I love the design (except for the tacked on rear wing) and thought if I could find one near MSRP maybe I’d try to make something happen, but I highly doubt any will be near MSRP. And this review confirmed Honda missed the mark by not making the car sound better. I hate that artificial engine sound. I’m gonna stick with my Elantra N despite the hate the car gets from those who can’t accept Hyundai made a great performance car. If it’s 9/10th a CTR with a way better sounding exhaust and softer comfort mode then I’ll be staying right where I am.

All cars come down to price. This car just isn't worth the $10-15K mark up. Its a good effort although I believe Honda swung the pendulum back too hard toward conservative on all models of Civic. I actually prefer the boy racer look of the outgoing model. For the kind of cabbage it takes to own this car, I would rather have a Supra 6cyl with manual...or baby BMW or a poor man's Porsche Boxster 718 if you work an extra job at McDonalds to make up the difference. Then you aren't driving a Civic. Nice review guys as always.

I’m not crazy about the look of this Typr R Civic. I personally prefer the last model Type R Honda made.

It's so interesting how fast the VW GTI/R fell out of the running in the last 2 or 3 years. That's how easy an OEM can screw up a car with a bad interior. At MSRP this is a good buy, anything significantly over is just an impulse buy for someone that has a business plan with one of these (i.e., rent it, youtube it, re-sell it).

The last Gen Type R is quicker from a Roll.

Put cup 2s on a fk8 on 19 inch rims and let's see those track time comparisons then...

@X XL how can TH produce a bad review. Didn’t know that was possible.

@X XL The fk8 they used is a Honda press car and never modified.

Turning off the fake sound is as simple as unplugging a module in the glove box in my 2020 Civic SI

CTR or SS 1LE, which is more fun every day?

SS 1LE looks better on paper and worth the money.

People will lay thr dealer markup. And then a year from now when it depreciates like a stone, they'll be pissed that the dealer did that. Good way to lose a customer forever.
