The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah, that's cool."
I'm also the producer for the Winding Road CZcams Channel:

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly press vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, it's pretty nuts. Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
This ain’t the first POV I’ve watched today🤷🏽♂️

I hate the color, but only because I'm jealous
Lol the color is so nice tho

Guys, it's obvious he's not talking about the original comment ffs
i only need like 40,000 more dollars and ill buy this
Eh wit that much I’d rather buy the Toyota Supra2020 or BMW Z4
@@lilmoco8305 lol you'll need a bit more dolla for those
Lil Moco you mean the BMW Supra?
My uncle has one but won't let me drive it
Oasis Odyssey it’s Toyota Supra, they got it back
Proud owner of a 2019 type R. So responsive and quick. Much better driver than most people realize it and more fun than my focus RS was
They did let me test drive it!
What do u do for a living to buy one
I make products for NASA love my 2019 Type R
The only way they’ll let u test drive it is u haf to be able to get the car based off credit
Mike Budalich of course it’s a better driver than a Focus. That’s like comparing it to a pinto.
i don't think the topher has ever moaned & groaned as much as he did driving the typeR.
@@stephenplays560 seeing how he seemed to enjoy it at the end of the video, it's definitely a happy ending.
earthcry lol 😂
Definitely a stimulating experience 😉
lol I noticed that as well
It's GDI though....
13:33 I think this guy just came
dallaskyd wtf 😂😂😂 you right

It actually splattered on the windshield! Get out the handkerchief !

This car is my dream car. No Ferrari, no Lamborghini. I want this
im with you. i just wish i could learn stick AND afford one
Like any other guy I like my supercars and exotics but I wouldn't complain having an fd2r
It's slow. In utah one lost to a lsv eg hatch by half a bus
@@tagekumarpaul7474 Learn stick? Lol it ain't hard.
Same broooo
I'd lose my license so fast in this car..
Leuff es despasito
I almost did 😂 don’t believe me, follow me on ig @fk8_stacks
Not sure how old you are, however with age comes maturity. If you're buying this car to drive fast on the street then it will either end up wrecked or you'll destroy your license & insurance. If you want to drive this car fast, then go to a track & sign a waiver, not on the street.
A radar detector can save a lot of hassle
@@poker_18rs92 Eh, if you drive fast, you drive fast. As others said, radar detector is pretty much the only way. It's not even reckless driving. Don't think of it like you go 100mph in a 30 zone or something. But like you just come on to the highway, send it, there is no one around, and you are doing 130-150 easily. It's just how it is with a strong car. I overtake someone in mine (not a Type-R), and I'm already waaaay above legal limits. Did I endanger anyone? In fact I only managed to finish my overtaking faster. But... it's still heavily illegal.
I'm an university student and I went to my local Honda dealership and pretended I was buying one LOL. Aw man I can only dream
May your dreams come true ✌️
Juan Serrano nah man 36K isnt that bad you can do it, that’s is very achievable, you aren’t buying a 570s lol 😝
Vapezerker Reviews Wish it was that price at every dealer you go to. They markup their sale price to get more money than the msrp sticker price. A company can’t legally force a dealer to sell the car at that price. All a dealer is they are buying and then reselling a car to make profit. At this point type r s should be closer to their msrp because the hype has dropped down a bit. When hype surrounds a new car (even a used car in some cases) dealers take notice and try take advantage of it and raise the price to get a larger profit margin.
Dank Spank yeah I do too, these stupid marketing gimmicks 😱😂
@@macron-hs4jh thank you. Just a few more years haha
Wow this is exactly what I needed to see!
-Very thorough showing of the space and features, even putting down the back seats 10/10
-Excellent drive plenty of time to fully experience what it would be like to drive the car 10/10
-Not to much talking, but the talking you do is informative rather than redundant 10/10
- Good video quality and good audio 9/10
- Not boring, very enjoyable to watch all 20 minutes 10/10
You easily produce the most entertaining, informative, and enjoyable car review/impression videos on youtube. Thanks for the awesome video. Also, living vicariously thru your vids btw. And fantastic audio.absolutely love the binaural setup so much!
Genuinely one of the best car channels on YT. Love your relaxed review style and genuine enthusiasm comes through. Fantastic work.
You are my go to for car reviews. No BS, just straight to the point. Thanks for what you do! Keep up the good work brother
I've had my Type R 4 days and I love it. I've never had such a versatile car. Its power, speed and drivability are well established. But it's also an excellent family car. Loads of leg room and height. Easily accommodateing my 6'2 son's, lots of comfort from all its seats and I've just been to the supermarket and carried the weekly shop including 30kg of dog food with room to spare.
Out off all the reviews ive seen not one is this the best one ive seen, its the one that motivates me the most on getting one goof job TheTopher
I bought my Sporty Blue last year ( UK ). Best car i have ever driven, great handling and a wonderful gearbox.A proper weapon.
its so nice
right when i wake up you publish a video for the new type r. great start to the day man. thanks
No one at all
Honda Civic driver's at 3AM
Mr.Soggy Waffles I have a Honda Civic this is accurate
Lol facts
😂😂😂😂
I'm a civic owner. But it's only 2:17am
Mr.Soggy Waffles this car sounds like a hairdryer I. I what you mean man
Man that type r is outstanding, even cooler that you got to drive it!
I am only half way through the video and I want to buy it right NOW. Lmao
Harry me toooooooo even though im so broke rn HAHAHAHA
Preach!
Me in my 6pd fj ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sound test seems to be unique to your channel! Love it
@@mynameispaul718 You can see the name on his infotaiment system
I've got the 2018 type-r with 18,000 miles. CARS INSANE.
All of your observations are right on. I love my Type R. Best car I've ever owned by a wide margin (including an Audi S4 Wagon and a WRX STi.) The driving experience is sublime, and even after a year with the car, I really, really look forward to driving it every day. I switched to 18 inch wheels, it was the right call (even if I did pick up a little more torque steer). Nice job on the video.
That drone you hear on the highway is the Continentals. I put Michelin PS4S on mine and that road noise is gone.

Great review brother.
This will be my next car.
Just found ur channel and by far my new favorite review channel! Congrats on ur success as a CZcamsr may u have many more happy and successful years. I am here for good and cant wait for ur next video
Bought a gorgeous ‘19 Type R for my wife a few months ago, we LOVE it! There have been more than one full blown fight over who gets to drive😉. We have done road trips and she commutes with it to work daily. Other than the ridiculous wheels and tires, there is little to fault about this car. Thus far we have both embarrassingly rashed wheels, the first time I have ever done it in any car... My car is a ‘13 manual FRS (bought new; stock engine, modified suspension, brakes and exhaust) and my oldest son drives a MK7 GTI with a DSG. The Type R is clearly the fastest car in our household, by far. Prior to the Type R my wife had a 2018 Si which has to get honorable mention, for the money, that car was BRILLIANT! Unfortunately, someone smacked her head on at a stoplight, totaling the Si.....
Dude, your whole family sounds like a clan of badass race car drivers. Awesome. Please adopt me.
Evan R we love our cars! I have two more boys approaching driving age....my 15 year old wants a Dodge Challenger (slightly disturbing, but at least it’s interesting and he really made up his mind) and my 11 year old (who can already drive a manual😉) wants a Z Car. Where we will park all this stuff and we will insure everything is going to be a real trick😂
Cool preferences from the young'uns, but..... based on their ages, I sense the possibility of a familiar FRS in one or both of their futures. 😜
Evan R that’s a very distinct possibility, although the little bugger may just end up with my wife’s Type R as his first ride. Yeah, we’re the coolest parents ever😂😂😂
Robert Rishel would you say it’d be worth switching to smaller wheels at the expense of torque steering?
When you literally love everything about the car
“nice little rev limiter here”
My dude, second or third time I'm watching this clip...living vicariously through you! Hope to have one next year! Thanks again.
Were you able to get one ?
@@matthewsegura3384 Give me YOURS!!?? LOL!! I'm still working on acquiring one for myself!!! You put any (more) mods on yours??
@@jeromecooke5219 I wish I had one lol the closest I've ever seen one is in a youtube video 😂
This car is DEFINITELY atop of The List fir me to own soon. Been wanting this Type R for quite some time
Finally someone in the automotive enthusiast world admitted that front wheel drive is an advantage. Hallelujah!
Civic type r rwd would’ve sold 3x as many units, and would be a hell of a lot more appealing.
Jmike773 by a lot heavier do you mean like 150 lbs more? Marginal difference imo.
@@alanthesalamander2327 Three times as many? I highly doubt that. Front wheel drive isn't hindering sales.
J J maybe that was a bit of a stretch. When I first came out I saw a lot of people saying that it drove fantastically, and the power was there, just that people wanted to have a fun rwd platform
Go watch throttlehouse
This video is like a sign. I've been looking at the R for the past 2 months after financing my Q40 (g37). Once I pay off the loans this one is on my list. The smallest tire size you can get for these is 18 to clear the brakes.
Thanks for the good video. Was fun to ride along with you while still here on my lunch break. I too own the same exact car in SGP and it's a blast to drive. Again thanks for the video.
I've had my Type R for 2 years now. Once it shredded the OEM tires I fitted 255/35 R20 Kumo. No more spinning when launching anymore. I get a little chubby when I drive it now. What an awesome car...
1:50 did he just "boop" the steering wheel on the badge xD
Bamboozle tho
bruh, its soo boopable tho, jus look at it
If you love your car you love your car I guess
This is a really good, fully-comprehensive review. Great job!
Thanks for sharing this. Currently have been the market for a new car and the Type R has been one I'm giving serious consideration.
I think my 1999 Honda civic ex will have to do
90s civics are great tuner cars. Huge community behind them, huge aftermarket for parts. Lots you can do with them. I had a 98' Civic LX and I regret getting rid of it :(
@@1blackice1 i'll buy myself a ek4, then tune It 100% for the track, brakes, suspension, engine, transmission, aero, steering wheel roll cage, tires, wheight reduction, and i think i can do this with less than 12k dollars for a track car or even for time attack
Yessss! I've been waiting for you to do a review on the 2019 CTR!!
I’m 18 and this has been my dream car since 16. Bought a 2017 this April and use it as my dd. Best car ever
I never actually thought about getting a civic but this one looks and performs amazing it's now in the list of the 5 car's I'd buy when i can that is.
Just got a 2019 ctr and everytime I drive it I just smile the whole time
SAME!!! Big cheesy grin too!!!
This brings me back to my 2000 sir Honda days
I own a Type R and went down to 18 inch wheels and there is some torque steer but... I actually love it. Very addictive car to drive.
Same off set and everything just smaller?
I was curious about that factor, because I think the torque steer issue is only relative to the Type R itself. For example: I'm willing to bet the torque steer you're experiencing now is not nearly as severe as a Mazdaspeed 3.
Evan R torque steer is very light.
Thanks man, I’ve always wanted a type r and I wasn’t to sure about getting one I definitely think next September I’m buying one
I love these videos
I have an older civic but I love watching these
This is strangely calming
This was a really fun review to watch. Insanely informative about this excellent car. Thank you! And the sound of this car is fantastic!
Nice real world review - thx for compiling, and sharing 👌
This is the video that convinced me to buy mine and i havent looked back since
I have an SI and I need to keep reminding myself that the guy in front of me doing the speed limit is not mess with me. He's actually doing the speed limit
6:38 - Is that a casual S2000?
yep hahaha in a very "similar" color
I've seen that somewhere before 🤔
Yes! Pause at 6:41
Awesome vid! Very well put together!
one of my fav cars in one of my new fav colors, great video!
I have a focus RS and if I didn’t have that I’d get a type R. I didn’t like the way they look at first but damn it’s grown on me what a piece of engineering
I’m amazed how quiet the car is and not as loud.
NanoReeferKeeper I think they should increase the exhaust sound to mask the road noise ,even a switch for piped in exhaust
I’ve been waiting for this video
I have a 2019 SGP type r. I LOVE it. It has full bolt ons, and is tuned on Hondata. Right around 400hp. And man is it a FUN car. I love it. Really one of the best cars I’ve owned.
Absolutely beautiful car. The more I watch these videos the more I want to get one as a weekend toy. My top 3 cars to get right now is the Type R, M3 e46, and the S2000....decisions, decisions....0
Man this car looks so good
Its my daily and you are spot on
I am 100% confident pushing this thing to its limits - finding the limits was a reset of physics for me - just next level 1g+ loads on street tires.....incredible grip
Sometimes I forget and then I push the car and it all comes back......and then you remember its stock lol
My 18s go on soon - 265/35/18 cup2s ...18lb forged wheels....cant wait
Congrats on 100k!
I finally got to drive one at work the other day.
It was a blast, I was surprised how short the throws were with the manual, but super easy to drive. Can't believe how well it handles for a FWD car. It's fast too.
If I had the $$$ I'd buy one right now.
you can see that BMW ride the shoulder in the side mirror cuz you took that corner too fast 😂😂😂 9:58
@Zabi Wanaga It's 5 series lol
Watching you go crazy with that interior in view makes me wish that my normal civic turbo was a type r lol. One can only dream.
Literally just feel in love with this type r. It’s my personal mission to get one one day
6:41 I like that there was a Honda S2000 going the opposite way after pulling out the car park.
Best part
I wouldn't trust myself in but godamn would I love to own it
Getting my 2020 model on Friday and this has got me hella excited. Nice upgrade from my Renault
It looks exactly like my 2019 championship white, I lived in the cool climate and give up the AWD in the same group, choose civic type R, and happy without any regrets.
Not gonna lie, anytime I see that color I think the guys at the paint booth just shot it with primer and slapped some clear coat over it
Is someone flying a remote controlled plane or something when you get out of the car? The buzzing killed me hahaha
Grass cutter. Sounds louder than this car incidentally.
I made a civic meetup joke to myself when I heard that and chuckled.
Hondas Lawn mower engine
Nice car, great review. Love the colour combination too. Good one !
NICE video and great way to explain the FK8! awesomeness.............
there's actually 2 levels of traction control "off". If you hold it down for 2 seconds in R mode you get it "fully" off.
I just don't understand why a Manual FWD "hot-hatch" like the Type R doesn't give you a *manual hand-break lever* rather than the no-fun electronic one.
I'm surprised people still don't understand til these days. If you're making every civic with electronic hand brake and then design one just for the typeR? That doesn't make financial sense. Why put money into design a new compartment when there's one existed for millions of civics. Another reason is weight. The electronic is lightweight compared to the manual hand brake, because Honda takes its time to slash a little bit of weight in every corner of the car. Weight is very important in a performance car and Honda goes all out to achieve this level of performance. Another reason, you need too get over that 'old school' thing and accept that electronic is better than those ancient hand brakes. All luxury and high performance cars come with electronic these days.
@@nartin86 The manual transmission is only for fun, so why not stick a manual handbrake for fun too?
@@nartin86 electronic hand brakes are most certainly not better than physical.
I know what you mean. You feel more engaged when you press and drop the e-brake than a button.
TDN yeah. At the end of the day, it’s a sports car based off of an economical people hauler but a very fast one indeed.
Just bought one in Blue 2019 all around really fun car to drive very happy with it.
My Type R is the same color! I’ve had it for 3 months now, driven 10,000 miles in it already. Averaging 26mpg overall, 30mpg on the highways. Sad they haven’t updated he infotainment system to the great systems in other new Honda models, but that’s one of my only complaints besides the road noise and drone on the highway. If I could change anything: get 18” wheels. With a 9.5” wide wheel with a +45 offset, there isn’t much change in torque steer but you can fit a 255 or 265 size tire with more sidewall. Beyond those complaints: I love this car. It reminds you of the simple joy of driving. For $36,000 it’s a really fun car.
Sean Kealey wtf in the US it’s only 36k, here in canada, it’s 50k
Even though I am 6ft9 and cannot fit in a CIVIC (trust me I tried), I still want one. These things are just too cool to pass up on and the fact that it still offers a slush box makes me ever so more tempted
You should get a Miata!
lol
@@jakeq3530 Ironically I ended up buying a 20 Civic Hatch shortly after writing that comment in 2020. She's got 24k on the clock now and I am very happy. Standard sport trim nothing fancy like a Si or Type R. I also like Miatas but it's very hard for me to operate the clutch I can hardly move my legs in that tiny car
Fun fact, the volume rocker on the steering wheel is also touch sensitive, so you can scroll your finger over the rockers and it turns up and down.
Solid review my guy
Boss man you back it down sweet
I was involved in a serious car accident last week where a car made a illegal turn pulling in front of me and I t-boned them. Tomorrow I’m headed to the dealership to test drive this and I’m looking so forward to it. I loved my accord but I might have to switch to the type R. Love the review man it’s so informative and I felt like I was driving it.
Soo... Did you get it?
9:57 bmw got scared
from a shitty type r ? wtf is honda
@@kafakesen5349 its not shitty xD
Kafa Kesen as a BMW fanboy myself you would be surprised to see where the type R sits on the Nürburgring top 100 and which cars it is ahead of ...
Mark A dude why would you like type r ? or js honda at all. they got shitty ass cars for people those who cant afford actual sport cars
Kafa Kesen nobody said I like it you illiterate piece of shit. I own an e92 bmw. I am just informing your uneducated ass that the type R is outperforming top German cars on the Nurburgring.
Awesome video!!
Best car review guy out there.
Literally a dream car, great little review!!
type r is a lifetime experience
engine, gearbox, suspension simply the best...
Omfg...seriously...this beast...When its making turns, I visually felt that's so smooth...Almost compatible with a super car
I can't stop watching this video i keep coming back for some odd reason
I am in love. This is officially my dream car!!😍
Would love to see you do a comparison between the type R and the Veloster N.
That interior is a beauty
I just got myself the Civic Hatchback Sport 2017. I like it a lot.
I have the 2.0t accord. I can’t wait to leave work so I drive my Accord hard everyday. This engine is amazing 🔥
Dont have an accord but the 1.5t ext civic, the cvt is kinda a downy but my god can that thing handle and get on it on fairly quick. Such a great feeling mobbing down the freeway or cornering backroads on the way home after a long day...
Your reviews are so unique and refreshing. Thanks for the great content.
Awesome video man👍🏽
I bought one today, picking it up tomorrow !
