[@crazysteve9390]

Another key facet of this car is the amazing affordability of ownership.. when I was young and stupid I dug myself into some debt in the 1980s.. In need of a car in 1990 I bought a little red base Civic hatchback (and when I say base I mean base.. vinyl interior, no a/c, 4 speed manual, no power steering, not even a radio in the thing or a side view mirror on the passenger side, etc) and it just ran and ran and ran for a decade until I needed something bigger because we started a family.. but my point is literally nothing ever went wrong with it, and I was able to dig myself out of all debt because the car didn’t bleed me to death with repairs like its predecessors. And now that son who was born for whom I gave up my Civic 20 years ago has grown up and bought his first car, a little red Honda Civic (but his is a sporty coupe EX model with all the creature comforts). Thanks for a great video about a model that will always be special to me.

Bravo man! Another great episode. I fell in love with the Civic with my first gen CRX way back in the day. I drove that thing into the ground but it was a really sad day when I had to let that car go. I did not have a lot of money and with a new family it did not make sense to try to keep that car around after it kept breaking down. Fast forward more than a decade later I am back in the Honda family with my new 2019 Honda Civic Type R! It did not happen over night but it did happen and I could not be more happy. This truly is the BEST Civic EVER MADE! Keep up the great work!

You missed when the Big 3 couldn’t keep up with the new emission laws in the 70’s. They told the government it was impossible, and General Motors said that CVCC may work for “toy motorcycles,” but has no place on a real car. Soichiro got so pissed that air lifted a big 350 V8 Impala from Detroit to Tokyo and he had his R&D team make custom CVCC heads for it. Then he shipped it back to the US where it passed the new 1973 emissions standards. Soichiro had to fight and struggle to become a major Japanese automaker. He wasn’t about to take shit from the States.

[@whoathatsalotofdamage3718]

Master Xehanort so what you're saying is the American muscle culture so permeated the industry that instead of trying to make a cleaner engine, they just deemed it impossible and said "slap a cat on it"

To add to the story the engine passes without catylitic converters.

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

Honda made an Impala meet 73 emissions without a scrubber? o.O

[@hiramesensei3112]

@ernisill It's not that American companies are lazy(er) or greedy(er), at least not more than other countries companies. It's just that they have the lawmaker's ears here and can lobby/bribe to get laws passed that are good for them. Japanese couldn't (in America). But Japan has plenty of it's own tomfoolery with laws and regulations about cars. Every company everywhere is going to try to play this game. Don't blame them. Blame the politicians. If they didnt pass such shitty laws we wouldnt have to worry about this stuff.

It's done over 100,000km, still feels tight, and I honestly wouldn't change it for anything. While looking for my first ever new car, I tried many others, Lancer, Focus, i30, Mazda 3, a Kia, even Suzuki, plus a bunch more that I can't remember, and the Civic was the only one that made me really like it. the Mazda 3 was a very close second.

That is a fun fact!

Yeah, the word civic is a palindrome

[@THUNGUNS]

Fun fact: your grammar needs work

[@junali94]

Also the word racecar. I learned that on the disney channel when they were promoting the cars movie.

[@dlozza2000]

THUNGUNSPRO *X* You forgot a period.

[@alexriel_]

I never doubted this channel, and James also deserve all the love. Not only I learned so much about cars by the efforts of this channel, but James made it so fun to watch a literal history lesson. Yes, this is a history class and everyone is enjoying it thanks to James 💯👏

[@larryfisherman4826]

Damn James I wasn’t expecting a feels trip

[@wadeguidry6675]

1st Civic I ever noticed had about 20 police cars chasing it over the bridge from Pensacola to Gulf Breeze. It was the getaway car in a bank robbery.What a great thing to see on my 1st vacation in Florida. I'm 50 now and that happened when I was 18. Every time I look at a Civic I picture that scene.

[@kaiser98berlin]

Wade Guidry You could say the Robbers were needs to be more civic minded 😂

[@MrCarguy2]

Dammit that 70s civic would have given a fight to be chased by 20 police cars damn

[@wadeguidry6675]

Andres Valdes B: Another great thing on that vacation: I was making a sand castle that looked like a Corvette and these three beautiful women wearing black bikinis came along and helped me. I was in 18 year old boy heaven. Gotta love Florida!

I love this guy. This is my new favorite car show. Adios Top Gear!

[@kylemontano228]

AlPha 36 the top gear guys are back on amazon prime video. It’s called the grand tour. I suggest you watch it because it’s great

[@soulassassin0g]

@@kylemontano228 it's awesome, but still can't get over the fact that they're so old now, we only have a good decade or so before they either die or they retire which I don't think they'll ever do. I miss old top gear, when they were younger.

[@kylemontano228]

soulassassin0g it is sad to think about, their Health is probably declining :(

I've been taking mine to the track keeping up with the V8s out there, VERY impressed

[@kevinj9315]

Mom bought a new one in 1992. Unfortunately my uncle totaled it.... Atleast now there’s a s2000 in the family :D

[@MrGembelo]

Try fd2r,the only civic type r sedan and you'll be love it

[@KyBr2000]

I bought a Civic 2015 euro and loved it (1.8L), but not 6 months later when I had it serviced, the dealer had got their hands on a milano red FK2 and I instantly fell in love with it. Traded my 1.8L in without batting an eye. Still drive the Type R today, and still love it! Looking for ways to make it faster now ;)

[@williamvillanueva3480]

I didn't cry, but man this freak dust storm came through my office right when James started tearing up. My eyes watered and it was inconvenient because I couldn't see through it. Stupid dust storms. Localized entirely to my office.

Those office dust storms, man. They'll get ya.

[@nestoroniFL]

Damn dude. I love Donut, and I especially love Up to Speed, but to see that emotion at the end really shows that you guys put your hearts into what you do. Congratulations on 50 episodes.
