HUGE miss by Honda, not making enough of these for everyone who wants one. It's the perfect car for enthusiasts starting families, who need practicality in their track toy. But dealers have made sure that it's priced for people with Porsche money, and so out of reach for the type of person it was built for. I have nothing but F U's to give to Honda for allowing it to come to this.

Nice Type R! $50,000 is a lot of money and I know costs have gone up but wow! Would love to drive one. Back in the day I paid 10,500 for my 1990 CRX Si and it was made in Japan! It’s still awesome and makes me feel a certain way when driving it. Is Type R made in Japan too? For that price, I would hope so.

I have the ITS damper module mod as well,but I don’t find the difference as dramatic as others although I’m still glad I did it. I’ve made two suspension mods being Cusco rear sway bar and strut bar.

I can't imagine tuning it for more power, totally not needed. The way it handles is insane as well, the second the differential kicks in powering through a corner it's like the car locks on to train tracks.

Thats an awesome car, sometimes I wish cars were accessible here in Brazil, the Type R barely came here by independent imports and the old ones are also hard to find and the price asked is above a common house price.. I'm barely able to keep my old 2000 civic that I bought with 200k km but its going strong. Honda makes great cars.

Thanks for sharing the video. I was wondering if you drove FK8 and how does it compare to FL5? Im in indonesia and the markup they charge for FL5 is nuts, almost double the price of used FK8. The gundam looks isnt for everyone i guess.

I agree that it doesn’t really make sense to add more power. Do you think you’ll do any cooling mods? I just got mine in December and haven’t taken it to the track yet but curious how it is going to hold up stock.

Acuity sells upgraded shifter cable bushings and shifter base bushings. Those two will make the shifter feel a bit more sharp and the shifter won't flex as much when hard shifting. You can also try upgraded detent springs in the transmission for a heavier feel going in and out of gears. I have all 3 with the stock shifter in my 9th gen Accord and it feels great.

I know you've been in several FK8 2017/2018 models, how well does the interior hold up in those from what you've seen? I've noticed in my 2023 GR86 the plastic in the center console and door panels scratches super easy. Seems like every day I get in it I notice another few marks which sucks. I'm not wearring a bunch of jewelry or anything soooo no clue why. Considering buying a 2017 Type R with 35k miles on it.

how do you feel towards the elantra n vs this car?

Love the honest review! Congratulations on the new baby coming a long. Im in the same boat actually which leads me towards why i went with the Elantra N or i30 sedan N as we call it here in Australia. No doubt honda have brought back some of their 90s magic but after test driving both and having owned a fk8 I actually bought a I30N sedan over this for 20k AUD less and couldnt be happier. Its so much more comfortable and just as capable on track. If you're a Honda fan i get it but for everyone else objectively the N is a better deal, especially here in Australia where we get more if a luxury N trim than the states. The moment you start turning off stock features (like something as significant as suspension) from a car thats already overpriced to begin with to make it more livable, that's when you should've probably looked elsewhere.

Did you find that it also prevents android auto navigation from working? When I do this I can search and set a destination in android auto, but I cannot actually start the trip.

I would recommend the Prl rear motor mount. I have it on my integra type s and It makes a noticeable difference and NVH is pretty minimal after a couple weeks of breaking it in.

This was one of the cars i was considering for a fun family hauler well the fk8 at the time. I looked into fk8, ISF, and ‘16 SS. ISF only had 4 seats so that was out, type r had 6MT and seats 5 but overall just maybe a bit too small for the car seat we were using and the stroller we had. The SS checked pretty much checked all the boxes 6mt, ls3, 4 doors, seats 5, and huge trunk. I wouldve loved to check out a m340i or GSF but none in my area in my price range. Type r definitely looks like a fun car around corners, and would love to drive one someday. Congrats on the addition to your family.
