    The 'looks' is the main reason why I've bought this car. How can the 10th gen body design not be the best so far? It's beastly, angry, aerodynamic, edgy, futuristic, and unique at the same time... It's simply amazing. Of all the sports cars in this range, I'd rate this as my 10/10 fav.

    I bought my Type R about a month and a half ago. I've owned an Acura Integra (I treated that poor thing like a rented mule), Acura and Lexus SUVs, a few Subarus (WRX & STi), an Audi (S4 Avant), a Mazda Miata, a Chevy Volt, etc...and I have NEVER been so satisfied with a car purchase. Your video is on the money and had me smiling and laughing the whole time (particularly the segment on the infotainment system). Yes....the car has its quirks and at 51 years old I may look like a poster child for a mid-life crisis hotline while I'm driving it, but who cares? It's fast, fun and hugely rewarding, due to the near telepathic experience it delivers via the sublime handling, shifting, steering, and braking feel it offers. I look forward to driving it EVERY time I hop in. What a great car.

I'm hoping to trade in the Accord for the Civic Type R and "split the difference," that is, have an everyday drive that performs to an acceptable level of "fun." What's your take, my friend?

    I own the 2018 type R with 7,500 mi and I absolutely love it. It destroys cars on the corner, stops on a dime, and has a very good amount of power. Not to mention, car just looks mean. I would say this was a very good review of the type R, especially in regards to its performance. People forget, the spoiler on the Civic type R is actually functional. At 123 MPH, you are getting 67 foot pounds of downforce. I have had the car up to 148 MPH and it was glued.

    You guys should do a video on "Why you should drive your cold hatch like a hot hatch". Basically talking about how driving enjoyment comes more from mindset than suspension tuning and power. People who are on a limited budget who end up in base model, 5 speed manual hatchbacks and economy cars can still really enjoy these cars by wringing them out everywhere they go. I had a base model, 1998 Nissan Frontier with a 5 speed manual, 2.4L 4 cylinder (detuned K24), regular cab short bed and every once in a while I would just rev it out to redline and take corners Miata style and for a $3,000 truck, it was loads of fun.

I love when the kids turn their heads, some even saying, "look mommy... that's the car i drive in the video game!". ;) A car that can brake from 70 - 0 in 140 ft! C8 Corvette... 148 ft! A Car that hits lateral G's @ 1.05 (this number is even higher on the +2020) ... C8 Corvette 1.02! A car that with just an off the shelf Hondata Tune and E30 Mix is 360 HP (no bolt-ons) and runs flawless! A Car that's just over 3k in weight. It turns heads among the young crowd about as much as an exotic car does. I've overtaken other cars on the ramp going around them -- it can literally take curves within the curves! The car is truly a masterpiece of physics. Sorry Golf R owners, but as much as I admire and truly respect the performance, I don't like my car to look like a loaf of bread ;)

      Have you driven a Dodge Viper Gen 3? I love my Type R but kind of have the opportunity to try and trade up for a Viper... but not sure I should... I don't think I want a Viper unless it is the ACR... I have a video of me chasing a Viper on the track and if I had more power I would have kept up much better, handling wise I was right there and could be more aggressive with my corner exit. The Type R is incredible and I have done some amazing stuff on the track (and on the street) with mine.

      Honda should bring back the Integra. Keep a similar design but modernize it and put the engine, suspension, transmission etc from the type r into it. All Honda needs to design is a new body because everything else they already made boom profits.

    I bought a red one two months ago after my stg 3 ST got wrecked a few days before moving to LA from Chicago. I intended to buy a civic to drive for a few months then trade in. But the dealer was pulling an R in when I got there, and I'm stupid. So I bought it after two years of hating on its looks. The car is two months old and has 7000 miles on it now, and I live in the land of canyon roads. I will say this to everyone that has ever talked shit about this car, for any reason... and I was one of you:
    You have no idea.
    It is the best hot hatch ever produced. It's the best 4 cylinder ever produced. It's one of the best all around cars ever produced. It's FAST. Honda quoted whp, not crank hp, it utterly owns RS's and 370z's from rolls. And then... I've hauled a 9 ft long sectional couch home from Ikea in it. The hatch is mammoth. It's so totally usable still. It's like taking your worked track car to work every day but also having the minivan... and that's what makes it special! It's the king of its class sure, but somehow it's also the king of practicality too! What in the actual shit said I, proud ST owner... the ST interior was so much smaller and the hatch so much smaller and all around it was just less functional by a significant margin. It's faster than any stockish STI, Golf, Ford, or anything else even close to the segment reall... on the highway you win, period. On the track you win too because the thing handles like a dream... but whenn you start going to the store in it and throwing piles of shit in the back and you realize that someone finally combined the most practical daily driver with the most balls out badass hot hatch... wow.
    Anyway. I rarely review stuff. But the type R is art. It's a masterpiece of a car for the everyman. It's a bit expensive, but when you realize you don't need a dd and this... yeah. My original intention was to trade it back in when I was done transitioning. This thing is with me for life. I liked my ST a lot, but the R is family.
