[@Camhill182]

@@TheFK8Life interesting. Is there proof of this? If this is true, I’m genuinely excited that they’re being made in Japan

[@TheFK8Life]

@Cameron Hill You can see the paint quality off the bat - the 2017 Rs have orange peel from the factory- especially the black and SGP colors. The engines are made in Ohio so both plants just plop them in the car on the line. Swindon was responsible for the hatchbacks and Type Rs so when you see the paint quality on them you'll immediately tell the difference between them and the FL5 finish.

[@ruben79nyc]

The way you're feeling the FL5 is how I would feel about your FK8 coming from a FA1. 😅 You both have great cars all around.

[@tomfuller9755]

I’m a fan of the FL5. If I was in the market though, I would wait for the Integra Type S. That thing is beautiful.

No clue how I got here but I love how much the owner of the car is proud of his car. Brings me back to my old civic si. Nice review. Thanks

[@BStudd1182]

I personally wouldn’t buy a type R over MSRP with 500 miles on it especially knowing those are some hard pressed miles on the car without properly being broken in yet but that’s just how I feel. I’ll be more interested in seeing the Integra Type S this summer. As a former STi owner, I just can’t do those big wings anymore so the Type S will be more my style.

[@allrc8737]

Yeah bro I don't know what people is paying over msrp for those car's I'm a car entusiast I have a 2021 wrx sti and a 2023 Hyundai elantra N and I don't buy the type R just for that all those dealers want a lot money over sticker that's crazy

[@Motolympics]

So happy you like the audio. I work for Bose and was apart of the team that developed the system.

[@Camhill182]

bro WHAT?? I would love to talk to you more about this!

[@porschegt2346]

Audio is finally “acceptable” to me, which is saying a lot for a civic. 😊

[@splice247]

I think there are three key differences to switch from Fk8. 1: more premium interior 2: more conservative stylying 3: improved cooling. I think if you track your car its definitely worth the upgrade. But the other two reasons are subjective

[@franko8572]

In other words improved interior, improved exterior, improved cooling. 🤣😂🤣😂

[@BigBear--]

Ok so the side vents are there to relieve the normally high air pressure that gets built up in the front wheel well area which creates lift on the front end of the vehicle. Particularly important in this application as there are front air dams in the bumper which channels air from the front to cool the front brakes (it channels it behind the front wheels/brakes). So the side vents help maintain a steady flow of air into the front wheel well for cooling then expel it back out through the side vents. Interestingly what some people call "fake vents" on the sides of the front bumper, which the front black splitter flows into, are actually aero-kick-outs. The kick-outs send air around the front wheels/wheel wells in a smooth laminal flow, so that air doesn't get sucked into the wheel wells and interrupt the brake cooling flow from the front air dams, or increase air pressure in the wheel wells. So all the aero is designed to work together in tandem to keep the car stable, keep it cool, and keep the nose down. Also the front hood scoop is an air extractor, air that flows in through the front grill and goes through the radiator is then expelled out of the heat extractor, lowering the overall temperature in the engine bay by expelling hot air, and also not allowing high pressure build up which increases lift on the front end. So it helps cool the engine, and lowers pressure in the engine bay which decreases lift of the front end.

[@GetaLifeMan1234]

This car is really enticing. I have the funds and I'm starting a new job that will force me to drive to different job sites from time to time. But those markups really kill the mood and remind me that it's still just a fast civic.

[@Camhill182]

I was going to say look into getting an FK8, but the prices of those have gone up too

[@FK_H8r]

If I wasn’t like 30k worth of mods in I’d already have one. Wife said I’m keeping the FK8…and I’m okay with that.

[@Illuminatisevil]

Well, typical FK8 owner, obey his wife’s rules😂

[@erichumbert5562]

With the running car/door lock situation, it may be like my wife’s pilot lift gate, if it’s running you have to have the doors unlocked to get the life gate to open, tell the guy to unlock his doors and see if the hatch will open while it’s running

[@hotdognobun]

I like the FK8 Type R because it actually looks like a Type R. The new one looks like the original at first glance.

[@lorenzo.arellano]

lets go, so glad you got to review one of these

[@ElViperr408]

The FL5 is honestly better than the FK8. FL5 has so much a mature look, less fake stuff on this R and it’s just so cool in person

[@ericjohn1908]

The fit and finish of a premium Japan build vs a FK8 built in England is the difference. Japan just builds everything with crazy precision. 🔥

[@Newyen6MT]

The boost blue is beautiful and one of my favorite colors next to Sonic Grey Pearl

I wish the civic could do that wing delete and a smaller lip spoiler on the boot for the guys who don't want or need that wing

[@poker_18rs92]

12:22 to 12:50 I 100% agree with you…. It’s a great car, but 50k+ for a little over 300hp is a tough sell for many of us….

[@cryptonator1988]

Just get a camaro ss and with full bolt ons on e85 tune you getting 580-650whp and faster then a zl1 camaro for the same price as a type r. Also i really do like the corrola gr but yeah 50k for a corrola is way overpriced but im sure its super reliable and fun too drive.. i live in the south so i can sure use an awd car cause it rains a lot i need some traction...

[@cryptonator1988]

I was thinking the new kia ev gt6 or whatever its called but idk if i can buy an electric car yet especially since it cant even go 200 miles on a single charge.. if i drive too Atlanta ga and back thats 120 miles from my house so am i gunna lose charge before i make it back.. it is a bad ass car though not gunna lie but just not practical the range is garbage on the battery and not enough charging stations for that vehicle to be a daily driver..

[@StrongerThanEver84]

I bought an FL5 a little over a month ago. Paid a 7k markup but got it in the exact color i wanted. I was very torn between the boost blue, sonic grey pearl and red prior to purchasing. ultimately decided on red as its the rarest color of the 5. boost blue and white are by FAR the most produced color on the FL5's and i didnt want that. This car is absolutely worth every penny. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Never selling this thing.

Crystal Black Pearl #00711 here! It’s a lot of fun and it’s definitely a mix of FD2 and EK9 in terms of looks. The FK8 was an evolution of the the FK2 and FN2. I can guarantee that it is a very rigid ride on rougher roads. These roads you guys are on are beautiful for the FL5 in comparison. Enjoy it! This is as close to a 90s JDM feel with modern tech we’ll get!

I was an ‘18 Si owner and I loved that car. I wanted to get the FL5 so badly but the prices were crazy (and I wanted to stay a Honda boy). Ended up going to the dark side and getting an ‘18 Golf R. Honda will always be my first love, but my God I love my Golf R. 😅

If you're interested in grabbing one, I've called around to basically every dealer in northern Florida and Crown Honda in Tampa has been the most reasonable at 7k over (6k for protection package, 1k doc fee). I'm still holding out for 5k or less over MSRP, but Crown has been by far the closest

[@GSTRification]

I believe a lot of the upgrades you’re experiencing are not from fk8 r to fl5 r but from one generation standard civic to another. This platform has been a major push to up the premium feel from the last gen. Of course adding type r upgrades not to mention every single exterior panels excluding front doors and roof adds up to price increase from the fk8. I am waiting on mine at msrp. Took me 60+ emails and calls to every dealerships around me but it is doable. Most likely I would get one after fl5 refresh

[@alexsuckz859]

at msrp??? where are you getting it from?

[@goldentrucker7921]

​@alexsuckz859 he never got 1. Just a msrp troll. I'm going to check 1 out for $2k over msrp today

[@omitence]

augh i'm in the market for a new car.. i really like the FL5 but its hard to justify the price. in regards to the ride comfort, the FL5 does that thing where it'll "detect" spirited driving and raise the dampening, even if you're in comfort mode. so i think people are just locking the dampers into the soft setting

[@Camhill182]

Hmm okay I do remember hearing about this. I couldn’t tell you if that happened during my test drive or not, though. Pretty advanced stuff there

[@stevewallace1387]

I had the FK2 and one thing it had which was better than the two later versions was the quad exhaust system it looked much better than the triple exhaust on the newer models

I already upgrade to this from a 2021 fk8 this car is better on gas and is smooth at 80 miles an hour my fk8 had a prl intake and the turbo noise thing but the fl5 is a better car is assemble in Japan thats a huge difference if you know Honda you know im right

[@BriManFL5CTR820]

Glad your thoughts changed Cam! I’m looking to buy a FK8 in the future to be my daily. My 2000 Integra GSR needs to be replaced lol.

[@GamerPastHisPrime]

I have always been a muscle car guy, I have only owned Camaros (I leased a Cobalt SS while I waited for the 5th gen Camaros to come out), but I have always liked the Civic Si/SiR etc. When they showed this car off before (the base model), I was pretty disappointed with the styling... But I CAN'T stress this enough. This car looks FAR better in person than in any of the media when they revealed it. You did a great job showing this car at great angles, and I think this car looks outstanding. As soon as I saw these cars on the road (even the base models) I was just like... oh, ok this thing actually looks really great. I'm really impressed with this Type R, and I hope they do something with the Integra to get it on par with this, because... I'm a bit disappointed in that... however, I have yet to see one on the street, so that may change. And to be fair, my first car was a 95 Camaro Z28, and I always felt like that car didn't look great in photos, but when you were next to it, it was gorgeous. I think it's the headlights. They look like they kind of don't match the car somehow, but it looks great in real life. It's hard to explain, so hopefully you understand what I mean, lol. Great video, really enjoyed it.

[@BigBear--]

The brake calipers and rotors are the same as the refreshed FK8, however I believe they went with a different setup for the brake master cylinder. So they'll feel a bit different in application. They bite a bit sooner and quicker.

[@DynamiteDB]

The FL5 brakes bite super quick. You could stop on a dime.

[@BigBear--]

@@DynamiteDB Yeah...I remember when I first got in at the dealer to drive mine home, my foot wasn't used to the setup yet, and there were definitely more than a couple of brake check style starts and fits on the way home. 😅 Now that I've gotten used to it, I love how quick, responsive, and strong the brakes are.

[@diallo1347]

Personally, I like the FL 5 way more than the previous gen. Im 37 and like my cars to look mature on the outside.

[@brett4345]

I hated the FL5 at first,now I love mine. Took seeing it in person when it arrrived for me to fall for it. Had it since Nov 4th,2022 one of the first.

[@jfishel]

As a content creator I think you pretty much have to buy one Cam (go where the clicks are), but for everyone else if you already own an FK8 it's a tough call. Between ADM, low volume and high APR's you really got to WANT this car to purchase one right now. I love both cars, but I can wait for a couple years to upgrade and see what the refresh brings.

[@Camhill182]

I’d rather wait until we move back to California before I make a huge purchase like a sports car

[@ashleyalvarado7128]

I live in Puerto Rico and this is my dream car but here they sell it in 55k to 65k the only way that you can find a 40k type R car is if it's already used and the owner is sailing them, beside that is hard to buy a car like this when the minimum wage here is $8.50 the hr (in August it will go up to $9.50) but I'm determined to one they buy my dream car. 💖

[@EN_autoblog]

If I were to pick between your fk8 and the fl5, I rather go with your fk8. It's more aggressive. The fl5 is too simple of a look. Of course that's just me. Yours look way better. That's why I got myself an 2023 Hyundai Elantra N 6 spd manual.

@@Camhill182 only if you were in cali lol the pops are insane yo. I love my EN. There's ups and downs about Hyundai on their vehicle warranty. What I've heard so far from EN owners is that they don't own up to what they say they'll cover for 10 years or 10k if the engine was to take a dump. Check engine on some EN models especially DCT. Owners was selling it because of that. I was iffy on getting it because of that but idk I liked it too much that I just hope I don't get any issues on mines. To this day, no issues yet. I baby it tbh lol although it's a performance car. 🤞 Other than that, yes, its a great car.

I miss my 9th gen Too. But I drove My friends fk8 the other day with acuity shifter and it was extremely tight and nice feeling. Not that I dislike the shifter in the fl5 but that acuity sure was a nice upgrade. But I actually liked the way the clutch pedal felt and the way it shifts in the fk8 over my fl5. Not sure why that is, I figured that aspect would be very similar. My pedal feels lighter and and long travel and it’s hard to time the shifts into second but in the fk8 it was effortless.

[@BigBear--]

Also the sidewall of the tires on the FL5 is larger than on the stock FK8. I don't think the guy understands how tire sizing works. The 30 in 265/30 is the ratio of sidewall to tire width and not the actual measurement. Basically the size of the sidewall is a percentage of the overall tire width. So a 245/30 tire would have a sidewall of 73.5 mm (245 x 0.30), while a 265/30 would have a sidewall of 79.5 mm (265 x 0.30).

Get yourself some Carpro Fabric 2.0. It'll add a protective coating to your seats, armrests, carpets etc. It's super hydrophobic, and resists stains and spills, while still letting the fabric breath. It'll also make it easier to clean. It's basically like a Ceramic coating except for Fabric.

I love the rev matching too. I don’t know how to heel-toe, so the rev matching is a blast

[@jmac1121]

Great review Keep the FK8 and Get the FL5. Garage goals. That’s what I’m doing soon as the mark up isn’t crazy. Til then I’m happy with my FK8!!

[@SIIKAP1]

This car does have a longer final drive, which would explain the lower RPMs than you’re used to. It’s also why the car is a tenth slower in the quarter.

Great video bro the fl5 looks amazing in person

[@Jfresh55]

I still think they didn't do enough with the car.

[@justwingingit1]

Just wait Cameron. Keep your FK8 and give it a couple of years for prices to come down. Remember…even if you decide to get one plus 10-15k in mods…think of the other turn key factory hot rods(new or used) in that price range(GTR,Vette,etc.)…that are a whole lot quicker. Just my two cents.

I would buy a 2004 Z06 Corvette TOMORROW if I knew it wouldn’t tank my viewership

[@justwingingit1]

@@Camhill182 So…when you’re ready. Buy the ZO6 or whatever else that makes you happy and don’t post it on You Tube!😂 It’s your life Brother. Do the things that make you happy! The rest will take care of itself…

[@justwingingit1]

@@Camhill182 Just FYI for you Cameron…I found a You Tube channel(Josh Van Veld’s Racing Mind)that addresses upgrading a 2007 ZO6’s brakes to an AP Racing setup plus a situation that occurred. Pretty interesting and informative for anyone upgrading their brakes and the pitfalls that are out there. Good information no matter what car you drive!😁👍

Just sat in an FL5 at the dealership tonight Cameron. I now understand your reaction to the seats. They really are that much more grippy/huggy compared to the FK8 seats. I wasn’t expecting that. Dealer was off their rocker as usual…wanted 20k over sticker at first,then tried to assure me how much they trying to make a deal for me by ONLY asking 12,000 over MSRP PLUS…an extra 3,500 for low jack and ceramic coating. Two items that cost me approximately 1,800 a year before. They said prices just shot up for those!😂 Frigging Snakes!😁 Nice car. Just not 60k nice…

15k markup for a sonic grey I saw yesterday at the local dealership. After sitting next to it for over an hour while waiting for my 9th Gen Accord getting an oil change it started up look plain. I like my FK8 better

[@Nathanmarz66]

I’ve to drive the FK8 mainly because I don’t know anyone personally that owns one I’ve only driven my SI but same that the new FL5 grew on me hope to one day test drive one

[@crazypandarag3]

boost blue looks ohhhkay but I would get it in champion white or red..🔥🔥👌

[@sunnyd26]

Both great cars. The FL5 interior is better, but it isn't enough for me to want to change from the FK8.

[@davemorris6747]

The price is the issue with these cars. As an FK8 owner I will agree with you that the FL5 is better but not worth the mark up. Insurance in the UK will not cover any mark up. If the car is totalled and that just means Dash air bags deployed, here in the UK you will only get the market value and that will be MSRP minus the age condition and mileage on the car. There's a saying in the UK that you lose £1000 the moment you drive off the forecourt. With current UK mark up that relates to £11000 to £15000. Not a risk I'm willing to take.

[@Vintaronica]

You can take out a back to invoice policy. That will cover the shortfall
