Baby before you buy just make sure to drive the Honda CTR and be aggressive with the clutch to make sure it doesn’t grind. Run the AC and check the back side of the valve cover for oil leaks. If they don’t let you drive it then walk away. The CTR is a blast to drive as long you understand that it is a front wheel drive

@@user-on1jw6xv9f true. Like here in Slovenia, T-R is 45.500€ at dealership or a official supplier~ I think for 2020 model. Overpriced. You dont get nothing in interior worth such price tag. If we look at Peugeot 508, what this car offers inside is insane. But i kinda found all cars that are below 30-40-50K have screen touch that lags af (delays) and lack features. Tho 508 Peugeot has you covered here, but then again there are no mods for it and it is only like 190HP.. Tho what i like is that car comes with updates or upgrades every year and improvements. _Honda does that to driving experience, but doesnt do that in interior section, which the basis is the same since 2017 model. And we dont have any choices to pick different things inside. I just like more features from a car and better design inside with lag free screen bcuz if you dont and cant di that today you are literal piece of shit. Tech is so cheap for that today it's mind blowing and i dunno where they are getting those garbage screens from pff... putting older models of screen in newer ones pisses me off AF

Yeah get something like a brand new golf r like I did in 2016 with DCC nav and upgraded stereo with sub for 38k brand spanking new. Sure it's not as hardcore or track focused.... However it's just as fast, interior is stunning, driving modes are awesome and mag ride (dcc) is individually adjustable, while being so practical and comfortable and well made... Pure German.... And if you want to get a little more hardcore the mk7 platform was the best of the best for mods... Grab $1,500 get yourself a downpipe and a stage two APR tune and tour walking mustang GTs, SS, STIs, focus RS, even f80 m3s. With my DSG I was doin 3.5 to 60 with a couple bolt-ons and a tune. And yes the type R and the golf are are completely different cars and the type R is way more fun. That's the truth. Even while my golf R had supercar acceleration, it was not close to as engaging as a stock Civic Type R. But most of us aren't going to the track everyday... So the Golf R makes way more sense with DSG for DD as well as spirited driving. The type R is spirited all the time and for 35k for a brand new one ... I'll go and get one. But not 3 years old with 40,000 MI. No way

Same sentiment, they were 28-32 k used with low miles for a while. Then COVID happened and now they are MSRP with 30k miles. They can keep that beaten civic.

Great review Joe! I’ve found used Type-R values to be quite strong and if you look around you can get a new facelifted 2020 model that’s improved for MSRP so personally I would go new and put a leathering steering wheel cover on the steering wheel to protect the Alcantara. However, the 2017-2019s are still great cars and as great as black looks I would have to go Championship White or Boost Blue

[@aaromon43]

the new CTR has a suede steering wheel which is inexcusable. there's no way that will hold up over time with dirt & oil from your (or your mechanics) hands. there's a reason cars have used plastic or leather steering wheels all these years. here's a fun test. go buy a mr clean magic eraser and go over your steering wheel and then tell me how on earth you're going to effectively clean a suede wheel the same way. i go over all the touch points after i pick my car up from service and the shifter, wheel, seat belt, door handles are always gross because their hands are filthy.

[@BarikSingh]

Jonathan Lindhome Yeah that’s the only drawback of the new one but you can just get a black leather cover and it will prolong the life of the wheel. Alcantara is great for track driving but Honda should have kept a leather wheel for the facelifted version.

[@stilmotionpicture]

Those new Alcantara steering wheels looks great, but man.. maintenance will be bad! Will get dirty quick!

[@NvSrAgE679]

@@aaromon43 how is it inexcusable? I’d like to add that cars have used suede and Alcantara steering wheels all these years too, just in higher end sports cars and race cars. I’d think to build a track car these days and NOT give it an Alcantara steering wheel would be inexcusable. How dare Honda give their customers a taste of the good life at an affordable price? Inexcusable! Also a suede shoe cleaning kit works just fine.

Great review as always Joe and great background knowledge! I LOVE my 2019 Type R. With the rumor that 2021 may be the last year of the Civic Type R be it new or used, the best Type R to get is the one you can actually find.

My question would be why was it even traded in in the first place? Everyone knows that the inherent problems between the 2017 and 2019s are issues involving gear lock up. Supposedly the issue was taken care of already with the 2020 models but that's still remains to be seen since we're only 3/4 of the year through. If there isn't one report of a gear grind the entire year on a 2020, then I'll believe the issues have been truly addressed. That would probably be the time for someone on the fence to get the all-clear sign and dive into a 2020 pre-owned model instead. 2021s are coming out next month I believe. 2020s was a short production year because I'd Covid.

That car has 07/2018 built date with 30K miles. Regardless how you splice it, it's nearing end of warranty. Not to mention those 30K miles were hard and probably abusive.

I have a 2017 CW with 26000 Kms if I could get $33,000 I would be happy smaller market here in Nova Scotia Canada. I will be ordering a 2021 Mustang Mach 1 on Oct 24 from the same location my dad purchased his 1972 Dodge Demon back in 1973 where my love of cars all began at the age of 4.

I was lucky enough to buy a 2019 black Type R in California from Huntington Beach Honda for MSRP but having said that and 40k miles later I was texted by them following a service asking if I’d be interested in trading in and upgrading to a 2020? The white Type R that they were trying to steer me to had a 15k markup. No thanks. Like any vehicle there are reasonable deals to be had even if you have to pick it up in another state. I’m sure there are plane tickets cheaper than 5-15 thousand over MSRP. I’ll never pay that much over sticker. Let those vehicles collect dust. Be persistent and don’t trust website prices...all of them show MSRP. Actually visiting dealerships revealed 13k,7k markup and eventually MSRP at HB Honda...which I jumped on.

Love seeing the videos joe!

[@SinisterPlauges]

as much trouble as im having trying to get a new Type R at MSRP i might be getting a 2019.

[@RaitisRides]

I know how you feel!

[@SinisterPlauges]

@@RaitisRides imma keep searching for that 2021 at msrp until im desperate.

[@fk8chick893]

I found a 2021 with 40k miles on it for 40k. Is this a bad deal. It’s the color I want too 🥺

JJ ~ the R stands for "radical" it's true, I talked to Mr. Honda & that's what he told me : P butt really these are nice for guys who are into tuner cars, ya can Frankenstein them, tweak them, etc. I've seen a few on the streets totally ripping it up. don't know if I'd end up with one, but I appreciate them as a decent car. - tony

[@vasekvi]

I got my 2017 with only 19k on it for 32k Honda CPO with 100k warranty. I have a few vids on my youtube channel. Great car, no issues so far. Just hit 60k!

[@TrevForPresident]

The look still isn’t good to me but I agree that black cloaks that well. These things don’t depreciate is the only knock on buying this wonderful machine used.

[@subvet3668]

Depreciation is so low that it makes almost no sense to buy this used. Average I saw on autotrader is roughly 33-35k for cars with 50k miles. At that point it’s worth it just to get new.

[@YvpKeene]

Going to look at it later if it’s still there 😉

[@RaitisRides]

Very cool!

[@southbayla3137]

I say it’s a bad idea since there is a corolla hybrid out now . I rather get the corolla hybrid

[@ericd1632]

That's pretty neat

[@SilverScarletSpider]

I want to buy Raiti's used Honda Civic Type R!! XD

[@Bella-j1j7]

Can't believe it took me a week to see this. Excellent review as usual.

[@anthonyr3624]

I have a 2018 and I'm 19321. I'm pretty sure it's not a fluke.

[@pigybak]

at 6:35, what is the black car in the background on the left?

[@Young_Bobby34]

McLaren 12c I believe

[@lsjionredlinesupercharged2049]

I'd rather order and have a integra type R (rsx) body style 10k less and it's a pure fun machine with that sound and amazing body style. Shipped to America there only 12k-25k depending on mileage.

[@dr.killjoy5001]

Used ones are still 45k dollars in Australia...

[@KarelTheKaiser]

Glad to find aproval on my pursache of a 7000km 2nd hand FK8. And it's the best car i'll ever have.

[@jessekimbley2394]

I'd personally would never buy one of these used, These are priced right to where someone with a decent job in their early/mid 20s can afford one. Hell, I'm sure more than a few spoiled high school kids probably drive these. But my point is most are probably being bought by young boy racers who are driving the absolute piss out of them. Unless one of these was a one owner driven by some boomer around the block every other weekend I'd never buy one used. Given the resale value you might as well just buy a new one and eliminate the possibility of abuse.
