[@Pilek01]

3:45 the vent is not fake. the hood scoop has canals under the hood that move the air to this vent to produce some down force.

[@neverknowsbest4994]

its almost certainly not for downforce. MAYBE it povides a boundary layer of air along the side to reduce aerodynamic drag. but thats all really.

[@f181234]

neverknows best it’s for cooling

[@RedRyz3n]

@@neverknowsbest4994 nope, its for downforce.

[@NormalRadGamer]

actually if u would open the hood you would see that there is no connection to the enginebay. its not for cooling the motor, however there are canals to the tires, to help with cooling the front brakes. sry for bad engrish

[@paulygspeaks7308]

Actually for cooling the brakes.

[@eileenperez6021]

This is by far the absolute best review video of the Honda Civic, it’s so in-deep. Great job and thanks this was very helpful 👍🏻

[@kongxiong6005]

This car is fully equipped at 35k...all the other cars with those feature are like 45k+.

[@user-pv4qq6ud9j]

Can’t find one for 35k here in Dallas 🙃 they’re all 38k+ for a higher mileage one 42k+ for a low mileage one. Smh

[@dynodin81]

In black looks great! Love the contrast with the red. You're absolutely right that in black it makes it look less wonky/ricerish.

[@anthonyr3624]

the Polished metallic one is my favorite, gives you a sense of maturity and still looks clean and aggressive.

[@TheKingkingg]

Guys loud exhaust doesn't mean speed and Honda was never about being loud or fastest 0-60 it's about experience of all around performance, so stop expecting that to change! The rest of love them because they are the best overall.

[@cooleye8887]

TheKingkingg I totally agree.

[@relentless5321]

TheKingkingg , Aren't Honda's known for their reliability as well?

[@VinnigsSpinTheBlock]

relentless5321 any car will be reliable thats has low safe horsepower.

[@mrblend]

@@VinnigsSpinTheBlock not true. what low safe horsepower to you? 180hp was low before, now we saying 300hp is low? Its all about learning to create a better engine and harnessing the hp safely regardless of power. And Honda is great at that. They don't make things complex either. Complexity is the death of reliability.

[@sideout7227]

You got it right brother!

[@WeirdBrick]

I had to take a double look to see if that was the civic type r! Holy crap it looks so much better in black, hides those funny angles and aero kit! Super review :)

[@nicktronson2977]

it does look a lot better in black

[@nismotuner6582]

The side vents are functional. The air enters the hood scoop and channels itself to the side vents. The air that is exited is mainly hot because that air was used to cool down the engine and for down force/aerodynamics.

[@stevethomas760]

One of the best reviews I’ve seen on this car. Personally would prefer less rear wing. Good work

[@recheveste31]

My dude, the vents behind the wheels is the air coming from the Engine bay Ex. The hood scoop purpose is provide more airflow to carry out engine heat and makes its way towards the fender vents .

[@CRAZYCATED]

Sorry to tell you it’s not the first there is also the Acura RDX which also had a factory Honda turbo charged engine which came out in 2009 with a kseries turbo motor

[@khalidfathallah6619]

he said first direct injection turbo. the rdx has port injection

[@3333glen]

Another reviewer said the hood scoop cools some of the electrics.

[@angelgutierrez5147]

I will get this car soon as I reach my credit score can’t wait love the review and the look of the car

[@pittwm]

Just pick up mine, love it so far. It reminds me of driving a rotary powered RX7 of the 80s...

[@Sunfoni]

Great review homie... I have a 2016 Civic Touring White and they are shipping this exact one in your video to my dealer in Atlanta

[@emmadeeba2038]

Absolutely amazing car and a definite future classic. Modern day rs

[@DavePopeMusic]

3:35 The air enters the bonnet scoop, gets channeled across the bonnet to the side vents. I've inspected one and that is done for downforce as a low pressure builds up there from curling back off the windscreen and it causes stability by sending air into, through and under the car.

[@Holdenm-xf1hu]

the front vents by the tires are fed from the hood scoop. theres a metal piece under the hood scoop that channels air down the sides into the vents. you can see if you open the hood and look in the back corners of the engine bay on the sides. you can see the channels that are fed from the metal piece under the hood.

[@TheKingkingg]

Great review, but anyone wanting this car louder can do mods, but if you understand noise restrictions for global market then you'll understand. Also this car is based on a civic and enhanced by great engineering to optimize a regular to make it a track day car as well as a daily driver... Too many people finding fault but no engineering degrees

[@TheKingkingg]

Forrest's Auto Reviews yes they sound great, maybe faster for few months, can also do neat tricks... But they aren't as reliable, comfortable as a daily driver, as most important for racing... Making a driver feel confident, and that is what the Type R is.

[@ddrenth]

Exhaust mods are not as easy as it sounds. Quality exhaust options are limited and expensive for the Type R due to the car's limited production and rare exhaust system. It's going to take some time for other options to be released and for prices to settle down along with the hype of the car I think. I wish it had some crackle and pop from factory like they advertised in Honda's teaser video for the Type R...that had me sold on the car instantly.

[@TheKingkingg]

Dave Drenth Ssoooo, why mess with a great thing?! Except for racing 🏁 on track, the car is plenty fast and not about waking the dead.

[@ddrenth]

I guess you'd mess with it because the sound of the Type R is not a great thing. Yes, the car overall is absolutely fantastic in my opinion...but for many sport/race car enthusiasts the exhaust sound is an important part of the package and with the Type R it is missing the mark. Not a deal breaker for me as I committed to a Type R anyways but as I said, the crackle and pop found on the factory RS and even the Hyundai i30N is pretty cool and would have been a great addition to the R experience in my opinion.

[@TheKingkingg]

Dave Drenth Ssoooo go buy the others, I love my 2016 EX-T and 2018 Type R

[@Alex-gv3gq]

I love this car! Just bought me one today from the showroom.

[@f22raptor4]

The vents behind the front wheels lead to the engine bay. Thay are for cooling. There's also ducting leading from the air intake on the bonnet to these vents.

[@PreciousMetalinvest]

Forrest's Auto Reviews - the vents on the front bumper near the fog lights allow air to pass through to cool the brakes then flow out through the same vents. Someone used a hairdryer blowing through the bumper vents and it blew some tissue paper placed in the side vents

[@academiaengineering5136]

Omfg 😧That civic type r looks amazing with the black color, I wanna get a type r so badly, it’s my dream car

[@danielgrist5830]

I love this car in black, looks so mean,drives amazingly aswell, so much fun!

[@tylernash4372]

If you popped the hood you'd be able to see the hood scoop vents to the engine AND is routed to send air to the front brakes hence the wider fenders

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Awesome man...definitely makes me want to drive one! Good review!

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Robert Brolo - thanks Robert! That’s pretty cool, the SI’s are fun. I’m gonna keep working on em!

[@kentkent2788]

Prime Autotainment Awesome bro! WAY too thorough. Nobody cares about how to turn the lights on or the mirrors in the visors. Clean it up.

[@poolplexer]

The cooling ducts for the front brakes are in-between the faux carbon front splitter and the front bumper

[@carnellc]

Just a quick correction if it hasn't been said already: Vortex Generators (4:12) don't "swirl" the air. It's the complete opposite, they "Straighten" out the air so that it's clean and not turbulent. Most notably used in Aviation on wigs and other surfaces that might encounter turbulent air

[@n.w.f7265]

I had a 2001 accord coupe ex vetec and although it didn’t have the best 0-60 it handled way better than most other cars and I could easily do 80-90 around sharp country roads and overall it was the most fun car I’ve driven and provided the best experience. I loved it more than the Mercedes, mustangs and Nissans I’ve drove and owned.

[@poolplexer]

The front vents on the sides of the front bumper are aero only. They lead to the vents to the front of the side doors that you said you didn't know what those ones where for. Then the air travels down the sides of the car and hits that strange aero design by the back wheels

[@jayespi37]

The air vent on the side on the civic is located under the hood on each side closer to the firewall....allows the engine let out that heat😎

[@bliss1368]

Amazing Review! Keep up the great work!

[@metroidprime3863]

The side vents are for hot air to come out from the engine helping it cold down.

[@chitterlingsrtasty]

I love this car in the white. i am seriously salivating over it.

[@aliceshusband4436]

The side vents is actually functional from the front hood scoop. Hot air out.. well in paper

[@snazari1994]

Vents on side are outlets from the hood scoop. Open the hood and check it out

[@scoobystichris790]

I own a 2018 STI, but I would buy the type R and have massive respect for it 👊

[@josephbonilla5910]

Black color is the best to me nice thanks for sharing brosky

[@victorangeles3962]

The big vent along the side of the car allows the air to come from the inside of the hood to the ourside of the car. Check inside the hood on the sides. You'll see the vents

[@Reddude24]

Only criticism is the exhaust sound, but I think you can upgrade it through various shops.

[@jwickerszh]

Wow the black and red accent look really nice!

[@poolplexer]

If you follow those front vents they go through the side panels and not into the engine bay. then they come out those vents on the sides u thought were fake

[@adrianesteves3260]

The wheels are not 19” it’s 20” and the vent by the front doors are functional. Pop the hood and look at the hood scoop, cold air comes in and the hot air comes out thru the vents of the front doors.

[@Joe_Friday]

That back road looks just like the one I saw in a ZL1 review video.

[@BlueSTI]

Looks so good in black. If it was all wheel drive it wouldn't have any competition

[@iznon]

I totally agree with the exceeding of expectations.

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Absolutely in love with that interior! Great video!

[@joeeverett364]

I love my 2019 Type R. I got a white one because I think white shows all the vents and scoops. I want people to see all of that and look at the wing and ground effects. Maybe I'm still only 15 years old at heart, not the 65 I really am.

[@vtecmatt4204]

This is basically the 2018 JAS Racing TCR Civic (same engine) but adapted for the consumer. It is as Honda claims; it's a race car for the road. Yes, it is a FWD race car like many touring cars.

[@christamu2]

Hopefully this gets the 2018 Accord infotainment system during the next model year release.

[@dlancer79]

The material on the seats, center console, and door accents is Alcantara micro fiber.

[@st3v3nb915]

All it needs is the yellow fog lights I think the black color is the best looking one for this type R

[@Balithazzarr]

Air means everything, I was riding my 90s concourse bike and I can't go over 100. On paper it's good till 140. I just can't deal with the questionable air the cargo and everything gives my bike so much drag.

[@rufus5208]

Black is definitely the color for this model

[@westdccs]

Forrest, sorry, but I had a terrible experience with Honda of Fort Worth and will never go back there again. Maybe it was just their used car department, but I've never felt so frustrated and insulted with a dealer as I did with this group (and that says a lot because I've put up with a lot from many dealers in DFW). Thank you for taking the time to review the Civic Type R. My biggest issue with the car is the lack of AWD. I think the hatchback is going to have an appeal to the WRX enthusiasts that want to see a hatchback version of this type of car. However, that's why I also think one of the big turn-offs for some people on this car is the lack of AWD. Also, when you recorded the exhaust, even the base WRX has a better sound. I couldn't even tell the car was running and had to turn up my speakers. I also find the three exhaust pipes a bit odd. I imagine this will be one of the first thing tuners who get this car will want to change. When you were driving the car, you didn't mention things like rev hang or turbo lag. Does this car suffer from either of these items? The rev hang drives me a bit crazy in my WRX. If this car does a better job with both of these, I can see that as a selling point.

[@xerxestheii856]

It looks so stunning idk why people call it weird! It's beautiful ❤️

[@amped3854]

The Acura RDX was actually the first ever Honda vtec production car in the states that came stock with a turbo

[@qualitymango8771]

Those vents on the front bumper funnel air to fool the brakes then out of the wheel well vents.

[@Repta666]

I have this car in black. Changed exhaust catback non resonated with matte black tips from Milltek sounds good

[@darkwolfx333]

@3:48 That vent is not for wheel wheel it is a vent for the engine bay heat

[@losmosquitos1108]

These front air outtakes behind the wheels are not fake. They are connected to the engine bay.

[@jocelynkorpaczewski2093]

I honestly wouldn't mind it being front wheel drive... I was debating getting a 350z but they're all rear wheel drive, so having that as a daily driver out in Maine wouldn't be practical.

[@La-yt1wr]

I think the first massed produced Honda product available in the US to offer Turbo and VTEC was the first generation Acura RDX.

[@sarmadqureshi521]

I was talking to my friend about black 2018 Type Rs, I open KZbin, first thing I see.

[@djs18]

It exceeds everyone's expectations. Cars amaZing. I own the 2018... 6100 miles... Love driving it. I destroy people on the corners... Cars a serious weapon for the TALANTED driver. Kids will never know the true talent this car has. Honda priced this car properly.

[@raydioz]

While it's not my type of car I do like the detail you go in to. Take note other reviewers.

[@raydioz]

Thank you for making an excellent review!

[@TCPUDPATM]

How does a hood scoop provide downforce? You need an area of high pressure up top and an area of low pressure below for that. Evacuating air from there is the opposite of producing downforce?!

[@Neadlemeyer]

Coupe of mistakes 20 inch wheels and the front fender vents do vent air out from inside the fender (in the motor bay)

[@bobbybooshay5854]

Excellent detailed review 👌😊

[@Blackthump]

The car has 20" wheels not 19". The air from the hood soope is channeled to the wheel vents.

[@jael2236]

i know it 2019 already but im not a fan of black color of the back seats when the front is red. should be the same

Ok, so correct me if I am wrong, but if they add AWD that will change the weight of the car which will ultimately change driving dynamics, price, and fuel economy. Don’t fix it if it ain’t broken.
