always shocked, I thought m series bmws were the cream of the crop. I've never driven them but its still crazy to hear that.
Because more power dose not mean more fun and the type R is hitting the right spot and i don’t know why people increase their power I had mustang GT before and I am enjoying driving the type R more than the mustang
Absolutely. Only BMW that can come close to this is 2 series. Cars with tons of horsepower or heavy will not be as much fun as this. Never look at the badge, always follow your heart.
Rear Spats
6th is FWD
If you think this is stiff then you don't know stiff cars. LOL But honestly the back up camera is embarrassing.
Camera is alright, its not a deal breaker when driving the car haha
For the money unfortunately it is 😅
Who cares? I’m not buying a type R for the rear camera, I can park my car just fine without one.
Lol, complaing about tech missing in a "race" model car with garage door opener. This generation is funny. Back in the 70-80s "race" model or "stripper" cars had less tech, all about light weight, like no AC, no power windows, even no power steering. I loved the Enzo having manual windows and people complaining about it. My favorite things about my 2000 Civic Si was the manual antenna and no dam ABS.
Save the manual, windows and antennas
The biggest issue is the fact that its Front wheel drive. if it was AWD it would be so much better.
You wont feel like its FWD on this car! Feels like RWD!
Have you even driven one?
Front is better than AWD. AWD is something manufacturers installed in people's brains to sell. I have been on a race track all my life and never ever needed AWD. It only makes the car tight and not relaxed.
@@AW33COM AWD gets you through snow... what are you talking about bro??
@@omarnanana No snow here, also, in rally we run in snow with FWD too. You just need to tires.
Wastegate rattle
Looks like an Accord is the main reason I don’t like it . Honda is wack for not making a high horsepower sports car. I would buy an m240i any day over that Civic R . Same price but you get a b58 with almost 400hp to the wheels . The m240i is a much nicer /faster /better looking car . The seats are the only nice thing in the Type R in my opinion
M240i is not same price. Also, 400hp cars suck to drive. BMW 2 is nice, very nice, but go drive this car and you won't look back. This coming from a guy who owned Supras for 30 years. I agree though, BWM 2, Type R, and BRZ and Miata are probably best cars right now for the money.
@@AW33COM m240i starts at like $52,000 . Type R Civic usually sells for 52-55k .
I have driven a type R but volkswagen MK 8.5 by far better car
By your opinion yes. But professional auto journalists who drove all the hatchbacks side by side, no. Everyone of them picked the Type R
Reason 1 buy a wrx instead
Eh, new WRX fenders are fuggly
not my cup of tea
If it wasn’t so damn ugly…
I used to own a 2006 STI and always loved Subaru, but the new ones do absolutely nothing for me.
A WRX? 🤢🤮. Shit is beyond ugly
@ROVA00 Subaru hasn't had a good looking car since the 2004-2007 STi. Every design since then has been dog shit
That car struggles to keep up with a gr86 in the canyons. That’s wack . Honda type R is sooooo underpowered and overpriced
It's not suppose to keep up with GR86 in the Canyons. Power to weight goes to Type R by 2 points ( a lot ) but GR is 400lbs lighter. GR is suppose to get away after first turn. On a race track though Type R will be about 3 seconds faster.
@@AW33COM yeah Honda is known for under powering their cars . The Civic R should be at least 350hp . If I bought one and couldn’t keep up with a super slow brz or 86 I’d be bummed
