Reply to this comment with your best pirate Type ARRR pun. Oh, and read the full review here: https://edmu.in/2Tlg1De
I've missed seeing Carlos in car reviews. This was cool to find!
Does the Type R have rev hang? Thinking of trading in my Si for one someday. Si has tons of rev hang though which ruins the driving experience for me. Would love a Type R but won't bother if it has the rev hang.
Why no 5 seats
Poor man's Corvette 😂😂😂
I bet this car is super fun to drive, but it’s wayyyy too out there in looks, I’m much older now and no way I could roll around every day in it. I own a 2020 GTI and it just simply blends in more with subtle hints of performance.
I would have daily driven this, but the 20” wheels posed too much of a risk for damage on pot-hole ridden American highways.
At 180inches this is NOT a hot hatch! It’s massive compared to the Cooper or even the Golf!
Is tht a sports car?
The tires are the only thing that bother me about this car , I don’t think u can drive this car in the Midwest ! Is there any other 20 inch tires u can run besides the summer tires on this car ?
American muscle cars are real sounds the faster. Like the Hemi Challenger or SS Comero or GM V Cadillac .. Anyone agrees in 2021
I love how the Honda Civic Type R is still a great family car!
You have no idea how bad I want a Type R or a new Toyota 86 order with the options I want
hi all anyone tell me if the 2020 honda type r has the rev match off in sport mode ?i know its on +R mode and have to disable it ,is it the same in sport cheers, as im almost there buying one just annoying turning rev match off every time getting into the car
$54k plus tax and license…… a bit spendy but I love it. Sat in one at the dealership when I bought my 2021 Civic Sport Touring.
I'm coming from a 2015 mk7 Golf R which I just got rid of a few months ago. I'm really in love with the Type R in Gray. I don't care what anyone says I think it's stunning with those flare fenders from a rear diagonal view. So mean looking… And I know it'll be a hell of a lot more fun than my DSG golf R with its numb steering and so so handling. And front wheel bias AWD which was useless except on launch. What I really like about the golf R was the individual option where I could keep the steering and transmission etc in race or Sport, yet put the DCC suspension in comfort or normal. I saw that the Type R can be adjusted from normal to sport to track but you can't adjust them individually correct? So I guess when you put the car in track or Sport, then the suspension also stiffens up without the option to leave the suspension in a softer setting. I live in South Florida and the roads are as smooth as anywhere in the world without a pothole existing so does anyone care to weigh in on how harsh the ride is for daily useespecially since I don't have to worry about rough roads? I had my golf R lowered with h&R Springs and rear sway bars, with a tune and full bolt-ons so I'm assuming I won't mind the ride but just curious if anyone has any opinion going from one to the other. Really looking for a driver's car and I'm not a big fan of the focus RS interior and that it's a Ford.
Those Continental tyres are garbage, had them on my Renault Clio RS swapped them for Michelin Pilot Sport a much better choice.
I'd like a type R , but I'm not willing to get rid of my camaro ss1LE for a step down in performance .
Problem is there should not be any auto rev matching… either you know how to drive manual or you don't
I've seen these on the street and they're so awesome looking that I wanted to see some reviews on them. I watched this review right up until he talked about the "active sound enhancement". That's so cheesy it just killed this car for me.
Hello viewers,
I am deciding between the 2020 Golf GTI and the civic type r and am struggling to choose one. You guys can reply stating which one you would chose and why. I am also curious to see which one is faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile so if you know, feel free to let me know
Love it but it’s fugly! I’d buy it right now but can’t get past the look. I hope the next gen is an improvement. Or if they would sell the sport line type r. If not the sport line at least the option of the sport line’s black bucket seats. Give us older guys some options!

Should I get Honda Civic type R or Ford Focus RS
One of the best reviews I've seen yet on YouTube. Thank you!
"leave a comment so you can get it out of your system." NICE ^^
Also, a person who drove a GSR "back in the day" checks all the right boxes in my book 😉
SUB'D !
Not to be that person but the white balance is terrible. Everything seems so white. Like there's a transparent effect over the video.
DC2 Integra Type R (01-0252) forever and ever.
Great video. Miss your reviews on MT. The rev match system does change with drive mode. So in +R it does match revs considerably more quickly, and in comfort it is kind it lazy. I assume you were using +R on the track anyway, however. As for the brakes, they can be fitted to the 2017-2019 FK8 and the FK2 as well for that matter. But you have to replace both the pads and the rotors, as the rotors are thicker and the pads are thinner. Which is fine, since the rear brakes wear out 2-3 times more quickly than the front because of the active handling using inside rear brake to help in corners.
Does this type r require premium gas or is regular okay?
If only you could get them without the dealer tacking on 5k, 10k, even seen some with 25k over MSRP.
My honda type R has 330 hp STOCK on 98 fuel (Euro) (282 km/h top speed). It can lost traction in FW at 5th gear – it don`t need`s more powa. This car dont needs breaking improvements . This car dont needs suspension improvements.This car dont needs louder exhaust ( …What about long distance traveling? plus ;u want to drive fast and draging attention to yrself? u like tickets? ) THIS CAR NEEDS : 1) new infotainment system ( current one is a useless trash) , 2) new sound system with subwoofer – current one sounds like 1990 accord taxi. 3) Configurable startup ! when u start engine – car will always sets Sport mode (hardned suspension) and auto-stop engine – u need to reconfigure it every time when u want to drive it.insane!
You had alot more fun when you reviewed the porsche boxster
Dealer markup is insane on these cars brought a volestor N instead
