- This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2024 Honda Civic Type R high-performance compact car. The 2024 Honda Civic Type R has a 2L turbocharged 4-cylinder matched to a 6-speed manual transmission with rev match control, 315 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. This is a FWD model and premium fuel is recommended.

Andrea is alway so HAPPY accelerating!! I love it! Haha
She seems happy in general, and with a great sense of humour. Zack scored big time.
Spend 15 minutes on the Golf 8 forums reading about error messages, warning lights, etc. Civic and Integra all day long…
I love the R's but you're so right. Same with the N groups too... so many issues. The CTR groups are like 95% just people admiring their car/showing off their upgrades
All day long if you want wheel spin and wheel hop everytime you floor it and a base Civic interior for $55k.
Amen ! 😆

@@janoycresnova9156I will take that over being stuck in a service loaner while the gti sits broken at the dealer (been there done that 😢)
'Steely Dan'. Not many here will truly get that reference.🤭😛
the most awaited Video! I was literally waiting on edge of my seat to drop this TYPE R review. I am such a huge fan of this bad boy from Honda. The ultimate "practical-everyday Track Beast". hands down!!!! Love from Halifax, NS.
Great show! Congrats on the 350K Subs. Well deserved🎉
Watching with the sound off , Andrea having a blast and Zack lookin like he soiled himself ...😆
This video was so much fun to watch, love all your videos! Love my 23 BRZ with 6 speed manual. Can’t get my head around FWD.
Motormouth, Zach, Andrea and a TYPE R!!! Who's not clicking on that!!
I really like the reviews offered to us by Andrea and Zach--they have a lovely chemistry going here (it really is nice to watch). Thank you -- and thank you for your review of this lovely car.
Andrea you always dress to impress. I love how you color coordinate with the car being tested and that colour match is 🔥. It’s something I look out for in each review.
FL5 owner here, best Honda made. Also a previous FK8 owner. Just know if you are in the market for the car it is not a luxury sport hatch. Its a drivers car that is focused on the connection between the car and the driver. This is the last ICE powered Type R and Type S. Dying breed, so enjoy it while you can.
Wow both been waiting for this exciting video with vivid red colours to boot 🎉🌹
Looks Zack obsessed with the shifter 😂😂😂 good video as always
Loved the color match Andrea you popped with that red car!
I use a red foam microphone windscreen on that burning/frozen shift knob on my '19 R. Great job you two!
Funny thing: when the first Integra model came out, I bought an '89 because they advertised it as a sports car, had the engine born of racing and a sports tuned suspension. It was slower and softer than the Honda accord hatchback! I guess the Hondas are still sportier to this day. Just bought a Corolla Cross hybrid for the gas mileage and comfort but now you have me wanting a 6 speed with a hard ride! Thanks again for another great video
I’ve always been a fan of the Civic Type-R. The new one is so much cleaner while still aggressive and bold 😍 great review!
Hey, might be the only one, but I like that there are cheap black seats in the back. Makes it easier for me to use and toss things back there without having to worry about staining or damaging the red fabric.
Same! I'm so paranoid about keeping the red clean up front that it's an honest relief to have a back seat I don't have to worry about
If you’re having fun “age appropriate” is out the window.
Great review! I have to mention from the FL5 Nurburgring record judgment by many others: I don't understand the animosity of the few people who say it's cheating. And here's why: For reference, the record set before the FL5 was by the "Renault Megane RS Trophy R" and no one cared when that one “wasn’t stock” and released in limited numbers (about 500) for homologation purposes (If you could call it that). Basically to say: "We released this version to the public, so the record stands". Meanwhile, Honda comes out with the FL5 Type R “S” (also releases it in limited quantities to the public) and everyone calls it cheating… As far as I’m concerned, Renault started with the “not stock” record. And making the Type R "S" version the stock Type R (as in: the one sold as the ONLY Civic Type R available) would be too bare bones for most buyers to bare with no comfort for the normal road. As it is a race car version with many items/functions of comfort stripped and a different gearing that is not suitable for street driving. It's kind of like a double-edged sword: damned if you do, damned if you don't. Not to mention, lots of FL5 owners are switching to the Integra Type S's ADS because they find the ride to be too stiff. So the FL5 broke the record. But I still see people calling it cheating. It makes no sense.
Shopped the entire segment and happy to say I am the proud owner of a Championship White FL5 (purchased under MSRP). The Type R was simply head and shoulders above all the others you mentioned from a driving experience perspective. The steering, suspension, driving position, seats, as well as the most gloriously silky 6 speed transmissions available on any car at any price made my decision pretty simple. Nevertheless, all of these cars have their own personality, quirks and some even offer more utility and creature comforts (Golf R comes to mind). All represent solid bang for the buck. The FL5 will never be the fastest car on the planet but it handled the best out of all of these options. Golf R is a nice car but I felt it was busy trying to be everything to everyone being a good all 'rounder . I simply found that it didn't really do anything "special" in my eyes that made it stick out. Great car if you need AWD and want heated seats. Hyundai to me is another car that punches above its weight class but really isn't a hot-hatch IMO. It is a def a car worth driving but still needs more work in the driving experience department(and is not the best looking car either). Acura is an up-market FL5 with ugly tacked on rear fender flares and a better exhaust note. Didn't think it was worth the premium for my application. The GR Corolla was a no almost immediately given the after-thought tacked on rear fenders and awful driving position. The cheapest looking interior out of all of these cars. I understand just like music, cars and the experiences they elicit are subjective but there is something special about the JDM built Type R. Time for some more coffee !
My 24 FL5 octane grey pearl makes me smile every time I hit that red button and slide into those Alcantara red seats 👍🏻👊🏻
I run mine on individual comfort and +R everywhere else. Some times I’ll hit the +R button just for fun . The transmission is amazing I love the feel it’s so engaging.
Edit : when I put my Tuxmats in I noticed there is vents under the seats for the rear passengers 👍🏻fYI
the "shifter" comments........hilarious; gr8 vid A&Z
Yet another great review and entertaining video, you are the best at what you do! Type R has just enough torque to get the kiddies to school on time when they purposely miss the bus ;-) Go turbo dad, my daughter always says. We have a 2011 Subaru Forester XT, not 310 feet torque, thank goodness.
Can’t imagine slogging this beautiful car through the snow and salt infested slush of a Canadian winter ..
I can't imagine spending this much on a front wheel drive with a dumb looking wing. This generation is much improved, looks-wise. The last one was hideous looking at the back.
In addition to that no heated seats or even steering wheel and then you hit a pot hole with that suspension. No thanks
Wow that red looks awesome on this car.
Glad my experience with VW AG has not been what others yap about on car reviews. My oldest VW had 120k and I had 0 reliability issues, the other had 98k and was also problem free. Brakes tires oil etc… that’s it
They're hit and miss like all VWs you either get a good one or bad one. 50/50
Great video. I’m with Andrea - Type S. But I would miss the better Type R seats and the shift lights. And what’s with no a/c or connectivity in the back for a premium car?
Zack, wouldn't you wait until the civic hybrid comes out in the summer? If buying a civic? Love the car! Great work!!
The only thing I miss on my Integra Type S that this Civic Type R has is the bucket seats, the integrated navigation for travelling outside of Canada, the chassis badge number and the large wing since I'm still young and into the boy racer look. Everything else though I definitely appreciate the softer suspension, heated seats and steering wheel, exterior I personally like the sharper looks and the slightly better interior materials and features including the HUD.
Awesome Video guys and love hearing your opinions! Sorry Zac but I'm with Andrea on the car choice, I want my buttery smooth Honda manual and I don't need AWD!
Turbo boosted gauge and type r instrument panel with laptimer is cool as well.
Hondas have become too expensive recently. This car is awsome but I doubt if it worth the price!🧐
😂 You guys sound like a kid who gets excited about this vehicle. 😂 I love the front seats and I know it’s a huggable seat. 😆 great show Andrea! 👏🏻👏🏻☕️☕️
Type R all day every day. Dedicated drivers car.
Japanese reliability and longevity.Outstanding 6 speed manual transmission. The best seats in the business. Huge cargo carrying capacity which becomes enormous when rear seats are folded down.
Menacing wide stance.
Ridiculous cornering capability and grip levels.
This car will destroy all its competition in the same price bracket including the awd competitors. The fact that it is so fast from point to point with only front wheel drive is a testament to the phenomenal engineering. Once that golf R is out of warranty and starts costing you a fortune the civic will only be just broken in.
I have watched and read hundreds of reviews on the type r and it’s competition and nearly every single reviewer with any credibility gives the win to the type R
That red is FIRE!!!
I prefer the Honda Civic because it's a Honda Civic. Both the brand and the car model ooze history and heritage. Thank you for the great review!
No heated seats on a car this expensive is absurd
I got a the previous gen Type R for MSRP and I love it. I would love to get the newer one but they are getting pretty expensive.
As far as some of the cheap outs on the interior, in Europe and Japan, the Type R does get alcantara upholstery for the rear seats. It also gets the alcantara steering wheel as standard (which is a USD $400-plus option in the US). Those models also get an alcantara shift boot instead of the cheap looking fake leather in the North American versions. As for the lack of a third seat in the rear, Honda claims it’s due to weight limitations of the Type R (and Type S) suspension, which is only rated to carry four 170-something pound adults.
As far as ride quality between the Type R and the Type S, a lot of Type R owners are buying the suspension control module from the Type S and swapping it into the Type R. The part is around $200 USD and the swap is fairly easy, just plug and play.
This was a really fun episode. If i could give 2 thumbs up.... you'd get 3. 👍👍👍
Purely on an aesthetic perspective, I think the Integra smokes all other alternative. I however agree that the price tag is pretty steep.
I’m super glad Honda makes this rocket. I’m so impressed with each variant over the years. If this car car is your ‘Thing’, and … you are that kinda guy (or girl)… it is certainly hard to top. But for literally everyone else? Just get the Acura. You cannot go wrong. PLUS… it’ll leave less VW Golf Rs (the proper answer) around on the motorways … besides me and Zack. Thanks for the video.
AGREE with Andrea Integra Type S ❤
What are your thoughts about the Type R vs miata fun-wise.
Wife has 2024 Lexus NX, I have a 2020 ND miata. Bought the miata to keep forever as a daily and later become a weekend car. We have a 1 year old baby.
Might need a more practical car in a few more years. Doing okay for now. Should I just keep and pay off the miata and add used gas/ev car in a few years or would this be fun enough to replace the miata.
Looks like a fun car to drive hard!
I bought a Type R 2 1/2 months ago for MSRP $46,350. The Golf R’s are currently selling for $48-49k and some in the low 50’s in the New England area. I prefer the interior of the Type R to the Golf R and sunroofs are not important to me. The comfort of the Type R front seats are exceptional.
As much as I like Hondas (I own one currently), I'd rather have a Golf R over this. The Golf is better looking, has AWD, available dual clutch automatic, and fantastic dynamic suspension (no dumb-looking wing either).
I had a 2022 sport touring hatch. I really miss that car! I had to sell it because one of my dogs is really sick. If I bought another car, I would definitely look at this one first! Well not this one, but the sport touring hatch CVT! 😂
This sure is a fun car to drive so looks hot in that red color.
The mark up on this cars are crazy!! 😒
Would be great to see the coupe brought back.
My son and i are with Andrea, Integra Type S all day long, point of buying this type of car is for stick shift.
You are buying for reliability when you rev the crap out of it.
If you drive hard, Gold R will not stand up with the beating.
Zach buy based on price ? come on when you spend this much money, you don’t let price determine what you buy.
LOl Ok, as a previous Golf R owner for 5 years and it was stage 1 tuned , I drove it hard and blew away CTR's like nothing and had zero issues on top of that but thanks for being so well informed.
@@vroomgctry driving it hard over 10 years
and see, my buddy fixes VW Audio Benz all days and every time i see him
he shows me the stuffs he replace in engines
mostly broken plastic parts
my son drives a 2006 TSX hard
@@TranTek I dont keep cars more than 6 years but thanks for the tip
This is one of the few hot sedans out there!!!! Great review as usual Zack and Andrea 😍😍😍
It’s not a sedan
It's a hatchback that looks like a sedan
Can not wait for your thoughts on the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid - Love the duo delivery!
I heard they added metal reinforcement there for stiffness to the body this forcing a four seat only configuration.
But they still could have added the same cloth material heated seats in back map pockets USB c ports heat cool vents and arm rest.
Better yet they could have added those front buckets in back adapted for folding.
The CTR is the way to go. Looking at price, which just can't be ignored, the ITS comes too close to the TL Type S, so the CTR wins for a more purposeful hot hatch.
Great review of this little pocket rocket. Its pricey though...
I appreciate the review. I love the red but its not available in Canada anymore. Maybe we will get boost blue for 2025. I think the rear seat fabric is to save money. The FK8 CTR has the same cheaper fabric in the rear.
Hate the look of the boy racer exhaust tips
Agree, better more purposeful looking with just a dual, one per side setup or even quad..., twin per side, (per E46 M3 etc). I don't know, this almost makes you think it's got a 3-cylinder!
Ya and the spoiler .. it's too kiddy looking for me and for the money I'd get a BMW or Audi or Acura.
Love the car, sadly no inventory in BC
Absolutely. Very limited availability in Canada. I would love a red one in BC.
A L U M I N I U M - not A L U M I N U M ;-) see Matt Rife !! Love the review, I'm getting the Championship White Type R next year, cannot wait.
So glad the back seats weren’t red. Ek9 only came with front red. Glad they brought red carpet.
Don’t need vents or ports in the back because f passengers.
They’re obviously not the target audience 😂
Type R for track , Type S day to day drive and Golf R gremlins in the infotainment and red lights in the dash.
Elantra N comes loaded was well. It also has features the typeR doesn't including an auto option. All you do is pick color and transmission.
And way better priced!
I love the wing and I love the old wing way more better
The European market gets the microsuede even in the back seats. I own Type R and I am considering getting the microsuede covering for the back seats.
GTI nicely equipped for 31000 US, HARD TO BEAT
Type R anytime. I have had the FK2, the FK8 and now the FL5 in championship white. There are quite a bit differences between the USA model and the European model. Those differences are chosen by the import companies, not Honda itself. The European model has black alcantara backseats and an alcantara steering wheel. Another difference is the EU model has black tinted windows at the back and backside. The USA model has the Bose system, the EU model has the standard sound system. I don't care the standard sound system because the quality is overruled by the road noise anyway. The EU model has 329 HP and in reality some 15 more because of the 98 and even 103 octane gasoline we have here. You mentioned the automatic transmission. No way I want that because the manual transmission is THE fundamental part of the ride joy this car gives besides the splendid road holding. There is one thing I am going to change on my FL5 and that is the suspension. On the bad Belgian roads the suspension is to stiff, so I ordered the software module of the Type S, and I am not the only one. It would have been a better sale policy if Honda should have given the possibility to choose between the two modules without extra costs when ordering the car. Nevertheless, after already more than a year driving this beast I enjoy it every single moment. Reliability or the lack of is another reason not to choose for a VW.
As a chassis engineer myself, do you guys realize how hard it is to engineer a 5 door hatchback of this size and keep the weight under 3,200lbs while still keeping the bank vault structural integrity that this car possesses? Complaining about no rear heated or ventilated seats and no charging for phones seems a little ridiculous in a “Type R” product, especially when (as far as I know, I don’t work for Honda) even higher end Civic models don’t come equipped with those features
They have them in the Integra
@@Motormouth...no heated rear seats in Integra Type S
I ordered the CTR 8 months ago, switched to the Integra Type-S few months back when I saw it coming into the market.
I must admit it's a superb machine and I'm still uncertain which one looks better.
Anyways, been in the 40's with kids & living up north where winters are harsh and roads bumpy, the ITR remains (even if more pricey) the "more responsible" choice.
Can't complain with the little exhaust tweak and other goodies Acura added to it also 😆
Have you considered Golf R or Subaru WRX? I don't know how responsible a FWD car with over 300hp going to front wheels will be in the harsh and bumpy roads up north. It already wheel hops and spins like crazy on normal roads.
@@janoycresnova9156 Golf R or WRX would make winter season more enjoyable, yes. But, then I'll have to compromise on the driving experience which Honda is AND reliability. I've seen some comments of owners of the ITS living in the North and with good tires it seems it's not much of a deal... Will have to adapt my driving accordingly also.
This is an awesome car but too bad dealer market adjustment markups and non-negotiable added accessories put the price out of reach for so many people.
My son has a Civic So that has the same shifter. He puts a glove over it in the summer because it does get hot
Next Episode: Andrea is tracking a Type R........😉
That would be freaking amazing 😂
Nope , as she said, she prefers the Type S and for many reasons which I agree with.
OH YEAH!
MADE IN JAPAN & reliable. A future COLLECTABLE car. Like a Grand Seiko watch. There is a reason why HONDA power’s the current World Formula One Champion Red Bull Racing! ❤
.
Oh we know what you're thinking with the shifter haahhaha. How bad is the wait to pick these up in Vancouver?
Eagles fans or Steely dan get the reference and Andrea Wink was classic!!
Wish it was quiter on the inside and had rear seat air vents😮
Integra type s is available in Toronto but type R not available any more in dealer!
How about Subaru WRX and STi?
I like the Golf R for what it is but there are way too many glitches and problems with the MK8. I'm hoping the 8.5 is a big step forward in reliability. As a car to actually own I'd pick the Type R or Type S
Only if they sell them for MSRP here in Canada. The cheapest one I found here in Alberta is 70k....
How is it compare to gti?
About the interior, that’s a Type R thing. Red in the front and regular in the back. That’s how they came and they stayed true to the design.
If the Integra had better seats and an optional sunroof, it would be an absolute homerun. The MKVIII Golf R is good on paper but is absolutely plagued with software and quality issues and just isn't that engaging. I am currently shopping this segment and I ended up just ordering the new Model 3 Performance, as much as it pains me. Hope to pick up an ND3 for the weekend in a year or two.
It will take take a type r seats swap just fine.
Chose my Civic Type R over the Integra Type S and have no regrets. It's the exclusivity (especially in Canada), the better flowing/integrated wide fenders, the bucket seats, and the +R digital gauge that win out for me. If I want slightly more comfort, I'll eventually swap in the Integra's damper module.
I am jealous you managed to get one in Canada. I run the FK8 LE ADS in my 2017 FK8. I wanted a firmer ride.
@@touringteg I got super lucky. Was only required to get the all season mats, trunk liner, and wheel locks, which put it around $600 over MSRP.
Just wish it was an ACTUAL hatchback (vertical rear hatch). And a coupe version of course.
Agree, a "shooting brake" version of both this and the Integra would be great. And the Integra should differentiate itself even further with SHAWD.
It is an ACTUAL hatchback. Check out the definition of hatchback and get back. It looks much better like this than it would with a vertical hatch door…looks like a minivan like that; no thanks.
go with the GR Corolla! Been loving mine for months now that you can get them for MSRP.
Stick goodness.
Manual goodness.
Shout out to Steely Dan!
I'm like Zack, I love all the sporty small cars, we live somewhere hilly so I wanted AWD so it was either the GRC or Golf R, I wanted the 6 speed so I think the Corolla won there, as well I am still iffy on VW maintenance and reliability so I went with the Corolla. Also the corolla was a little cheaper, though not by much.
That spoiler at the back looks like an after-thought. Is it even functional? No Mazda 3 turbo as a competitor?
Hell no the Mazda 3 is dirt slow. 0-60 in 6.4 seconds, 250hp and 320ft lbs it makes no sense how it’s so slow maybe it’s made to pull a boat?
There are 4 bangers n/a cars literally stomp the Mazda 3 (86 and BRZ) and that’s really sad and is why no one really cares to talk about it; it’s like that one poor behaved kid of the family.
Over sea they have a body color one
@@AstroZombie1prius 6.6
@@AstroZombie1it's more like 5.6 seconds 0-60 but I agree it should be much quicker based on the power numbers. It's likely due to that ancient 6 speed auto they have and then prioritizing comfort over sport
I had a 2002 sir, and the worst thing about it was the suede on seats. It showed wear very quickly. Should be leather with the red stitching
I’m 60 years old and drive a Civic Coupe Si…I love the Type R, wing and all, and would get one if I weren’t more focused on retiring in 4 years. My only issue is the high seat bolster, as you mentioned - I suffer from low hanging balls and the high bolsters would be problematic for me on entry and exit.
YOLO. Buy one, enjoy it, then sell when ready to retire and recoup much of your money (assuming you keep it pristine).
I’m 68 and balls still ok. :). Sometimes you have go with the roll! The R is worth it.
The CTR is a great value. How much more would you pay to have matching seats? Rarely do I have rear passengers in my SUV!
Not a great value at all.
Why would it even be more money ? It should be standard, it makes the interior look cheap!
Yeah, Zack nailed it, Golf R(dsg) all day long. But, if I was looking for a second car, Type R makes sense.
2nd car for me Is the Integra type S
In Victoria Australia, it's the Civic Type R starting at $73,600 plus on road taxes. The Golf R starts $10,000 higher. GTI is about 63k. No Acura available down under. I like its looks and I am 63. No better half to please.
I live in Arizona. Bought a 2023 WRX six months ago for $37,458. With tax and license it came to $41,345. I wanted an AWD for the mountain snow country in Arizona. Actual performance is very close between the Type R, Corolla GR and WRX.
@ubroberts5541 I had a 2000 limited WRX and sold it after 6 years. Big mistake. It cost $50'000 here. It was a four speed auto. Not fuel efficient. They still sell for that today plus tax so high fifties. I still have my MkV GTi after 16 years. Can't afford a new one. Short supply also.
Do you all make $200k+ in Australia? What's with your messed up prices?
@janoycresnova9156 No we dont. It is our Taxes and import duties on cars. Only cashed up guys abd gal's go for big name cars. I cant even look at a mustang dark horse.$100k. Corvette C8$200k or Z06 $340k. Many folks are stuck with old cars. Government wants us to go Electric. Yeah with what money. Crap power supply that has gone up so much. We are screwed here.
@@ubroberts5541I love the WRX but can’t get past that big center screen…does it annoy you at all?
Excitement, fun and great value with low maintenance and reliability, BMW may have a problem!!
Bmw is shaking in their boots I'm sure lol
Over 45- Acura.
Fan of Tokyo Drift- Civic
I don’t like the rear spoiler. Otherwise, it’s nice. I wonder how it compares to the Subaru WRX STI.
How does Andrea handle her coffee, cell phone, and do stick shift all at the same time?
Supposedly the move is to put the Integra Type S suspension ECU and put it in the Type R and it’s a much better ride and still tears up the corners.
I would love this car but dealer markups are insane. I have a 24 SI which is nice but obviously not a Type R.
