Hyundai is leading the charge in taking the FWD crown from Honda. With Honda pulling out of Formula 1 and other motorsports, Hyundai is ramping up its touring car and rally efforts, while also investing millions into the new Hyundai N division. And so far, they have proven to be a real force when it comes to front wheel drive hot hatches.

What do you guys think about Hyundai? You think Hyundai N could rise to the level of Type-R?
They sure could, especially with their new focus on wanting to be mentioned in the same sentence as the big 3. What else could be possible: Genesis' G vehicles getting more love fr the aftermarket tuners or creating a flagship coupe reminiscent of the NSX in its inception phase?
It's Honda or Hyundai??
Not convinced yet but have definitely paid attention to N products recently. Too bad Elantra N looks so weird. And Veloster N - very rarely see them around compared to Type Rs
What he is not telling is Hyundai cars don't last long the they can not be push
Hard they engine some time will blow up or stop running.
No thanks

THANK YOU
well Honda is no more wonder why my 2002 odyssey have 240hp stock i like older j series newer ones are fake vtec they took the name for gas saver instead.
F1 2021 world champion Max driving a HONDA
@footballcoreano Merc is the Goliath in F1 while Honda is but a David, so they dominate. So glad Max is able to win this year! Max is young, talented, ambitious, aggressive, skilfull ...and will dominate F1 in future provided he is with a great team!
@footballcoreano yo chill man, I don't know what you say are ture or not. But you don't suppose to say things like that.
I hope Honda watches this. Without Racing, there is no Honda.
They really have to get back on track.
Only money talks now unless people start buying sport cars they won't make them.
Look at the Dodge Charger and Kona N. Both fun sporty family cars.
yep, they should back to where they used to be.
a car that meant for speedfreaks.
Without racing Honda has the average American family to fill their pockets with suv money
To be fair, JD power is a terrible award company. Their awards are bought and used for marketing instead of being a legit review company
Not to mention “initial quality”. Wtf is that. That’s like saying congrats, you started and didn’t break down when you were sold at the dealer.
Was looking for this comment, surprised this channel even considered them in the video.
And jd power also values different issues as the same. For example they value one broken panel as the same as one blown out engine. This is why if you look at the graph, Dodge ranked number one.
Facts
Not to mention they ALSO take into account warranties...as far as I know ALL new Hyundai vehicles come with a 100k mile warranty for everything, including their engines that LOVE to grenade themselves @@AnontheGOAT
Before Hyundai can claim the Honda crown, there is one thing they have to do. They need to make truly special engines/powerplants. For instance, Honda is famous for their K series design, but Hyundai doesn't really have anything that hit that legendary status. Their designs look good, and they have come into their own and there are some special cars out there. This to me is the final step. And lately, Honda has stepped it up with the Type R.
On a side note, both companies need to go with dual injection technology. Carbon buildup is an issue. Catch cans and seafoam do not cut it.
Hyundai's newer smartstream engines have both gdi and port injectors, they've been making them since 2020 with their newer cars
Of course variable valve technology like V-tec
The last part is extra maintenance. Every 30k miles go to the dealership for 200 bucks they will clean ur valves
I guess Hyundai makes one of the fastest N.A petrol engines for the budget markets after Honda's I-Vtec/Vtec Petrol engines(which are better, faster but less refined and less torquey).
Hyundai has a really good v8 in some of the genesis cars and in some kias but sadly it's not in any newer cars of theirs, it should have had more applications sadly
Hyundai's been having one of the best glow-ups in automotive history. It only took them a decade to go from making mediocre boring economy-minded cars like the old Elantra and Sante Fe to making fun, interesting, truly cool cars like the N models and stuff like the Sante Cruz. Even the new Elantra and Sonota impress me. Great job Hyundai!
@footballcoreano I think you replied to the wrong comment..
Yep cant wait to get another Hyundai this spring with the Kona N.
Agreed. 8 years ago, you wouldn't catch me enjoying a Hyundai car, but now I'm thoroughly enjoying my Veloster N. Their dealer experience here in the US still need work though.
This simply shows that there's nothing called "LATE". Better start Late and be better afterward
@@mworld2611 he sounds like a Honda hater.
Kinda interesting how Honda/Acura and BMW are constantly accused of losing the faith in racing and Motorsport in their fun cars in order to make more money from SUVs; yet Nissan/Infiniti, Toyota/Lexus, Volkswagon/Audi, Hyundai/Kia/Genesis, and Mercedes never have to face the same kind of flak from “enthusiasts” that refuse to buy their fun cars new.
Ever since the Korean released the KIA Stinger back in late 2016 early 2017. You knew they are different from what they used to be.
If they offered with manual it be perfect IMO
@@Iman-mn1wv Totally, A RWD Manual sedan(i know they also come with AWD) with almost 400hp whats not to like? Its like a modernized Infiniti G35/37 sedan
Is the Forte RWD or RWD? They need to make more sports coupe.
Keep dreaming
KIA has the most engine issues of any company and are just hiding that fact.
The Korean brands have been killing it in the car industry lately, they’ve definitely come a long way
Very long way!
@footballcoreano are you replying to every comment with this?
@footballcoreano ok Peter
r/carcirclejerk
@footballcoreano No offense and I feel you but I've never seen a Hyundai go over 200k miles .
One thing Honda and Hyundai have in common;
The new Integra shares the same taillights from the Genesis Coupe
cool fact to know, i didnt know this ty
@Eli Empire good one.
do they really? i thought they were just very simular in design but not the same
And have very similar logos like an H inside a square. Really I thought Hyundai was a bootleg version of Honda that would fool buyers through their logos. I mean I still love some of their cars like the Sonata, Elantra, and the Volester, I kinda made mix the two up
Honda has still one if not the best motorcycles
They do! But that's another video! Thanks for watching!
Yamaha takes the edge over Honda for motorcycles that for sure
@@marcoblo2489 Depends on the market, off road models sure give that to Yamaha, but for on strictly on road Honda is the clear winner of the two.
I’m not jumping on the bandwagon so quickly. The new Integra was certainly nothing special however if I remember correctly the GSR and Type R Integra came after the base models, even the FK8 came after the base models. I would imagine the possibility of a type S or even Type R Integra in the not so distant future. I can’t imagine it underperforming the FK8 which is one of if not the best front wheel drive car ever made.
Same bandwagoning doesn't take us nowhere, rather wait and see.
It’s the chassis that is disapointing
If it came in 2-door, with the iconic DC2 spoiler, and some different wheels it would look wayyy better.
The new integra looks like a spaceship
Exactly every time honda/acura comes out with something the whole internet cries.. then you have 10gen accords and type rs pushing 400hp plus and everyone wants to pretend they were with the squad.. most of the people complaining about the nsx online never drove in the first gen or the second gen.. and lastly honda never left there roots in the late 2k .. they had j series accords tl, and cl.. those cars were dominating there segment up until the turbo ks .. its all bandwagon..
I work at a hyundai dealership and I will say they definently have gone up in quality. The valoster N, Kona N, and the new Elantra N are awesome cars.
hopefully they don't end up like YF Sonatas over the years
Fuck a hyundai go with their grown up big bro , Genesis ! I would love to be a proud owner of ANY of the new 2021-2022-2023 Genesis cars ! Literally would kill for any of them . They are insanely nice especially for the price.
@@henlolneh genesis is still Hyundai
@@ghostlegit ...
@@HoodOnFire What?
Imagine a world where Honda brings back high revving naturally aspirated rev
Integra but with a manual gearbox and rwd. Keep it barebones to keep the costs low. That’s all they need to do. In fact I would put a deposit on it rn.
It's all I could ever dream for
So you mean a S2000? Lmao. There is a reason why these types of cars aren't being produced anymore. Because nobody buys them. Manufacturers are here to make money not to please super niche JDM/car enthusiasts ! Your best bet if you want a high revving NA 6 speed RWD is to find a nice S2k and buy it before they reach insane prices in the next 5-10 years. Sucks but its the truth.
@@henlolneh You're not wrong! Still sucks going forward for gearheads. When it comes to RWD, at least we still have the GR86. But I'm a FWD fan and I'm glad there are options now.
@@henlolneh sports cars aren't mass market cars, they never were, the executives have a warped expectation from sports cars
Its called a GT350. Buy it now before its too late. The same glow up can be said of Fords of late...
Mitsubishi: "first time?"
Subaru: "the walls are closing in"
Mazda: "i only got one trick left...pray for me"
I've had 3 velosters in the span of 5 years just because I loved the car so much. Eventually wanted a Veloster N but I changed my mind because every single one of the 3 I owned had major issues engine, transmission, electrical, paint quality you name it with cars that had less than 15k miles on them. One of them the engine had to be replaced at 2.5k miles I mean wtf.
Exactly . I got my kid a turbo veloster , at 110k miles it needed timing chain cam sprockets etc $1900 . I've never owned a car that needed any major engine work ever over 30 years . I won't buy anther one
This guy don't know his cars . Tiburon came with a v6 170hp also. Genesis coupe 4cyl was 270hp v6 Genesis was north of 340hp
You must be leasing...the reward comes in owning and customizing. 🎄
@@thejake8099 leasing is for sucker who want a shiny new car everything they upgrade to the new iPhone model. I pay cash because to hell with interest. Also I don't mod Korean 4 bangers.
Veloster n had a different engine. Not sure which previous veloster you have, 1.6, 2.0, 1.6t. Have 20k on it with little to no issues.
While the Honda engine was a huge part of McLaren's success in 1988, but it really was the chassis that made it into a world-class machine.
Just like those McLaren almost destroyed Honda lately suffocating the engines and make them look unreliable. Soon as they changed the camp with RB and AT they were reliable and fast
@@endlesstwisties This is vehemently false. Honda even in it's last year had a bang up average engine. Renault, Ferrari, and Mercedes were head over heels better.
@@endlesstwisties It was Hondas job to provide the engines. They only have themselves to blame.
@@nf1369 what? Please don't make people laugh.
There was a time when I would never have considered a Hyundai, but now that has changed. As always, good video bro!
Don’t buy one. I’m a mechanic all those polls are paid for. Korean car are trash too many recalls on engines and transmission
@@josechavez7200 you must not be a good mechanic 🤣

@@josechavez7200 Scotty Kilmer would agree!
Who else thinks that Alban is extremely underrated. The sheer quality and precision of his videos is amazing! I think he deserves much more views.
Your style and delivery is excellent! I was on the Honda “bandwagon” for many years (Integra, three S2Ks, and a 3.2 TL) and I’ve since switched to the German brands (Mercedes-Benz and Audi). However, I’m rooting for Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis as they continue to glow up.
I’m crossing my fingers for the day they have their “NSX moment”
Imagine a Genesis-branded supercar that undercuts the new Vette in price but offers similar - or even, better -performance.
(Also, if anyone from Honda/Acura is reading this… please stop calling the new ILX an Integra. First it was Mitsubishi with the Eclipse “Cross” and now you guys. Other manufacturers are guilty as well *cough* Chevy “Blazer”. It’s a damn shame. 🤦♂️
I’m sure they’ll sell but many of the real enthusiasts - that can afford new versions of the cars we had back then - are not buying it.)
I am kinda of a bandwagoner too. Although I like Hondas alot, I have switch to fanboying Dodges, toyotas, and hyundais
I totally hear ya, there.
It’s the disrespect to legendary names for me. Hell, they could call it the Acura Precision and it would still sell (and not be the laughing stock it is now. It’s the automotive equivalent of putting a big “KICK ME” sign on someone’s back. 🤦♂️)
you guys and the names.. the integra, ilx, rsx, back to integra... its the same thing.. entry level acura.. thats it.. the integra name doesnt make the car peform any different.. smh
Thing's can't last forever. I think Honda is getting away from the their old performance oriented ideals to get ready for their electric vehicles. They've been teasing about that for some time now.
10:56 Best stelling Hyundai Pony circa 1985 was also fastest rusting car in Canada. Haven't seen any on the road in decades.
As a fellow Canadian, I can confirm this statement😏
The worse thing about Honda is Honda fans. So many Civics were ruined with fart pipes/wings/body kits that Honda actually thought they should cater to the lowest common denominator. Then we got the class-less CTR with all it's fake vents and spoilers. I hope they find their way.
I think the CTR is great but the trend for Honda is in the wrong direction
Honda knows and they changed their design with the new civic, less extreme design
4:03 I love you for including the Accord Type R. The EUDM 6th gen Accord IMO is one of the most beautiful cars Honda has ever produced and I'm so glad that I have one. It's sadly not a Type R, but still beautiful nonetheless
Yes! Very under appreciated car!
The good ol TSX Accord Type R ! People slept on the 6speed TSX here in the states. That was my first car as a 18 year old! Bummer I sold it because I literally have not seen another 6speed TSX in my lifetime lmao...
@@albonfilms Preach!
@@henlolneh Aaah that's indeed a bummer. I really want to upgrade to a CL7 EuroR in the near future. That's like the ultimate slept on JDM
the accord is really reliable no cap

I wish someone high up can see this video so they can attack even more coz I really like the N versions and the N- line cars so much. Here in South Africa the i20 is almost as popular as civics ,polos and Corolla's.
Dude I absolutely love this channel. When I sit down to watch something now, I always navigate to your channel to find something to watch. I love learning the history and interesting stories of all the brands I owned and loved growing up.
Thank you Frank!
i love every single one of your videos, they are literally all well-researched and your storytelling skill is unmatched. you have a talent, you are amazing
You just keep pumping out such high-quality content, it’s insane. It’s impossible not to watch what you come up with next
Thank you, my friend!
Man that i30 N looked so damn good. That’s the car we need. The Elantra looks funny to me
This video was very informative and entertaining to watch. I just found your channel. Well done man
Having driven my friends veloster n with perelli summer tires pretty hard, the grip is crazy it’s like it’s on rails. It’s very confidence inspiring and not sketchy at all
Rip honda, it was my favorite lawn mower company
Lollll
Still last longer than Chevys 🤣
JD Powers? If you believe that marketing crap, I got a bridge or two to sell you.
Look at the recent non-profit Consumer Report on most and least reliable brand. All the Japanese brands including Subaru and Nissan and even American brand like Buick were more reliable than Hyundai, Kia or Genesis. The latter of two which were in the bottom 10 least and worst reliability vehicle. Genesis was particularly bad as they were ranked 4th lowest.
Let us not forget Hyundai is an automaker/chaebol who hides recalls and only after brave whistleblower both in the US and Korea came out and the South Korean police RAIDING their office and started investigation are they forced to do recall and they are still hiding some issues with the newly introduced Smartstream engine lineup. Thus, they won't get my business as they are the same corrupt chaebol but now they have "so much tech and features" to hide behind. No Dr. Alberto "Mr. BMW" Beerman or styling or advertising can fool anyone
Another great video, keep at it bro!! Love the content. Very informative
This was great and I agree with everything you said here. I chose my ES over an Si 3 years ago because of the reasons you outlined. It's not as fast but it sounds great and has EVERY option you could want. Leather..nav..6mt..heated seats..sunroof. I'm upgrading to the Elantra N sometime next year. I was waiting for the integra and I was extremely disappointed by what I saw. I'm 36 so I'm thinking in my head that at the least it will be a true sport sedan. Clearly I was wrong. And with the crazy markups on the type R..I just couldn't see buying one even though they are awesome.
Honda/Acura is struggling right now from what I know with sales, so that’s a factor of it, and their fail of the new integra and the civic being nothing special right now and I don’t know much about their racing status right now and the nsx being underrated and no one buying them. It’s just a struggle right now but I think they will get their stuff together and if not they will definitely leave a legacy that won’t be forgotten. I will always respect and love Honda.
Civic is struggling to sell? Things are selling like hot cakes and the new integra isn’t the greatest but it will still sell especially once it comes out in a sport trim
@@sebastianordaz535 there sales are struggling becuase of the whole chip crisis that all the cars need, basically a chip is needed for each car to finish it and so sense there’s no chips being produced that fast and being delivered that fast theirs straight up thousands to millions of Hondas/acuras sitting waiting for chips so that they can be sold.
@@hobo_man7614 lol. I’m sure every new car is waiting for chips.
And a bonus is that Hyundai name sounds similar to Honda, which will make the transition to Hyundai easier
@footballcoreano bro chill out
Yeah no
@footballcoreano honda wasn’t always unreliable in f1, only in recent times when mclaren had honda engines, but look at red bull now they have honda engines and won the world championship in f1, so i dont know what the hell you are talking about
@footballcoreano wait, you didnt just say european cars are the most reliable LMAO 🤣 , quite the opposite, you must have hit your head pretty hard bud you ok?
@@auraskadante6273 he’s korean,that’s why he s anti japanese.
Love your channel. I have a part Channel coming out my own. Had to mention that you left out the upgraded Hyundai GT V6 Tiburon / Tuscani. The original tiburon's were all four cylinders. But the upgrade from 2003 to 2009 had a 6-speed manual with a V6 engine making about 180 horsepower from the factory. That was the spiritual predecessor of the Genesis and the Veloster
From 2008 to 2016, Hyundai and Kia were trying to go after Nissan in marketshare (Hyundai Genesis Coupe vs Infiniti G37). From 2016 to 2022, Hyundai is now going after Honda’s marketshare (Hyundai Elantra/Veloster N/Sport vs Honda Civic Type R/Si)
Honestly, watching these videos and how you honestly explain the backstories to companies and explain their main key-points is so on-point.
you've earned a sub for me, and honestly Hyundai realy ain't afraid of taking off the gloves.
Will hang on to my FK8 for a very long time, it's more than I can handle.
Enjoy it! It's a fantastic car!
I have been watching your channel for quite some time now and has recently noticed a relatively sad trend here, your video views tend to fluxuate a ton and it really hurts to see that even as a viewer. The videos you produce are top tier and the amount of detail and research that goes into one is extremely professional. It should be illegal for a channel like this to be this underrated and only have around 100k subscribers, I'm pretty sure you can even compete with Donut Media production quality lol. I hope to see this channel grow very soon and I'll be looking forward for more content here!
Let's not forget Toyota giving the reins to Gazoo Racing for their sports cars. GR has been dominating in series like like WEC and WRC. Winning Le Mans the last 4 years in a row. They've rolled out GR Supra, Yaris, 86, and soon to be Corolla.
Are you mad🤣🤣🤣 They are still making Civic Type R which is the best fwd hot hatch out there, much more capable than any road going hyundai. Hyundai N cars are great but not nearly as good as Civic Type R
As a Honda-fanboy I totally agree with you. Pre 2006 Hondas were still fun and reliable, compared to the new ones that are more of a mainstream product. Gotta love me some fat-ass NSX Type R(89) ! I`m still consider buying me some Integra type-r :)
89? The NSX came out in 90 and the NSX-R was 92

I had the Genesis Coupe in 2013. It had 274 HP in to 2.0T, not 210 as you reported, and it made the underpowered FRS look like it was sitting still. Absolutely no comparison.
This is a new automotive rivalry involving nationalities. In this case it’s South Korea vs Japan, reminds of the automotive rivalry between UK and Germany. Or Italy vs France.
Next decade its gonna be Germany vs czech
Excellent video! It would've been interesting to mention the Genesis brand in how it has moved up in the ranks relative to its Japanese, and even German rivals, but considering the vid's direction, it makes sense for not including it. The focus is affordable sporty cars after all, and you did great in showing Hyundai being a viable alternative in its segment. Even in the face of electrification.
Thank you for watching! I wanted to mention them but had to cut it for time!
11:22 Lol this whole _scoop_ bit 😂
Awesome video. Since I drove 2013 Hyundai accent 6speed manual. Moved from Honda and Toyota to Hyundai. Getting new Number line elentra sport and N line.
But.. what about the current best driver's hot hatch still being the civic type R? I'm kinda lost on the reasoning when that's excluded.
Road & Tracks 2020 Performance Car of the Year was the Veloster N, beat the C8, Supra, Huracan, Evora, Miata, etc. When the 11th gen CTR comes out I'm sure it'll be a close race.
@@albonfilms yeah but thats the opinion of one publication. Sure its a great little thing, but as far as most enthusiasts are concerned the type R is still king IMHO.
@@albonfilms look at it in nürburgring, dominated cars 3x to 4x it's price
@@albonfilms the thing is Honda haven't lost its root, it just reduced the available sports car line ups to apparel to a bigger market. They are forced to just like any car manufacturers that wants to be profitable.
@@albonfilms After looking at the Veloster N at a number of different places instead of just Road & Tracks, that car is mildly interesting and that's about it. Underwhelming DCT, manual is fine but not as good as a honda's of course, seems fun but basic. You based an entire video off of that one subjective article? Bruh.
Honda is going through the same thing Toyota did twenty years ago.
Toyota got pulled out of it by Akio Toyoda, their petrolhead company president. Let's hope something similar happens with Honda.
It also took Akio awhile to give his influence though.
I think everybody in US forgot that Honda is still doing racing with NSX in SuperGT GT300 and GT500, also this year Civic GT300 will replace the NSX.. also Honda still doing Indy stuff. HRC still doing MotoGP stuff
I’m confused why the veloster N is so praised and not the genesis coupe. Is it just that it’s a good hot hatch with practicality. my bk2 2.0t rspec (with my weight reduction) is similar to weight and power as the N. Tuning potential is somewhat similar as well.
I just got the new Honda si and omg it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. HOnda knocked it out of the park. I’ve tried most of the competition including a few listed in the video and none of transmissions compared. The Honda was quiet when I wanted it to and loud when hitting the revs. The Hondas are now just so good it blows my mind. And I’m privileged to be riding in one
Honda is the best engine and liabilities..

Nah but Honda reliability is still untouchable. Hyundai did get better but they're still nowhere near Honda/Toyota in that regard. Honda only started making boring cars because that's what the market wanted especially due to rising gas prices. But even their boring cars have the distinction of being highly customizable. You can turn virtually any Honda into a 300hp+ car. They're very easy to customize and the engines can handle it. Not many other engines can handle extra horsepower on top of stock horsepower.
Can any one you know make a honda today into 300 hp
My dad bought a second hand Hyundai back in 1998, it only STARTED to have some faults until 2017, the quality is insane from Hyundai

Hyundai might score higher ratings in quality, but still lower in reliability than Honda.
@footballcoreano My man has posted the same thing like 8 times, helluva bait post.
Great video! I own a 2019 Veloster Turbo(1.6T 201CHP) and this video just made me fall in love with my car again. I think if I had any say in what Hyundai should do, it would be to focus on designing a better DCT(or put the 8 speed wet dct in all cars) I feel like they already have a great manual transmission, but that DCT would dominate it if they get it right. Other than that, I am sad to see the VT2 to go away, by far one of the coolest cars to own for me. Literally to make that car fun, its only stiffer engine/trans mounts, sway bars/brace, grippy tires, and an intercooler resonator delete and BAM!!! you got yourself a good little hatch.
I feel like you should have mentioned Hyundai's possible mid-engine hatch they're making, would have been a good way to end off the Hyundai section.
Literally drive the same thing (w/the 6 speed manual). All though I'd love to try the DCT.
@@Pika_Gabe the 7 speed is nice, but I wish they put the WET 8 speed dct instead(lot more reliable)
@@ffs_auggie Agreed. They could do something similar to Volkswagen with the GTI. I know that GTI owners love that DCT to no end.
@@Pika_Gabe yeah if the gti wasn't FWD people would love it. i wish hyundai made that new mid engine hatch AWD(rwd seems a little boring)
No offense but I agree with the multiple people in the comment section that say I have never seen a Kia or a Hyundai that has lasted more than 200k miles or even 150k, while there has been many Toyotas, Hondas and even older Nissans that have gone over 1,000,000 miles with original engines and trannys, its insane. Not even European cars have gotten to that point much less Korean cars, while im impressed with the performance and tech they have used on their cars, I highly doubt they will start dying when they reach 150k miles.
lmfao No
Hyundai is still crap, engine failures and fuel fires that burn entire cars down
Apples to apples you can see the quality difference in person and at 300k miles
Absolutely excellent video mate. Really informative big love from the UK 🇬🇧
Thank you Dean!
I am a Honda owning, previous Hyundai owning, but still current Hyundai fan. I'm involved in this world to a degree and do not see any evidence of this claim at all. If anything, I see a new, potent entry to the affordable import market. I currently drive an FK8 and in the groups I associate with, there are all sorts of Hondas, and a growing number of Veloster N's. This isn't adding drama, but is a welcome addition to the family.
You know what else I’d pretty damn good? The quality of your videos!
Bro, you made an awesome golden era of Honda video & I believe this is your golden masterpiece.
Good for Hyundai. I’m glad they’ve created the N. As a car enthusiast and outdoorsman living in the Northeast, all I wanted was Subie to make another turbo awd hatch with a manual. They did not so I went with a FiST. 4 yrs in and It’s been all smiles.
7:03 I really want to watch this video. Anyone have the CZcams search to find it?
Always appreciate the extra effort put into your foreign language name pronunciations.
I totally agree with this video. I grew up in the 90's and I saw the golden age of JDM cars unfold. I was a honda guy and still have my 97 prelude. But today I won't even look at a FK8 type R.
Recently purchased 2005 Honda Civic Si hatchback.
Springs
Adjustable suspension
New tie rod ends
Intake
Shifter
E brake handle aftermarket
Engine is in excellent condition.
I’m so happy I found this channel.
I expected something else to be said about the new integra, because back in the old days, the 4 door integra was standard, unlike the new which is also unfortunately a reskinned civic with 4 doors, i would think of it the same way as the cls was to the e class or a cc to passat, honda did the same but waaay back, for f's sake, the car is not even on sale yet, and making only a sports car which does not sell is not in the companys mind, what else could i expect from a jdm supra gtr fanboy
I’m waiting to get the new 11th gen Si but the Veloster N hatch is on my list. We need a Si Hatchback once more
Hyundai being mentioned in line with the Type R, but still does not have the same capabilities of the Type R.. I think the only reason why people would pick a Veloster N or Elantra N over a Type R is if they don't have the budget to get a Type R lol
to be fair, the best driving car we have in our family is the 2020 Hyundai Accent.
Compared to the Corolla or Nissan Altima, it just drives way smoother and the power delivery with the diesel engine is just perfect.
Love seeing the agp db2 gsr slalom ... can't wait to finish rebuilding mine
I just subscribed because of this Beautiful Video! Yes honda has been losing their edge & it is sad & with that New "Integra" that was my all time favorite car just hurt my feeling smh but love the videos!!
This video changed my mind about Hyundai, tbh I thought they were boring cars but now I see it and I think they are truly underrated. Great video❤️
They seem to be under the radar. They stole the WRC crown from Toyota, TWICE. I’m surprised they didn’t make an AWD Turbo i20 to compete with the GR Yaris, considering the i20 WRC beat the Yaris WRC, that would’ve been a huge marketing win for them, and we get another Turbo AWD Hot Hatch to play with.
@@devandrasimanjuntak1646 I bet that if they haven't made it yet they'll make it soon or they already have reasons to not do it
Maybe Honda is not what it was a few decades ago, but they are still one of the best automakers out there, along with Toyota, Mazda & Suzuki.
All this and I'm still uninterested in any vehicle Korea can put out lol 😂😂😂
Im subbing!!! Btw, your Spanish pronunciation is on point! Do you know how to speak it?
I give JD Power and Associates awards and their research findings as much weight and respect as a fart. They were once upon a time legitimate but those years are long long ago.
I know that Honda is the focus of this video, but Hyundai was so difficult to ignore, I just embrace them like my favourite toy cars, their progress is amazing and noticeable, I love every single N models from them, even their N Line models I also accepts them without demerits thinking!
I love my genesis coupe. I have a 2016 3.8 and i never get tired of driving it. kind of disappointed you only mentioned the power stats of their first generation 😭 rip the power increase we got in later generations like mine
I have a bk2 3.8 aswell, and is a hell of fun, also today with just 3° of temperature, doing an overtake with the rear slipping in an S was so fun XD and he just states "ok car" pffffff
