2019 FK8 Honda Civic Type R Review! New Motoring

[@doublerfanatic5641]

Just got myself a white one. Really love it, despite how people say about its looks well I think people have their preferences and it boils down to individual taste.

[@newmotoring]

Yes! How are you finding it? Absolutely, it's down to personal taste. It drives SO well though.

[@doublerfanatic5641]

I have only done 300km so far ans yet to unleash its full potential. The car is light and agile but very grippy and steering is sharp. In Malaysia, it cost £58k a pop and yet it is based model without SatNav, with Honda Sensing, without reverse camera nor reverse sensor.

[@MrPlaidFace]

Should have bought a Subaru bro.

[@scottrolen27mvp]

that blue is zomgzzzzz

[@malcolmar]

I absolutely LOVE this car! Well done Honda and great review.

[@ianbradley7215]

You'll like it in the UK. I use comfort for speed bump roads (and the time I had a broken arm), but even +R is surprisingly supple on most roads. Race is perfect for 99% of my day to day driving.

[@Rawdil]

Damn, it's gonna take me two years to save up and buy one! I loved my Accord Type R I had for 9 years.

[@newmotoring]

Let's both start saving!

[@zorpio6469]

great review, one thing missing was the engine exhaust note!

[@apolloandratti7922]

zorpio see engineering explained review for an engine note towards the end of their video

[@zorpio6469]

s2kiJax cheers, nice one

[@newmotoring]

That's fair. We'll get it in the UK in a couple of months so I'll make sure there's plenty of exhaust in that video! SW

[@sikcivic80]

Great review! Thankyou

[@newmotoring]

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

[@JesusIsLord7773]

Amazing machine!!!!

[@stefbcrich]

I heard that this Type R does't have lane change indicator nor parking sensors in the production model . Is this true?

[@michaeldeadwyler4034]

why the fuck would that even matter??? its like saying I hope the ford mustang gt350 has lane change sensors.

[@newmotoring]

I doubt it, but best to check with Honda.

[@vangtk10]

1:14 "Everything is there for a reason." Yup I agree. Fake vents are there just for show.

[@newmotoring]

To be fair I get what you mean (those grilles on the front, right?), but stuff like the wing etc. and a few other things that look quite ostentatious do have a purpose.

[@Antoniodaboss98]

correct me if I'm wrong but everyone says this car is the fastest Honda being sold now but he says 0-60 in 5.7 seconds and I own s V6 Accord Coupe and I have seen people get that 0-60 in 5.5 seconds

[@NS416]

Anthony Duong the v6 accord has an Auto. and other tests have it hit 0-60 in 5.4, this one is 0-62

[@newmotoring]

Well the NSX is definitely faster. It's the quickest Civic Type R, that's for sure.

[@stilmotionpicture]

How is this a 2019 CTR when it was published at 2017 . Click bait!

[@ShawnWilson]

kinda unrelated but what was that intro song??

[@loper20]

It is written in the description (+ the link to soundcloud). I quite like it

[@newmotoring]

Shawn Wilson It's not unrelated. It's a good track. Sthlm Sunset by Ehrling! The link is in the description.

[@zinny999]

I don't understand why the haters have to find every single yuotube video about this car to make their stupid comments when no one really give a shit?

[@newmotoring]

Because internet. That's just how it works. [Sigh.]

[@danielr4027]

not to be rude dude but can you actually see over the wheel?

[@newmotoring]

haha Not rude at all - yes, just about... I always sit quite low in a car. It might look strange but that's just how I feel most comfortable! SW

[@danielr4027]

lol cool man I have an Fn2 and I sit quite high in it but I am not small. I just wanted to to gauge how deep those bucket seats were I did enjoy the review though thanks

[@newmotoring]

FN2 is good fun. Only driven once but that engine is hilarious. The seats are deep, though, and because the fuel tanks have been moved compared to the FK2 I think they're about 25mm lower in the car, too. SW

[@joosunkmybattleship]

How did you manage to look small in a civic

[@newmotoring]

Camera angle combined with the fact I'm not the tallest human in the world! Mostly camera angle I like to think... 😂 SW

[@CMC440]

wtf miniature guy. he sit to low his eyes almost are on level of sterring wheel

[@person2186]

Why zero reviews tell is this new type-r more fun than fk2 when driven really hard. Not 30mph and talking. Nobody says yes driven hard this car is more fun not only faster. I'm smelling this car is duller

[@newmotoring]

To properly answer that I think I'd need to drive them both on the same road on the same day. The new car has a broader range of abilities, though, and the engine is a monster, but on first impressions it didn't feel quite as raw. It's faster and more capable, but it feels like some of the sharp edges have been smoothed off. It'll be up to you to decide whether that's a good or a bad thing. SW

[@person2186]

Thank you very much. I agree it's down to preferences. Also the new car is even better in daily commute and in comfort department. More balanced car. This said not so raw as the fk2 is a good thing. It's down to preferences and what you are after. Im looking forward driving one and comparing with my fk2. Cheers NewMotoring

[@person2186]

Great review ftw!

[@newmotoring]

Absolutely. The fact it's not as raw as the FK2 will push people away but bring others in. Just depends what you like. Definitely more comfortable day to day, though. Ah, you've got an FK2? How are you finding it? Make sure you drive an FK8, and let me know what you think when you do! SW

[@JezJerzy22]

Wow great SUBARU!!!

[@daviddobson2687]

STI (SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTION)

[@LVang152]

I rather get WRX for my money with all-wheel-drive.

[@zues4339]

and chew through more tyres and petrol lol

[@newmotoring]

What about a Golf GTI or something like that? Any other hatch take your fancy?

[@MrPlaidFace]

Subaru would be a better choice in my opinion too.

[@blueskyrangers]

Great car...not that you could tell from the driver. Zero emotion, is the guy on tranquilizers?

[@newmotoring]

There was just so much VTEC my brain stopped processing emotion.

[@notoymotor4501]

Bend Over, .So if the car cannot due powerslides it's not fun right. Your watching the wrong video.

[@animedreamnetwork245]

sorry but the camera angle makes you look like a kid and it seems like you can't see passed the steering wheel. :)

[@newmotoring]

Don't worry, I could see the road! I just always have my seat quite low. SW

[@justsomedude1488]

Why is this 12yr old taking about cars.... scrolling on....

[@newmotoring]

Because I'm 24 and it's my job 😆 Hopefully I'll still look young when I'm 80. SW

[@harvardford8752]

The blue makes it look gorgeous wtf. lol I thought it was ugly

[@newmotoring]

I really like the grey, but everyone says I'm an idiot for saying so! 😂 SW

[@utubecomment21]

_"Every single piece of aero dynamic work you see on the outside of the car is there for a reason ... there's nothing there that's just for show"_ Really? kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4W4g6eHq7ipfqs - The 2017 Honda Civic Type R Isn't the King of Hot Hatches

[@lifenz1]

at least let us feel how it sound !

[@newmotoring]

Will do next time! SW

[@jsinister_vq8303]

Now they have kids doing car reviews wth..

[@newmotoring]

It's been five years since someone said I looked like a kid. Reminds me I'll still look young when I'm 80.

[@absolutelynot3065]

It's a nice car if you're a 16 year old boy. If you're a grown man, not so much.

[@michaeldeadwyler4034]

I seen zo6 and even mustangs with worse body kits on them lol. stop the hate because you cant afford one.

[@notoymotor4501]

Bend Over. Well if it's made for kids I guess I'm a 66 yr kid and hope I never grow up.

[@notoymotor4501]

Notice how I left out the word old?

[@earlgrey1492]

Bend Over Other than the fake grills everything on this car is designed to serve a purpose.

[@earlgrey1492]

Bend Over It has this JDM, Gundam Wing look to it which makes it really stand out. But yeah I understand why most people think its ugly.
