Honda Civic Type R Review: Is It Worth the Price? (FL5)

It’s time to test drive and review the 2023 Honda Civic Type R! We'll also compare it to the Toyota GR Corolla at the end of the video, so stick around!
The Honda Civic Type R is the king of hot hatches. It comes with only a manual transmission - no automatic - and it’s the one we think of when we want to experience some good, old front-wheel-drive ripping.
The Civic Type R has been around since 1997, but for years, it didn’t come to America. We got the car in 2017 during the “FK8” generation, which came during the 10th gen of the Civic. That old model looked almost like it had a body kit on it - it was so aggressive and adolescent that you could confuse it with a battle bot.
We’re now on the “FL5” generation of the Type R, and its styling is a lot more mature. At first, I thought the FK8’s immaturity looked the best. Now, I love them both.
The 2023 Type R makes 315 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque from a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It has a lot of cool features, including its three-tip exhaust. Honda said when the three-tip exhaust debuted on the last gen that it was to optimize sound: a resonator for city and high-acceleration driving, and mufflers for highway driving.
The Type R is great on the racetrack, great on the road, and comes in equally great paint colors. But the current Type R (2024) starts at about $45,000, and a lot of people - whether they’re buying the car or not - wonder: Is the price worth it?
Let’s find out.
Thanks for watching my KZbin channel. Enjoy the drive!

I'll always be a Honda lover, but I actually prefer the looks of the Corolla. I find it very cute, while the Civic looks like a huge sedan. For a GR or R, I guess I would take the Civic, since #1 its more sleepery #2 I love Hondas and #3 better engine imo. For a base model I would prefer the Corolla cause it's much more cute. 🐱

10:53 Excellent point. Two great cars with two different vibes after years of not having an option (if a CTR is all one wanted) is pretty damn sweet. The markups ruin it but that just means people have to be more diligent to find the good priced ones. Get them while you can! When I bought my Focus RS I thought it was going to be around a while and it was here for just 3 years 😅

Be curious to know what you think about the Integra Type S. I like the looks better and no markups (at least here in VA). Been thinking about replacing my M2 Competition with the Civic or Integra for better kiddo access to the back seat, but not sure if either FWD car will live up to my expectations after having the M2. It will be a tough act to follow.

When I first saw the black rear seats, I found that to be really annoying cost-cutting. Although it probably is cost-cutting, I do think it actually looks good and lets the red accents and sporty, quality front seats stand out when you're looking at the car from the outside. Also, it might be too much red if those were also red. Red interiors tend to look better when there is a good balance of black/red/other colors or materials to contrast with.

You had me at “book paper” … Thanks for a solid in-depth, informative and fun review of the benchmark Hot Hatch! I’m a Hyundai N fan myself but even I realize that THIS is the car they are compared too … and GR Corolla is compared to this as well. And I agree with the gaudy looks of the previous as I like the gaudy JDM mech-looking car more than the mature version of this generation. Quick question, what’s the price point where you start getting performance in a vehicle that isn’t plastic-y on the inside? I have no issues with the plastic-fantastic of the entire hot hatch market of vehicles even at my still car-immature age of 55 🤣 Thanks for a great way to spend 30 minutes this morning.

Like the Civics of old, the Elantra N grows on you. My 2023 6MT EN has 57000km of daily driving in the city (rideshare). For outright performance, after seeing what the EN can do, I would not give the nod to the Type-R. It's limits is always a surprising.

If you can find one for MSRP it's not a bad value, but that doesn't mean it's a good value. I don't know why idiots pay more than $50k before taxes and fees for a Civic.

@AlanisKing Ай бұрын
It’s not a terrible value! But you’re right - value depends on the person, and $50,000+ is not for everyone

The answer to the video title is NO. Just like the Integra Type S, the Fl5 Type R offers less performance than the Fk8, for a pretty significant price increase. If you want value, buy an Fk8 or a Hyundai or something.

Man, I just do not like Honda's exterior designs anymore on their cars..... they've lost their way since the early 2000's. Back then, their design just look 'right' every which angle you look at them, everything had a nice flow to it and doesn't look out of place, and they are thee ONLY car manufacturer that can do it and hit it outta the park, from NSX to CR-V...... ALL of their vehicles. Nowadays, it's just a complete mess of mish mash designs that makes absolutely no sense ; weird curve lines, random 'slash' mark designs with no rhyme or reason to it other than to look futuristic and updated..... it's like they just ran outta ideas. If you put a Ford Taurus badge on this car and show it to the masses, they would call it ugly but since it's a Type R, everyone is acting like it's the hottest thing in town (mainly the youngsterz). I mean, look at that profile..... it looks like a damn bottlenose dolphin. Ranting and venting here because I'm a diehard Honda guy (and not in the Fast n' Furious kinda way too, mind you). And do you even know who 'SENNA' is, girl? Don't test me!!
