I do own a C5 Corvette still, I love but its had its issues. Don't get me wrong if I could afford a new C8 I might pull the trigger on that, but again the exception. This is GMs icon car, let's hope they put their heart and soul into its engineering and QUALITY. All that great performance means nothing if it's not a reliable car. As for the rest of GMs line up, cars trucks, SUVs I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. As Scotty mentioned they basically gave the middle the middle finger to its customers on this class action lawsuit about defective wheels, and weaseled their way out of any responsibility.

[@JoshuaDavis-yi9ts]

I would consider a civic si coupe if you want a manual or a Acura TL if you want SH-AWD or PAWS for better handling. The prelude checks a lot of unique boxes that aren't really catered to in modern vehicles. A manual, 2 Door, inline 4 with all wheel steering sounds like a lot of fun.

[@thinkforyourself5672]

I've owned 3 Civic Si's and just got a Type R in August. It's not even comparable between them. This is a totally different beast. My only complaint is, While the wheels are made well and look good. They're just too big. 18's or 19's would have been fine. The issue with the 20 inch wheels is there is no wiggle room for thicker tires which this car needs. The Continentals that came with mine are like rubber bands. Don't fully understand the idea they had

[@eksentrysyti]

Better grip on the skidpad and for cornering, worse for the dragstrip and comfort. It's a compromise they made. And since the FWD drive isn't going to win drag races anyway, they made it into a lap time monster instead.

As a Aerospace and Automotive mechanic i agree. 💯💯💯. Only thing GM didn't screw up is the Duramax 2500HD 6.6 turbo diesel. Honda is the most build car on the planet. I tried to buy one of the 600 cash. The EF and EG are also the most built platform. The S2000, NSX, and the Del Sol were low in numbers. I'm building a 500hp Del sol with all carbon fiber and lexan except front and $3k suspension on a k-series 6 speed lsd. Can't wait. 😎. I know people personally who's gotten way under 10's on a 30 yr old car. Japanese know what their doing. Quality over money.

Congrats Scotty, I’ve got a 21 Type R (non LE) and love it. It sees the track once a month mostly at Sebring. It’s one of those few cars that you instantly like and then it grows on you even more over time. I take a set of 18” dry tires/wheels, jack & stands, folding table/chairs and all my gear in the back, feels like a mini race team getting to the track. Not a lot of cars out there that can haul a spare set of wheels and are decent on a track.

It was between the Type R or Lexus rc350 for my daily driver, I choose the rc350 (definitely don’t regret it), but I test drove the type R and it was 🤌🤌 can’t complain

[@lukespack]

I would guess the Lexus rides much better?

Yeah, the F sport suspension is great and just the overall look of the car sold me.

Hey Scotty. I got a 2020 hyundai veloster n. It's the answer to this car. 275hp 300lbs. I did a cold air intake A JB4 tuner Race plugs Oil cache can. I'm now 375hp 400lbs Was making 14psi of boost Now making 21psi of boost. 6 speed manual. And the suspension tuning. Get one check it out.

[@Hayawasa]

Good video! I havent got to that point in my life where i can drop 50 grand on one , but i really like the civic, and my 92 hatch is fun enough for now. You are right about them though, the older civics are noisy and rough but with enough modification they can be fast and handle well.

[@stephenpeacock8592]

2 x S2000, Exige S and FK2R. I've owned all of these, they cannot match my old EG Civic ESi (only the SOHC VTEC) on a particular fast road, the Civic just inspires so much confidence and has outstanding visibility. The Exige is too track focused for bumpy roads, the FK2R too heavy and the S2000 too loose at the rear. Keep hold of that Civic!

[@Hayawasa]

@@stephenpeacock8592 it does seem to do well on twisty backroads, i just enjoy the whole look and feel of the car . Years ago when i bought it, i didnt want too, i didnt want to be " them damn ricer boys" . But i understand now why people love these things.

That's why Honda is still holding true to their name. They are not the cheapest cars but they have a quality record to go with that extra price you're paying you're paying for reliable

[@andrewspence3171]

I have a Honda Civic, it was a demonstrator back in 2009 and had a diesel engine and I thought it was a good buy. Well, I am disgusted, because in the 13 years we have had it, I had to buy a wing mirror. It should have been strong enough to resist the Supermarket wall that my lovely wife was driving past. These supermarkets are doing the most horrid things, using reinforced bricks. The Civic does good mileage, is quite fast enough for safe driving, comfortable, plenty of space, and I hope it will continue to be a great car. We have a Mazda MX5 for sunny days, old but good, and a Toyota Hi-Ace Reimo campervan. I think we must like Japanese cars. Scotty, you have the best KZbin channel. Keep it up.

[@paulstabin6233]

For $20K less I snagged an '18 Aegean Blue. Best overall car I have owned, or even driven. Can only imagine how the LE drives with less unsprung weight, forged wheels, upgraded suspension and a few other tweaks Honda did. I'm good though. Keeping my FK8 for the long run. No other car combines a great daily and a manual track weapon quite so well. A few other hot hatches maybe. But none of these are the total package all considered.

There’s a red one of these Type R’s sitting at the 7-Eleven around the corner from me. Been there for couple months now and I’ve never seen it move

[@k20z3keith7]

I laugh at people who choose a STI over a Type R. I'm biased but the STI doesn't stack up. AWD from a dig is all they have anymore. Type R beats them in every single category. Even with a tad less power. Plus being a K series you can throw 500+ on stock internals without any issues. Try that with a STI lol

[@lancedooley7558]

Yep 💯. Import builder here. Absolutely agree. K-Series are indestructible.

[@k20z3keith7]

@@lancedooley7558 No one can match a K series. I'm at 160k FBO and tuned for 100k miles and not a single issue. While hitting 8.5k all day everyday. No Subie can handle that for that long. Plus a WRX needs to be Stage 2 to beat my little NA 2.0 lol pretty sad

i have a Hyundai Veloster N, if you like the type r but want to save some money, i love my fwd 265 lb ft tq veloster n. it comes with all the tech, nice racing seats, and it comes with a suspension and an exhaust you can adjust. i keep my exhaust silent in my neighborhood then when i get on main roads i have a bunch of pops and bangs. sounds great. also comes in auto and manual unlike the civic which is only manual. i love it and have had no major issues. P.S. All the N and N Line cars were designed by BMWs former longtime chief engineer Albert Biermann.

[@markjaycox8811]

crazy times we are in as my 2019 base CIVIC I lease for $189 a month has a buyout next year @$12,000, and the dealer cash offer for this car now is $22,500 which is more than the sticker price 3 years ago. I never thought in my life anything close to this would happen.

For this level price, you can easily get a Ford Mustang Premium Ecoboost or a mid level Mustang GT, both of which are more powerful than the Civic R. I bought a Mustang Premium Ecoboost for $40K, brand new this year. A way more fun car to drive than this Honda Civic.

[@123lenny135]

To be clear, that 2021 Type-R is 1\600 (yellow only) that were sent to the USA and is known as the Limited Edition. There are other Type-R's that are not yellow and not the actual Limited Edition. Though, Type-R's are limited compared to regular Civics. The yellow "LE" has a few tweaks from the standard Type-R, some sound insulation removed, lighter/forged wheels (as you mentioned), and some tweaks to the electronic adjustable suspension vs. the standard R. The production in England stopped around August. The 2022 will be made/assembled in the USA.

Would love a hybrid version with the rear wheels being electric so you can save gas but also tear up a track or backroad with torque vectoring of the electric motors could make some good money especially when there’s only one other similar AWD car in the US now that is the WRX(STI). There are gonna be some crazy cars over the coming years and I can’t wait to see what is created 🔥
