Giving The Most HATED Honda Civic To The Person That Deserves It The Most

[@IDv8I]

I love seeing hard working kids get the recognition they deserve. You are a special person Tavarish. Thanks for sharing and keep changing lives, it's heart warming to watch.

[@IDv8I]

@@YOLO891 Confused, Tavarish didn't get the car, he gave it to the hardworking kid who deserved it, obviously. Step away from the bong.

[@CuzzyWuzzy]

Awesome to see the civic going to the perfect home. Matt was genuinly speachless, very heart warming to watch 😊

[@bobabreath5097]

Matt seems like the perfect new owner. Genuinely appreciated it. Great gesture for someone who is definitely going to enjoy it. Nice job all.

[@Vision000]

So nice to see the genuine reaction of Mat at the end there. Good things do come your way. A Civic Type R is a good thing any day of the week.

[@DustyPearl-13]

What a cool, compassionate, genuine, warmhearted, thoughful & generous dude Freddy is...!

[@SteveRussellP]

Freddie I used to work in the Engine plant at HUM Honda “Swindon” normally the only colours were Red, white, black and silver. The colour on that car is what we called Pepsi max or Coke colour. All the best Steve

[@ethangee96]

Also a very low number of Deep Sapphire Blue ones were made too

[@AngelLopez-uf7og]

It’s called YR571p New Deep Bronze Pearl (not to be confused with YR580m Ionized bronze/umber metallic)

Viking Detailing need a regular appearance on Tavarish and Matts channel they have a natural comedic vibe for the camera

[@BringerOfDearth]

@iStewy Some more air[yball]time? 😂

[@ghomerhust]

i love when big channels do this for their support people. spreading the wealth and making people happy. it's a seriously cool car, and it's a hatch so it's USABLE. you can DO stuff with it. and at the end of the day, it'll go like stink. i love the look on his face!

[@ronhill7326]

Matt’s reaction was the sweetest I’ve ever seen it’s so real and just genuine❤❤❤❤

[@Asdasty]

The only people I've ever heard say that the FN2 type R is hated, are car reviewers/journalists and people on Instagram who pretty much hates anything that isn't crazy expensive. In reality, its very loved, even outside the Honda community.

[@DonkeyKong496]

Sorry but its ugly

[@Necron00b]

I would dispute that personally. When that body shape was revealed, it almost turned an entire generation of Honda lovers against it. At least in the UK. I still know people today who lament the choice to make it look the way it does. The detailer guys were right the previous gen was way more valued and loved which added to the vitriol.

[@Asdasty]

@@Necron00b I also thought it was not great looking when it first came out. But right now, in the current car scene, people seem to love it. Including me. I think it aged well. Although most hot hatch's from the late 2000s aged well. I think the sporty looks of the Type R really improves the look quite a lot.

[@BringerOfDearth]

@@Necron00b I appreciate that you qualified it with "at least in the UK." 👍 Fair play there indeed. In other markets, we always want what we can't have/didn't get. Or we live in a country that takes a stupid 25 years to be able to import such things.

[@BringerOfDearth]

@@Asdasty Much agreed. Almost like my utterly *_ridiculous_* "second car" build I have in mind.

[@jorgeantonini201]

#1 I’m not familiar with the guy, but he seems like a good solid dude, and based on their explanation seems like he really deserves it. Good for him. Best of luck to him and his future endeavors. #2 he is so stunned you guys might want to drive him home in it, in case he’s so dazed trying to process it he ends up in a wreck.

[@sthlmcol]

Viking Detāil need more airtime 😂😂😂

[@vooronsallen]

agree but at 14:50 the details around the civic logo can done better

[@EssexStoner]

​@vooronsallen paint can fade around/in between the lettering of the badges.

[@Krispiez69]

I thought your profile pic was their logo and you were them 🤣

[@BringerOfDearth]

@sthlmcol ...more *Airy Ball time. 😂

[@scofair1968]

Brings back so many happy memories! I had a 2008 DBP (Deep Bronze Pearl) Civic Type-R GT. Swapped it for the Mugen 200 in 2011 and then went down the Ford Focus RS Mk.2 route. Happy days / very happy motoring.

[@andrewhudson7481]

I'm with Tavarish, this shape Civic looks amazing! Really don't understand the all haters here in the UK

[@Horizon.carcare]

its because a certain mr clarkson didnt like it everyone followed

[@Jjm2024-u3t]

@@Horizon.carcarehe said the same about the e92 m3, calling it dreary, clearly his opinions are shite

[@barryrhoads4261]

I really like it.

[@franebacic9348]

Its the last good looking civic, everyone hates it because its got only 1hp more than ep3 which actually is disapointment and thats what clarkson didn't like. All in all it doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

[@StevenJenkins-l2i]

Shame they spent 50p on the metal… they rot so bad. Scrapped mine couple months ago.

[@paulheneke695]

Wow the reaction from Matt when he was told the car was his was absolutely priceless! Fantastic gesture from all involved.

[@egyptology22]

Freddy is a genuinely nice guy! Not many Americans realise that there are other countries. If Freddy became a billionaire because of a phone camera....I would be so happy. I've built 2 cars from scratch. I've owned 57 cars plus bikes. Freddy makes me happy!

[@silverchet]

Arrrh I just seen the full video, wow what a guy Tavarish you have made Matt so happy this is the kinda stuff that lets you know there are genuine nice people in the world still.

[@AdamaGibba-bv6eg]

We the youths need a good brother's like you guys thank you so much ❤❤

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

There should be a follow up short just to mention how much the insurance quotes will have been, because for an 18 yr old to get insured on a Tyre R it'll be Many Thousands per year, every year

[@1968spikey]

Because most 18 year olds would wrap it round a Tesco trolley park inside 10 minutes.

[@1968spikey]

@@waynepantry7023 I really do. 😆

[@kizzmiaz]

If he can get insurance at all it'll cost many times the value of the car. UK insurance is a scam, insurance companies are blatantly profiteering from mandatory cost of car ownership.

[@JordzyBrev]

I’m 26 and my insurance is £1000 a year for fn2 type r with mods declared

[@1968spikey]

Had a 2.2 cdex as a company car when they 1st came out. Absolutely CRACKING car , a bit weighty but the turn in and interior was top notch. Vastly underrated vehicles. I currently own a 477bhp Porsche Cayman and if i ever had to sell it, my go to replacement would be a Type-R.

[@marksmithson1414]

You always do some awesome things Freddy but this one was the top of the list. That young man really deserved this car, from how he was described as a selfless person. This was so amazing!!

[@MaDMaXGroW]

That warmed me old heart. Thanks for that. Showing Young people, hard work pays off. You're so cool bro. You have helped so many people. I don't think you understand the energy you put out and help others.

[@MichaelG1986]

I always liked that style of Civic. It's a shame it was never available here in the US.

[@minxlabrada]

Yeah, the door handles should have never ended. Not sure how Honda is marketed to old folks in the UK. But they don't get the Ridgeline. It's pretty quick. And it's a hoot on dirt roads.

[@gavinsmith9022]

What a great video and that kid's reaction was priceless, i have a 2007 FN2 Type R and it has been faultless, drives like brand new, that K20 under the bonnet is a masterpiece.

[@vettesrule3170]

Such a cool car and sad since we never got it in the states. If we did, I'd have that in a heartbeat. Congrats to Matt who seems like a really nice kid. Freddy, your the best.

[@ericmurray2971]

out of every car ive seen being given away by automotive youtubers in my opinion this is the most normal person friendly, and tis is this the best shape civic and yes im from the uk, but when this came out it was very futuristic and i think every car manufacturer that built cars after this went along with how this was styled. this was truely a trend setter. id love to own one myself

[@Swoledadof3]

This is the best kind of video. Congratulations Matt!! Nice to see hard work, dedication, and being a good human take people places like this.

Im learning loads from You and Matt about cars love how youve shown love to this Honda civic considering you've got a Ton off "bettercars" but this one is Special. Subs from me bro

Brillaint stuff, Hard work really does pay off. Good on him, great stuff Tavarish and all 👏👏👏

[@marshall100100]

I had a brief flirtation with one of these 12 months ago. Ran it for a year and loved every minute of it. Think you really need a later one with the LSD fitted to it. Never got bored of that vtec scream, stupendously roomy, very comfortable, handed it a beating on a daily basis and it still came back for more. Only downside was that it liked a drop of oil. So much better than the focus st mk3 I replaced it with, that's a car that definitely needs a decent lsd! Currently in an amg merc, but miss that little type r! Hugely underrated, go buy a good one before I find another!

[@lesflynn4455]

What a wholesome, cool thing to see. A hard working young fella being gifted a cool car.

[@gf9898]

I have the EX model of this shape as the family car, couldn’t stretch to a Type R. I remember when they came out they seemed like the future, so I was so chuffed a few years back when I could finally afford a second hand 2008 model. ( I couldn’t - it was my student loan). It was a tiny bit gutting to see how derided they are in the car community, as I still enjoy it both to sit and to look back at when I walk away. I’ve not driven many cars, as it took me well into adulthood to afford to learn to drive, but I love my civic. I did briefly have a beautiful blue Type S GT that had been modded and looked stunning, but sadly was riddled with gremlins and underneath looked like it had been in a flood and I just couldn’t risk driving my kids around in it, so it went back and the EX has served me well ever since. Shame it feels like they fitted bricks instead of springs in the suspension is the only real bug bear.

[@johnmills3619]

Such a great thing to go, love it when good people get rewarded and such a genuine reaction.😊

[@simplysimon9868]

[@Frossyt]

Idk why but I think I’d much rather have the civic type R then the integra R. Maybe it’s cause we didn’t get it in the states. I love the front end of that honda. Congrats to the new owner. He had a genuine reaction. Well done Freddy you are a great man.
