Ive had mine about 15 months now and i couldnt agree more with you. Car is absolutely perfect. Cant really find anything to complain about, especially with the mods, its only gotten better than it already was.

It’s not a 55k dollar car. It’s a 46k car. Markups don’t count toward the actual build quality of the car.

My fl5 was built in Japan, don’t have any issues at all

I’m at 5k miles and 0 issues actually window was so smooth and snug and tight I was pretty amazed of the quality of the window.

My biggest gripe is the backup camera. It’s like it’s from 10 years ago. My 22 Bronco I traded for my FL5 had a higher definition backup camera.

Which mod helped the most getting that bypass valve noise when blipping the throttle? Intake?

LMAO THIS COMES UP ON MY RECOMMENDED AFTER ME BUYING ONE ON TUESDAY after watching the video: kinda figured it was just very small details. since I bought the cad I've fallen more in love w the car everyday

The swift are more stiff springs than the eibach pro kit springs, when compared to the factory spring rate

Pretty affordable upgrade to help with suspension feel is swap the damper module for the one in the type s. It’s a couple hundred bucks but it’s plug and play and softens up each mode making it more comfortable to drive.

I want one since I had a 2014 SI. It was a great car after owning a modded Evo. I loved the civic interior. I think the type r is a perfect balance.

if the steering wheel "cuts" are on the lower left side, its most likely from your pants/shorts when getting into the car. Happened to me also since its a bit tight to get in due to the seats.

As for the suspension, I've heard you can buy the Integra type s module to make it loads better

Esse carro é um sonho! Estou muito satisfeito com a compra! É a primeira vez que ele é comercializado aqui no Brasil!

whats the tire side wall profile?

Can you explain the recall thing with the window part you heard? Like details. What all and where did you hear that.

Let me tell you the scratches on the steering wheel it happens when you get into the car you scratch it with your legs with staffs in your pocket, could be a zipper too it happened to me before

Get the integra type s damper control module and it will be more comfy.

Front Honda embelm?

If you are bothered by any of the things mentioned, this car is not for you. If you buy a Type R and complain about it being stiff😂 then you missed to point of this car

The upmark was enough to make me buy my wrx

The window rattle is from the application of the tint. I don’t have tint on mine and it doesn’t rattle. My previous car which was a wrx didn’t rattle until I got tint. I asked how the tint was applied and some shops use a device that applies pressure to the window to make it easier for them to apply tint. Some even take apart the door card. In other words, a shitty tint shop.

yooooo i have a 23 Si and my steering wheel is cut but at least it’s minor and on the very bottom of the wheel

Rear bumper extensions at the bottom corners look new

Im on eibach spring and i fly off the seats over the slightest bump too

AeroflowDynamics rear spats :)

You can get them pretty much msrp now iv found two dealers one wants 48 the other wants 48.5

Rear bumper ext , also the tail lights look darker

You can buy a home link mirror from the Accord and replace the FL5 one

Hey, what color is that? Or is it wrapped?

I had a feeling this is one of the best cars on the market right now. Your car is nice, but you need to pull those wheels back inside to make the car look good. They stick out.

What color is that type r?

Better than your VB ?

Bro my 23 wrx ain’t even 6 months old got it brand new 0 miles an it’s window creeks an rattles when 1/4 way or halfway down

Ur garage door opener and usb type c issues are both interchangeable :)

The markup was enough to make me buy a Corolla 😊 no regrets..a year ago .. in California Honda dealers wants 17 k . over the price 😢 no way ..

He said test drive one? Hahaha I had to pay $47,365 just to test drive it😂

the honda badge the new mod, now give me my 2nd FL5 plz!

U added the front lip

#1 reason: broke

did john cena get it at msrp? just curious

Waste gate actuator noise, rattling windows, back up camera quality is garbage, I don’t mind having only 2 seats in the back it’s kinda a plus and a minus. I paid about 5k markup but feel these dealers over price them for what the car is actually worth. R mode is obviously more for track but even comfort mode is good for me most of time but it feels like the car is on coilovers . I never do canyon drives in R mode not compliant at all

Bought mine 3 months ago and never looked back. Champ White was my choice. Drivers car for sure.

Your steering wheel issue is mostly caused by poor dealer prep, some jackass probably cut the plastic cover off of it. Window rattle is a tint issue. Mi e did that after tint install. BTW . You wash your car like that you don’t deserve it.

“it rides like crap” bro you’re on springs … obviously it’s gonna ride stiff get some coilovers 💀💀

Title feels misleading. Could've said "my take" on the type R

rear bumper spat/canard?! lol

its crazy i've read so many posts saying this car is better/more fun than M series BMWs and I'm always shocked, I thought m series bmws were the cream of the crop. I've never driven them but its still crazy to hear that.

Rear wing gurney flap

Honda owners cant afford Garages.

FL5 is fiya. Some times it’s the driver

Wing risers

rear bumper skirts

Is not a 55k car😂 u decided to pay that much for a damn civic🙄

Rear spats

#1 I can't afford it

Lol, complaing about tech missing in a "race" model car with garage door opener. This generation is funny. Back in the 70-80s "race" model or "stripper" cars had less tech, all about light weight, like no AC, no power windows, even no power steering. I loved the Enzo having manual windows and people complaining about it. My favorite things about my 2000 Civic Si was the manual antenna and no dam ABS. Save the manual, windows and antennas

Rear spat

6th is FWD

The biggest issue is the fact that its Front wheel drive. if it was AWD it would be so much better.

If you think this is stiff then you don't know stiff cars. LOL But honestly the back up camera is embarrassing.

Wastegate rattle

Looks like an Accord is the main reason I don’t like it . Honda is wack for not making a high horsepower sports car. I would buy an m240i any day over that Civic R . Same price but you get a b58 with almost 400hp to the wheels . The m240i is a much nicer /faster /better looking car . The seats are the only nice thing in the Type R in my opinion

I have driven a type R but volkswagen MK 8.5 by far better car

Reason 1 buy a wrx instead

That car struggles to keep up with a gr86 in the canyons. That’s wack . Honda type R is sooooo underpowered and overpriced
