Am I the only one who likes the looks of the civic type R?

Everytime I see this on the road I fall in love. Im gonna have this car, mark my words!!

I honestly fell in love with the car because of the exterior design.

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

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

"The Type R is a cornering machine!" *every other car channel* "Let's drag race the FWD Type R against all these AWD and RWD cars and see how slow it is!"

I went to the honda service yesterday. while i was waiting, i took a peek on the showroom, and holy shit. There's a dark gray type r and i tell you, I spent almost half an hour staring at this thing. Ive never seen such a sexy car in my life.

I have a 2019 Type R and I totally agree - it’s one fantastic drivers machine. Personally I like it’s crazy looks - it is a Civic Type R after all :)

Finally 2 guys that love driving and not the luxury creature comfort ! The Type R is for people that love having fun driving and not for people that want cars that can park itself.

This Type R 100% asian Design.. for me it looks so gorgeous.

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

I own a 2019 CTR and I'm still watching reviews on this car. I love this car.

I'll say it again. There are a small handful of car-related KZfaq channels that I feel are just next-level in terms of the host's talent and communication ability, as well as the editing and production quality. Donut Media, Doug Demuro, Jay Leno, anything with Chris Harris, and Throttle House. They all have 1M+ subs. I HAVE to imagine you're next once the masses catch wind of your most recent videos. Keep it up. Currently the only channel I subscribe too.

If literally anybody else ended a video with “long live the hot hatch” I would’ve scoffed. That was glorious.

You guys at Throttle House as well as Jakob and Yuri, and Mark, and a few others sold this car for me. And now I want to say thank you!

watching your videos like reading last pages of lotr trilogy or harry potter books, returning to real life after xx:xx amount of time is hard and i get that feeling i lost smthng makes me happy and dont know what to do. thank god your videos hopefully will never end :)

I love my Type-R, my commute home from work is about 4km but I take the long way around town every single day because I absolutely love driving it. Not to mention you cannot take this car outside without getting a handful of thumbs ups and compliments. It’s so fast too, I would not want any other car. Great review!

"I don't know how else it could look when it drives like this. It'd be lying to itself if it looked any different." This perfectly sums up the exterior styling.

I personally like the look of the car except the back bumper, in black the car is lovely all around imho.

This is the probably the BEST Type R review I have watched. Of all the Type R reviews, you have probably notch it up with the ending. So cinematic, it does justice to this GREAT car.

SAVE THE MANUALS!

I own one so there's my bias but James said it the best way once you drive it you can never imagine the type R looking different its just not possible.

Loved the video guys. You both are hilarious, there’s been a couple videos (this one included) that I’ve genuinely LOLd while watching. I mean, full on laughing. 🤣 Picking up my 2019 in a few weeks... Can’t wait!!

I don’t find it ugly. I think Honda truly let the designers go, and that’s awesome. It could have a few less fake events but it’s still awesome.

I own one and I agree. At first the looks were a bit much but after driving it I can’t imagine it looking any other way. It fits its personality perfectly. Great video guys! ❤️👍👌

Best reason to buy this car - having fun at track days. That is where this car excels!

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...

This car honestly looks like the 2019 hatchback version of the TMNT Party Wagon I still love you Honda, my first sports car was 2000 Integra Type R

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

The reason why all the gauges are red is to prevent extensive strain on your eyes. If you're gonna be seeing the tach a lot, might as well make it the color with the shortest wavelenght to make sure it doesn't stress the eyes and subtily adds to the pleasure of driving this car.

I just bought one of these a couple of days ago. Best decision I have EVER made. I am never letting go of this beauty.

Civic Type R owner here... the 2020 and up were improved in several ways: suspension, braking, cooling, some cosmetics... there's a write-up on the internet. This IS the most amazing car I had ever driven and I've driven pretty much everything out there. This is a mean, lean, wings of a dragon canyon carving machine! I love when the kids turn their heads, some even saying, "look mommy... that's the car i drive in the video game!". ;) A car that can brake from 70 - 0 in 140 ft! C8 Corvette... 148 ft! A Car that hits lateral G's @ 1.05 (this number is even higher on the +2020) ... C8 Corvette 1.02! A car that with just an off the shelf Hondata Tune and E30 Mix is 360 HP (no bolt-ons) and runs flawless! A Car that's just over 3k in weight. It turns heads among the young crowd about as much as an exotic car does. I've overtaken other cars on the ramp going around them -- it can literally take curves within the curves! The car is truly a masterpiece of physics. Sorry Golf R owners, but as much as I admire and truly respect the performance, I don't like my car to look like a loaf of bread ;)

Daily driver of mine for over a year now and still loving every bit of it :)

People who think FWD means a car doesn't handle well don't know much about cars.

The intro never gets old either 😂😂😂

The boy racer in me that used to have an integra back in the day wants this so bad

This Car is a master piece of Engineering well done Honda For bring back the Type R Spirit, i just wish i had the money for one tho :) One day hehe Ohh btw Great Video

It's funny how so many people complained about how "racer boy" it looked. Now with the next generation they're complaining about how minimalistic it looks.

Great review! Making this fellow Ontario boy so proud! When are you guys gonna go on the smoking tire??

1990 to 1993 Honda Accords are still everywhere.

I own this car. I think the styling is great. It reflects the car's personality perfectly.

took 2 of my mates out in this car today on the back roads and they both had big smiles, this thing is absolutely savage and grips like a mother f*&$!er in corners and bends

I bought this car a week ago and i live it also poeple compliments on it alot .

I cross shopped all the hot hatches available at the moment. Ended up with a GTI. Ill always kinda regret not hunting down a Type R but the GTI is just a total package for me, like a tiny luxury car. Though if we had access to the i30 N / Elantra N over in the states, I would have bought that instead.

I own a Civic Type R 2018 & I love it. :)

Man i got mine a year after they released and i love it dude .

Crazy looks done right, the design is great the sound is great(well kind off), i am saving up for one, i just hope that they don't ruin it the next 2 years or so.

I so wish I'd gotten a Type R instead of a 2019 WRX. Love the WRX, don't get me wrong, but the Type R ticks ALL the boxes

I love this thing. It's a beast, so beautiful to the eye. There are few here in South Africa. You hardly meet one on the road. I just saw one today in colour white.

Subaru needs to bring back the STI hatch :(

Hey Civic Type R, you're an All-Star

The fact stealerships are still charging 40 to 45k for this is really killing the hype

I agree with Thomas. Gray is the perfect color for the Type R.

This looks great in AB. Have had my '18 FK8 for two years now. Best car and best daily ever. Was going to chip it, add a titanium exhaust, racing pads, etc. but I have to save up for a volume knob instead. Bone stock this car is a pure joy to drive and daily. Not fun to park with a large turning circle and low front lip. One of only two beefs. The other? The OEM tires attract more nails than a mani-pedi salon. And manage to convert at the earliest opportunity to racing slicks. The price of greatness. Ante up.

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

I’ll love a SI two doors body with the Type-R engine!

Love you guys videos

I absolutely love mine. I’ve had two Si’s and when I finally got the R I knew it was the better choice other than an STi

I actually laughed out loud regarding the Smash mouth comment.

OK! TAKE MY MONEY! .. o wait, I dont have any.

The diamond cut lights on the front of the newer Honda’s sold me !

Nothing like it. Best ever. Leaves haters in the dust!!!

Upgrading to this from a 2002 celica gt AT, gonna be quite the upgrade.

11:33 That's what she said!! LMFAO 😂😂😂

I sold my M4 competition 6 spd to get this car. I was an m fan boy til I drove a type R. I gotta 2021 type R. No M car is in the same league as a Type R. I love bmw so much I own an 2018 M550. I had a M2 competition and the type R just is in a another league as far as fun and handling. I did change the 20 in wheels for 18s and that took the car to an wven higher level.

Such a great ending! I am personally more of a fan of the N but I am glad that there's still a hill to be fought over at all.

The only thing that bothers me is just the rear bumper, which has a bit too much fake vents. Even the civic sedan has a better rear bumper design. Other than that, I think I like it!

I've always been a V8 Chevy and Pontiac guy but I think this thing is sexy AF. Awesome review.

I just got my 2020 updated type r with boost blue colore and real Corbin fiber in and out I paid around 67,000 in canada out of the door I know it was alot of money for a Honda name, but when I drive the car the felling you get makes the car worth every single penny to me . Thank you honda

The Smashmouth part made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

getting this in 2 years. lets go!

Standard hater - "I hate the way it looks meh it's for teenagers reee" When I park my white type R on Michigan Avenue in Chicago people stop and take pictures of it. Me -1 haters-0

That black and red interior is gorgeous

The “main” vs “cruise” buttons are because of Honda Sensing, which this gets in 2020. My 2020 Type R has “main” where this has “cruise”. Huge fan of the vids!

One time a CTR owner at a red light pulled up beside me and rolled down his windows. He complimented my wheels and we lightly conversed. Cool dude. i was surprised, I thought he would try to race me. the 1999 Civic EX guys just rev their engines at me... Like BRO. I'm just trying to avoid potholes, leave me alone.

The Type R's Catch 22: Most appealing to 14 y/o boys and most affordable for 40 year olds. The venn diagram shows a less than optimal overlap between those who love it and those who can afford it. I'm reminded of a friend who purchased a Ferrari a few years ago. He said, "I bought it to attract women. Unfortunately, it mostly attracted 12 year old boys." :)

Honestly, I love the way the Type R looks because it reminds me of F-Zero lol. I love how over the top it is.

I just bought a Civic Type R. I was looking at the WRX STI as well. Holy balls this Type R is fun to drive, fun may be an understatement.

Cool video guys !!!!! It was great to meet you both at K1 Speed Toronto yesterday!!!!! 😍👍👌✌️

Thanks for the vid. I love my Type R! The fake rear vents are the only thing that I dont like. The rest is just fantastic.

I currently drive a 17 sport hatch and i so want this car....

This looks so much better than the current one😁

luv my 2019 Type R inside and out goes like the clappers.

One of the soon to be rare manual transmission car left. Type R will always hold value. Especially is Honda decides to stop productions. 20 years from now. It’ll still be worth $30k.

Owning a '17 Civic Hatchback EX is the closest I'll get to a Type R ;_;

I know people don't like that outside but I love it.

I love this car truly a special vehicle

The fake vents are for modifications. It would probably hurt performance if they were open, but theres space behing them for ductwork and additional coolers

Definitely a fun car. I don't think these will depreciate much at all which is a bummer for those who don't want to sped $35k on one, but I think it's a great car regardless.

To love this car you should drive it:) I have Civic typeR FD2 k20(no turbo), so I thought this new TypeR would lose its originality, but after test drive I was so surprised, it still has this typeR soul and so power👍Huge Jump Honda well done

I like what the looks represent, even the basic civics have a little bit more angular design about them compared to the smoothed off feel that every other manufacturer is going with these days, but you see one of these and know instantly..... that's a type r! You notice the fakery with the light paints, I saw one in the dark blue the other day and thought it looked fantastic.

Wow.. Oh god please let me have it . Im happy for the rest of my life

This car's looking always makes me thinking of gundam

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy my favorite Canadian motoring journalists whoopie!

"Main" refers to Honda Sensing Cars. It's how you turn the Lane keeping and adaptive cruise control on and off. The reused the same wheel buttons I guess

M140i is the best hatch

8:45 enough said. Also, 14:24 wtf lmfao

love the Type R! absolutely without a doubt a stellar ride!

Love the quietness, power, room, could use a faster respond infotainment system, love the comfort mode, glad the spoiler is not block rear view, I think it looks fine.

If they sold for sticker I'd buy one but I'm not paying the $6k+ markup dealers are pulling
