I know the feeling bro 💯💪

Same!!

lol same. I've seen a few in the last couple days. I think it's a sign

Did you ever get one?

Idk man had a 2016 STi myself and it was like a badge of honor to possess. I had guys taking pictures of it and were like “You’re so lucky”. Unfortunately it was lemon. Bought it brand new,kept it stock and Couldn’t keep it out the shop. Sold it after year and half.

Honda just delivers on that driver feel even when their cars aren't fast. My 2006 Civic Si is slow as hell but it still has that fun factor.

I don’t think you’ll regret it, good luck!

I'm 57 and have a downpayment on one. Should see it in April 2021. If you love driving, what are you waiting for? You only live once.

@@mcleodkirk1 We just bought a 2019 sport turbo used guess what it has a muffler delete already 18k with 17k miles half the price of type R and quick now we will put on a cold air intake for 200 bucks and we have a cheap little rice burner.

My elderly neighbor was really excited to see this in the driveway. Everyone loves it!

The majority type r owners are 35 and above. It’s a hot hatch for adults who did have the luxury to get on in their 20s. Not many teens could afford a $40k hot hatch.

I got my 2019 Type R for 40k out the door, came with a couple extras too. They drive like a car that is more expensive.. definetely worth the money. FWD car that handles like a Porsche. Pretty fast too from the factory. So far I only change the steering wheel to a Mugen and got a cat back exhaust. The last thing I may do is a short shifter, then thats it... it really shifts great from the factory almost feels like a gated shifter. I just kind of want it to be even shorter.

from my understanding, honda corp doesn't profit from the dealer mark-ups. Only the dealer does, because dealers buy the cars from the OEM at a relatively fixed price. If anything corp suffers, because it's a fact that many choose not to buy these due to the markup. But it's comforting to know they haven't suffered enough for honda corp to call the type R quits

@@gravityhammer25only people saying it handles like a Porsche haven’t driven a Porsche.

Yo, call Patty Peck Honda in Jacksonville, MS. Kristi Weaver..... she will hook you up at MSRP all day I bought my PMM fk8 delivered to my front door in Texas. Smooth transaction. California no different

Hi Gene thanks.

Go on true car and whatever price they have on there for the car, have the dealership match it. Thats what I did.

@@genetung8590 - Patty Peck Honda doesn't have the Type R in stock.

jimmydaves oh darn! That's where I got mine earlier in the year..... I found the dealership at the time using Autotrader.com. Called them up and that was it. Perhaps you can try autotrader and get lucky then! I hope it works out for you because the R puts a smile on face every time I lay eyes on it.

$38K is definitely not affordable for most but this also not any “civic”

Have fun getting one for 38k lmfao

@@ci6516 Someone should at least be able to buy a Type R for no more than 40k out the door with tax.

You can go pick up a used Focus ST and tune for under $15,000. You’d be getting the same power and same or better practicality

love the car but I'm not down with dealers ripping me off. I'll never buy a hyped up car for more than its msrp! 👋

Looks exotic definitely. So no issues yet?

I'll get type r over any sport car

Install some sound dampening panels and your good to go

Yes you can. Since it needs artificial sound pumped in.

The Type R is actually rather quiet compared to my old STI at least. Even with an exhaust on my car its not bad at all. The sound deadening is very good from the factory. I have a 2019 so no fake sound on my car.

3 years ago but did you ever do it ?

Sure it is. Wait 5 years to get it at $24k/put $4k down, $400/month for 4 years and have an asset of $18k. I did it with my S2000. Bought it for $18k. Will sell for $15-$16k now or put it towards a Type R... Still deciding

pwally2714 with all due respect my guy your S2K is worth so much because Honda doesn’t make it anymore, and it is becoming extremely collectible now. Honda will always make the Type R in some form or another and they’re not going to retain value in quite the same way as the S2000. If you held onto that car longer eventually you will sell it for more than you bought it for.

@@shenkichin6295 all respect taken, friend. Hope all is well. Agreed, and to piggy back off what you say, yes, the type r will not be made anymore soon and also they are making a limited yellow type r which hints it will be lower production than the s2000

Totally agree 👍 anything over about$25k is more than most people should spend. Cars are way too expensive for the quality and reliability we get for our money. Some people can and will justify hamburgers 🍔 for $6 or more but I can't and it has nothing to do with what I can afford. Just because I can afford something doesn't justify the cost, in my opinion.

T Morris I mean dude you can always by a civic from the 90s for a few grand if that’s what you want to do instead. The brand new type R isn’t really made to be affordable

I paid 60k too over here in Puerto Rico, this car is a modern day classic worth having.

lol, you read my mind.

I mean it has a little spoiler, I kinda dig it

Yeah it loses like.. All seriousness to me and just goes down to a sport. That wing is beautiful.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

I’m pumped to drive it! You know....for you guys! 🙃❤️

@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial Suuuure, you drive the Lamborghini's and McLaren's just for us...uh huh. I'd believe that... :)

Are you local?

Yeah grew up in the area. How about you?

Hopefully you bought the Civic Hatchback Sport Touring that is made in the UK. It looks incredible also.

And change the exhaust as well, or a muffler delete 😒

@@jayespi37 This has already been attempted. No exhaust change or muffler delete make it sound significantly better. It's just how the engine is.

@@xFlared check out armytrix, its honestly sick

I felt the same way about the looks too. There was a spy shot of one in Europe without the big wing and it had a more subdued smaller wing and that’s when I realized it just doesn’t look right without the big wing. The rest of the aero stuff I really like. Obviously it’s just my opinion but for me I didn’t want a performance car that looked just like every other car out there. Besides most of the aero is functional. The looks make it stand out and I have such an easy time finding my car in a parking lot. Also some people don’t want to be seen in this car but come on, that’s a self image thing imo and they want a BMW or Mercedes to make them look good, imo. I got over the boy racer looks and the car is rewarding. I have it for a daily driver and I love it. I have 18” for winter with snow tires (Boston area) and when I swapped the 20” inch rims back on it’s like night and day. I drove my 80 year old mom around and the car was so smooth on the highway she had no ideas at one point we were cruising at 100mph, it’s so comfortable at that speed. Plenty of room and a big hatch area for loading stuff. Don’t know where you are but in Massachusetts when I got mine in Nov. 2019 there was no mark up. Got it at sticker. Some people are getting them below sticker. But yeah, I agree with you. You need to love it all around. Might not be for you.

Admiral Ackbar Thermal R&D sounds really good.

get yourself an old toyota or honda manual for about 2k and learn on it.

Hahaha same here!! Can’t wait until my current lease is up but I also have to learn how to drive a stick 😂

Derek Scheeler when the type r dropped in the US in 2017 I automatically loved it so I decided to switch to manual and leased a Honda Civic, I also had to learn how over a weekend cause I had to drive to work so if I was able to do it so can you brotha.

I would have preferred the ability to purchase the subdued "Sport Line" version of the Type R that is available in Europe, but they all look the same from the driver's seat which is all I care about. It has been 40 years since I bought my first brand new Honda hatchback so I don't quite fit the target demographic for the 2020 Civic Type R. That doesn't bother me as I enjoy this newest purchase. I am about to turn 400 miles on the odometer so the excitement is just beginning!

Dude its such a better car than the Sub.

SNAP!! I bought a Black 17 plate for my 40th. Best present ever! Where abouts in the UK are you? I'm Bath way.

@@edboyle5637 congratulations! Awesome cars. I'm in Berkshire

Type R is probably the best modern car to learn stick on. The clutch is not heavy but gives lots of feedback. The car auto rev matches your downshifts and the shifter is very easy. The car also has an anti stall feature, it is almost impossible to stall the car.

Mtbragley 39k

same here

Jsut get a infinity q60 black edition

I believe that they were under a tight deadline to release the car. Being a Civic they also have a strict budget to maintain the target price.

You can learn, it’s very easy, believe me. And after you know how to drive a manual, everything without a manual would seem boring lol

You can simply learn it at just about any driving school for under $100
