Should you BUY a used 2019 Honda Civic Type R?
Vložit

- The Civic Type R has now been available in the USA for almost three years. One challenge for buyers has been the markup that dealerships have been putting on the hot hatch. Under the hood is the 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 that is pumping out 306 HP & mated to a 6-speed manual. It's exterior may look outrageous but does have a lot of functionality to it. On the inside you will find some seats that look like they belong in a race car and that usual Honda fit and finish. Is the 2019 Honda Civic Type R a car that you should buy?

Should I? No.
Do I want to? Yes.
I know that feeling!
Lol! I want one but I better get a Forrester 😐
@@jek5568 Look at the cx-5 or cx-9. Mazdas really stepped their game up. Super modern interiors with a Turbo! just a thought man, got to do it for the kids.
Do I want it for a day? Yes, long term relationship - no. haha
Can you afford....NO
Short answer: Yes it’s a Honda, it will last forever..
MAGUS bruh you can full throttle this car for 50k miles and it would probably still run like new lol.
@@miroslavvarga3707 expensive? you just broke, get ur money up🥱
@@ronnypooky 🤣🤣
I’m a truck guy I don’t like cars but this little thing caught my eye honestly it’s really attractive atleast for me🤷🏽♂️
I am so glad that you like this one!
I think it looks great as well and if I happened to have nearly $40k or even money for those monthly payments I'd get it tomorrow!
Buying used Type-R’s protects you from paying those insane dealer markups, so I already assume the answer will be yes before I watch the video.
36k for used is not a bargain. At this point you can find new ones for 35k
@@dickhart36 You can't just look at the MSRP, the cost beside the MSRP is crazy, tax, care etc. You might need $40K to get a new one, so is not a bad choice to having a used one.
@@kencai6803 well, you pay same exact taxes, title, license fees on used ones too. Now you can find ones at MSRP. Which is around $37k So new one is much better choice.
@@koston777 What about the depreciation? From my experience, I bought a used 2000 miles civic sport, it even cost $3k less than the new civic base model.
In Honolulu, the dealer scalping fee is already about $3K for the regular Honda models, not considering the markup for it's supercars hot hatch status, known performance and such. As I commented, this particular one, being a 2019 with only 9K miles, and looks immaculate, and was traded in, probably for something they preferred more out of personal choice, I think it is a good deal.
The Honda Civic Type R is my dream car, when I see one on the streets, I be like "Is that a Type R!!" I would love to get it in the black or the white.
Andres Marquez mine as well bro I may get a used one 1 day soon,my 15 9Th Gen Si will hold me over till then
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Very good point!
@@TekkengodJets Goodluck bro, I hope you get it, take good care of it.
Andres Marquez Ha actually not that soon but one day I’ll own for sure Honda for life🏎🏎
exceeded my expectations so far. just got mine last week. i'm surprised how many dealerships are still sticking to above MSRP prices. i had to talk to almost 40 to final snag one at MSRP brand new.
Congrats Bryan! You did it well!
How fast is it? That 2.0L has to move that thing PDQ.
i work at honda and each dealership only gets about 4 type R per year. they won’t be test driven without being approved first and we charge about 4k over sticker. at first it was 7k over
It's the best DD ever built. It's a turbo gokart with minivan functionality, and it's aging into its styling. It's not as ridiculous looking as it used to be.
@@drdysl3xia795 It's way faster than my stage 3 full bolt on Focus ST was and it feels like an F1 car compared to a minivan in comparison if that helps. It's the best all around factory car ever built imo.
I always look forward to your reviews and input Joe. Keep the great content coming
Thanks for saying that! It really means a lot!
Great review. Just bought my 1st import ('08 Civic coupe) and love it. I'm 63 and have owned approx 50 cars, mostly muscle. The Civic is like a go kart and truly fun to drive. The R is on my wish list. Thanks for posting.
Awesome 👏 I fan of anything fast as well
Joe you are sick with it. That's a compliment. Love your content,love your reviews. Thank's for you and your crews hard work.
I really appreciate your are saying that! Your support means so much!
I’m new to your channel and I really love how you do your reviews. They’re really in depth and you go over the small intricate things unlike a lot of other big name car receivers. This is definitely gonna come handy when I go to purchase my own civic type r, thank you very much! You just got urself a new subscriber :)
I bought a Pre owned one 8k miles on clock.
Sat in there yesterday changing the radio stations and it was owned by someone who drove around listening to radio 5, heart 70s and magic.
God bless that person!
Raiti gives the best car reviews. Thanks for getting me through this quarantine
Man this reviews are the best I just saw two different ones and they even have more subscribers and they kinda sucks this guy super enthusiastic but solid very cool informative about everything about the car covers everything in a cool hype type of way .. I gotta watch this reviews always !! Is the best thank you !! Every single car this guy reviews find something especial something unique about the car details and history just amazing
That really means a lot Cesar! Thank you for letting me share it with you!
I appreciate the hustle man, great videos. I enjoy when you tell us the price haha
Thanks for saying that!
The type R styling grows on me every time I watch a video or look at photos of it.
by far the best value on the market today
You are so very right about that brother!
Thanks for the great review! You’re very objective and know your facts! One of the few reviews that didn’t make a big deal about the rear wing. I love the wing on my Type R. There’s rumor that the 2020 models may have a different trim model with a smaller wing. Imo the bigger wing fits the personality of the car.
Keep up the the nice work!
Thanks for saying that! It is the same thing with the STI. Just get the wing!
I love how you always talk about eating in the back seats 😂👍🏼
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
10 years from now, your gunna see all the high school kids pollute the car meets with this car
Yup I agree
They won't know how to drive the stick
Are you serious??? 10 years from now, no highschooler will be affording this. And if you say, "daddy will buy it" that can apply to any car. So, no.
Brett Griffith im 16 and ik how to drive a stick lol
Naw. More like 370z’s Lmfaoo
"We drop down and what do we have? A waffle iron!" Joe I can't stop laughing!!🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you my friend!

“...Bring out the syrup...” LOL
First time watching ur video u only have 20k subscribers but now u closing in 150k!!! U deserve it
Thanks for being on this journey with me! I really appreciate your support!
The type r seats are super comfy. I sat in one and damm! It feels way better than most leather seat cars
I totally agree with you!
The seats is one of things I hate about car. I daily drove one for a few weeks and the seat was really uncomfortable for me.
I love the Type R my buddy just bought a 2019 and let me drive it in R mode oohh boy I gotta get one!
I ma glad that I could share this one with you!
Apple Car Play gives you a Garage Door button on your touchscreen when you are near your home if you get a Homekit Garage Opener.
Did u get one?
This isnt even a question, but I will still happily watch the video!
Thanks Austin!
Austin man I live in Washington I want the Accord tourin I think I heard it has the same motor like the type R but they are not cheap
@@RaitisRides of course, keep up all the hard work I love seeing the Raitis Rides family grow 💪
@@javierarreaga8035 yeah they both have the 2 liter turbo, the type r just has it tuned to perfection and the aero & suspension set up on the R is also next level so it's hard to compare them even with the same engine, but if you gave it the right tune and some coilovers you could easily have a Accord Type R
Austin 😂😂 yes that sound sounds good accord type R
I saw this title and immediately thought
“...We don’t answer obvious questions.”
Love the channel
Thanks my friend!
🚙🙏🏻🚙Great review As always Joe!! I love my 19’ Type R In the same color!! It’s fun to see a review of my exact car! I was fortunate enough to buy mine at MSRP! I highly recommend it! I have owned 4 different years of Civic Si in three different generations!! The Type R is on a whole other level! Keep up the incredible work brother!! God bless!🙏🏻🚙🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing your ownership experience and thoughts!
Nice man , if you don’t mind me asking , how much did you put for down payment, because I’m really trying to get one and hopefully they’ll take like $4,500 down or maybe even $5K I just feel like they’ll probably ask for more simply cuz it’s the Type R
Got one in that exact same color that I bought brand new back in 2019. This thing is really fun to drive!
I love this guys videos they are always on point
It’s not a bargain in WA ... pre owned or new ... dealers strike again
This is so true!
41 grand for used 2017 in az
The dealer in Burlington, WA wants 10k over MSRP. I told them they were crazy.
I’m in WA to Seattle they overprice this car and I’m not even into Honda anymore I just seen this at the car show we had yesterday wanted to see the specs
I wish I could purchase direct instead of giving a cut to the dealer
You could review a toaster and I would watch. Like always great stuff 👌
Thanks for saying that my friend.
Actually I'd like to see that, it would be funny.
@@maverickmason4946 Zonking the burnt toast
Tbone T as long as it has not fake vents, no zonks!
Please review a toaster
great review as always..keep up the great work!
4:22 you almost zonked yourself with your one liners . Thanks for the videos by the way .
It sometimes happens! LOL
$36K for a used 9K miles??? What a ripoff. I hope that no one falls for that.
Internet price $35,500 as of 11/18/19. You can buy a new 2019 for $36,600!
Notice the OEM strut tower brace was missing. This car has been modified and only the original owner knows it’s true history.
Anh Pham yup, used and abused.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective!
@@brolyv5802 yep.its a type R it will stand the test if time. Swap all the fluids throw a set of tires on it. Runs like new. Type r was made.to be abused. Just call her your wife 😉 don't let her out of your sight though. People love to key these as much as a Tesla
@@aphamnet I own a WRX that I have modified. It's scary if not done right. At the end of the day, people just need to do their research. If they do, the will not pay a dollar over MSRP for any Type R, as you rightly point out!!
I’ve taken mine up to 130mph and it feels so freaking planted, my other cars sway after like 80mph. Amazing machine
Definitely I would take a Used Type R over a new Toyota with my eyes closed that many of their Cars still have Brake drums in the rear ? That's 90's technology, Engines without Turbos also ? still way behind not to mention that short 3 years Warranty that goes before you know it
Thanks for the testimonial... for us potential owner.
had a brand new one in black in 2018 and I LOVED the car.... was constantly bending the stock wheels on normal sized bumps etc... ended up trading it but I miss it!!!!
Great review and nice driving!
Joe, sorry for all the post, I'm not good with my twinkle toes just yet but I'm gonna be!!👏🏾
No problem Bennie! I appreciate you watching!
Hi Joe. Love your videos. Can you do a video of a type r vs sti? The pros and cons for both and who would buy each one. Since you have owned both I think you will have a very realistic and unique perspective. Thanks.
Thanks John! I will get that together for you!
Thank you!
Was thinking about you making a new type r video and boom you did
That is how I like to do it!
Always enjoying your reviews sir !👍👌✌
You are so awesome for saying that!
Get the syrup out! LMAO 😂. Another great review Joe!
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
I wonder if Honda will ever make another Type R cause they might put their focus on the Acura Type S lineup
Loved every second of this video
short answer. not in 2021 these markups are insane
This is a REAL car review. Thank you for all the clarifications Joe. I was watching Doug Demuro's version, and he was honestly a complete idiot in terms of describing the different engineering aspects the Type-R has. This is why I love your channel, because you know your stuff lol.
That really means a lot! Thanks for your support!
Me on an interview.
Employer: What do you like to do?
Me: I love to Zonk stuff.
Employer: ???
Whoever traded that in lost their shirt. It amazes me you never get pulled over! Looks like a blast to drive.
Its a wonder how people don’t get pulled over in these things haha
You had to much fun driving this bad boy. Good for you Joe.
You better believe it! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
i love when joe said "im gonna zonk it "
Thanks for letting know that!
He says that in every video 🤣 I love it too tho
Drooped a like soon as I saw the type R
Thanks man!
Got a 2019 Sonic grey last week for sticker in Texas. Loving it 😍 I guess if you contact literally every dealer out there you might manage to price match and get for sticker closeby but it's very hard for type r even when you say you have a quote but a few dealers did agree for sticker after negotiations for me while most of the others still have markup of atleast 4k. I heard 2020 will be announced after Thanksgiving and that they have tentative dates. Dealers are unwilling to budge even besides that
Amal J how much you put for down payment? I’m really tryna get one too 💯😩
That looks like a FUN ride!
The civic type r is my favorite car when I was watching civic type r I was surprised
I am so glad that you like this one!
"Get the syrup out." LOL
Thanks for letting share the laughs with you!
I got my 2017 CPO last year with a 100k mile warranty and love it
Congrats! Well done man!
You brought up the rev hang, is it just an easy ECU flash or more involved? I have been saving up for a "practical" sporty daily for awhile now, these are top of the list. Thanks for the videos.
Food mentions:
Waffle iron 🧇
Syrup 😂
Crackerjacks
You crack me up Joe. “Wrapped in rubber bands.” 🤣
Steven Tyler I’m so glad I can share the laughs with you!
Liked for the He-Man reference.
keep doing your thing bro
Thanks ma!
I bought my type r on the used market. I had to do basic maintenance but even after that it was well below msrp. At the end of the day it’s still a civic. The front brake calipers have been used by evos for years so the pad market is great, and the rear brakes are standard civic.
This car should be a 2019 Honda Civic Type (R)aiti. It's well deserving for such a great review. Doug DemurdereR didn't do this car justice.
You are so very right! Thanks for saying that!
Doug DemurdereR hahahhaha, well said
Doug leans more on luxury cars. He nitpicks when it comes to mid range cars. Double standard
If I'm going to learn how to drive manual, I'd want to learn manual in a Honda Civic Type R... Or a Miata XD
Love the vid, Joe!
learning how to drive manual in a $40k car? brave
You can do it!
@@kashi2000 This is true!
Learning in a 2019 ZR1 for the first time with a passenger just to see their ass crush the seat cushion into diamond would be pretty cool.
A civic or miata would probably be the best and easyest to learn in so good choice.
Awesome review and SGP ftw!
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Great review 👏
Joe you have a Type R? I thought you had Subaru STI
I had a Type R for a year!
@Andy Cabrera You are right Andy. Just for a year.
00256 type R CW checking in here... Glad you made this video... Throw a hondata base tune on this.. for another 1000 engages your talking 345 hp on a 3100lb car.
Was next to a 2016 hellcat at a light stock tires.. told the guy I would give him 50 bucks if he could beat me to 80 from a dig... No contest... I laughed all the way to 80 as his tires spun for 3 seconds straight...
Best bang for your buck. 36k for a car that will be worth 25k + in 5 years is worth it... Then you take your type r sell it and have 30k down for that used GTR you've wanted now your a 10 second car owner.
Thanks for sharing your great thoughts Clinton!
I have a 19 si and I feel like I’m missing soo much by not getting a type r. I think the previous owner of the type r in the video put a rear motor mount because the car didn’t have wheel hop at all in this video.
Another great Vid man!
I was wondering why you know so much about Honda & the Civic, now you let us know that you own one!
Sonic is my favorite color!
(The ugly "chinese car" who got the "N" record was the Renault Megane....I belive)
I wish I could figure out if I wanted an STI or a Type R. I have looked for the last 2 years and cannot make a decision. I swear I just need both lol
That is a hard choice! Trust me I know!
Raiti's Rides haha oh I know, I’ve been following your channel for awhile, love your Type RA btw. Thanks for all the phenomenal reviews!
STi for canyons, type r for track. STi for all weather car, Type r for summer mostly. STi for dig races, Type R for roll races. STi for 5 seats, type r for 4 seats. STi for classic rumble, Type R for 3 tip exhaust.
Damn that color 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Joe, since you have owned both a Focus RS and a Civic Type R which one would you buy if you had to choose between the two?
Those buttons on the steering wheel I prefer to previous Honda buttons. The print is on the inside of a clear button now, so the print will not come off.
I love Honda pls give me a coupe....pls I dont need a grocery getter I want a classic Type R coupe! If you need 4 doors you dont need a Type R. But still love it. 👍
Viking Express what if I picked up 3 fat bitches after the track?
You’ve already reviewed a type r, talk about your title right off the bat.
Michael because I upload one video a day sometimes people miss it the first go around. This is the first used Type R I featured. Thanks for sharing yoru feedback.
Im glad i got this color! it looks so much better in person!
You did well with that!
Misael David what you put for down ?
would love a type r, but the 2nd gear grind issue still does not look to have been fully resolved by honda. a quick google of the issue will show just how many other people are still experiencing the same problem :(
Above msrp for a used car. They’re looney tunes.
A: it’s a civic
B: it’s a car therefore slow
C: you can find them for msrp from standup dealerships.
* starts slow clap *
_"it's a car, therefore slow...."_
I don't quite understand this statement. Are you a fighter pilot? Lol
I’m sure it was dogged out for at least 4k of those miles.
Unlike most other shit sports cars this one can take the dogging
Love this video and car! Ugh. I'm in split decision. I love the Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring, Type R in that color, but looking at either the Acura RDX Technology or Aspec trim in the blue. Both are practical, sporty, lots of room, and the handling is sooo stiff yet drives like a cloud. Decisions.. lol
Love it how he gets lost for words and then comes out with some random stuff lol
.43 seconds into the video, and I'm already spotting the zonks, the fake air vents are one and the hood prop is coming up!! Come on Honda, do better! Awesome car no doubt, but do better.👍🏾🇺🇸
You have a very good eye!
Did you zonk the new supra twice as much cause it has 2x as many fake vents. Did the new vette or supra or mustang or anything you can buy set any records for their class? Nope! But yeah, hate away bro...😑
I heard the chinese car needed a new engine after it beat the record
If that is the case it still goes down as their record and not Honda's.
Makes sense lol made in China
Not with the current used car prices..
I hope you know Joe, it sounds like that because Honda sends engine sound through the speakers, that's why it sounds louder when driving
I would rather have a Veloster N with performance SEMA package lol. Honestly, just a Veloster N with lsd. I just wish Hyundai offered a blue like Velocity blue Mustang.
I totally can understand your decision.
But after few years the veloster would loose its value compare to the Type R
The Veloster is a great car but I think you will always have a little brother complex if you chose it over the civic
Austin couldn’t agree more! Knowing deep inside that the R is faster,better looking ect...
@@Tcho2100 Doesn't the Veloster have a 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty? 5 years down the road or 50,000 miles later you are only HALFWAY through the warranty with bumper to bumper coverage meaning if it breaks down the dealer will still fix it for free for another 5 years or 50,000 miles. If that does not mean holding its value than I don't know what does.
It's still my dream car 😍😍..
I am si glad that I could share it with you!
I was clutching my seat during the drive. Impressive...I want one
I wish in Seattle WA these were the prices. Because man they rack this up. I was looking at the accord, that caught my eye but I moved on from Honda’s long time ago but still have a special place in my heart for them. This is where I started. Now I own and bmw 335i and Audi A4 love my Audi because it’s a six speed.. it’s rare to find my model in a six speed.
Thanks for sharing that info.
The car sounds like a leaf blower.
Te sound is terrible on this!
@@ericf5976 I take it you haven't seen one wih a quality exhaust. Sounds viscious, like an Evo.
>got his RS walked by a type r
I own a Civic Type R, and no one should be buying a Used Civic Type R at current market prices.
Thanks for sharing your thought on this one.
Y?
Dung Nguyen congrats 🎉
Tcho Laury why do you want to pay new MSRP for a used car that been enjoyed by the previous owner.

In the area I live in I just recently saw a 2018 type r with 5k miles going for 30,500 the price is getting more affordable at least in my area
1:07 Car from France (not China) holds the Nürburgring lap record for a front wheel drive record and it's the Renault Mégane RS Trophy-R (now it's Jan 2021).
😭 I WANT ONE
It is a great car.
No. Buy a 2018 Focus RS like I did 💪🏾
Remember HONDA motor best of the best
@@RR-nz2ve I'm just hating 😂 , I love the type R too, always been a SI lover
The LE is a great car!
@@Emadavid They are all great!
I’ve had my type r for about 3 weeks got it for 32.8 from carvana I’m really glad I got it. Honestly my favorite purchase ever.
ajdmotorcycles1997 how much you put down ? I’m tryna get one too
@@louicruz2611 5k i financed through my bank though
"smack em in the face" lmao the greatest xD
Almost got a CTR with this exact color but then it sold before I could even go see it. Found out one of the salesman bought it. It was funny because a color like this should've sold as soon as they got it but it sat on the showroom floor for 5 months. Just one more month and it could've been mine but oh well.
What if they made an Accord Type R? Maybe like a 2.5 liter inline 4 turbo with a bonkers torque rating?
The Type R Civic is a awesome machine. If I owned one though I would have to replace the racing track tires with something that would hold up more than 10,000 miles. All Honda needs to do is get rid of those fake grills front and back and they would really have a winner. As it is I'll give them a 9.5 out of 10. Great job Joe.
Yeah, I don't like the fake grills either.
Thinking about buying this car, but really don’t like those “waffle irons” what could I do to replace them if I don’t want to just have gaping holes in the car?
