@@franchisefred4066 no one is forcing people to buy them with markups and some dealers still have waiting lists for purchasing at MSRP. Regardless, they'll hold their value just as well (if not better) than the previous generation R. If this is truly the last fully combustion engine R, a model with low miles and good maintenance would probably sell for quite a lot in another 20-30 years. Edit: I agree, for 80k, there are better cars. I don't like dealer markups either, but not all of them will be sold for 70+.

Congrats on the new FL5! I agree with 100% about the quality. That is the first thing you notice when driving this car. The build quality is definitely taken to another level on this one compared to the Fk8. They stepped it up a lot!

Congrats! I’ve been a fan for a few years and I am so happy to see how much you and this channel have grown. Thank you for sharing and have fun with the new whip!
Topher will be kicking his shoes together many times before entering this new rocket!! (I think you forgot to do this because of your moment of excitement in this video) Enjoy! I love watching all your POVs and the one you made of the FK8 help me decide on getting one a few years ago.
So happy you got this car! Ive been subscribed like 2 years i think and youve been awesome and the type R is my dream car so im always glad to see your content on it, enjoy!
Beautiful car and super happy for you bro! I hope the dealer didn't hurt you with a big markup! Drive fast and dont die🤟🏼
I’m so happy!!!!! To see that someone that drives so many different vehicles love a good HONDA!!!!
Congrats man! You deserve it. Best car review channel out there

This and the GR Corolla are my current “attainable” dream cars. Congrats! I’m hoping I can buy one new in the next few years.
Congrats on the new type R! I’m a huge fan, love your videos! You deserve it!

Congratulations Topher, I'm happy for you.
Congratulations Topher! She’s a beauty!!
Good luck and fun with your new car 😀
Your spec looks great! Looking forward to your upcoming videos. I’m shocked to see an actual gas cap.
Enjoy it! I love cruising around to break in a car. FYI, I used to put a cloth wristband over the metal shift knob in my RSX during the winter.

Yeah I really dont know why he wouldn't just sell the brz instead of lifting it like he mentioned. Doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense instead of selling it and getting something more winter capable. I'd probably get a tacoma or some other smaller truck if I was in his position and sell the brz.

Hey Topher, one thing I used to do with my GTI was to put a sock inside out on the shift knob when I parked. Helped it from getting piping hot in the summer and better than touching the freezing knob in the winter. Congrats on the amazing new car!
Hope to catch you on the road one of these days, you're the best! Great purchase, i love the new civic.
wow, congratz Topher!
Congrats bro you deserve it!!
omg bro you bought it! Congrats!!! Super sick post. You are my favorite my bro
Congratulations! Have fun with it. I'll tune in for vicarious driving experiences. Be nice to have a realistic driving game with this!
Congrats bro! Can’t wait for future videos
LESGOOOO was waiting for this vid Congrats brotha
All the videos I’d seen so far were during the day so I didn’t realize it had that red interior accent lighting! Love it!
Congrats man on the new whip! Sick little car.
i love you. thank you for sharing this positive experience
Congrats on getting the Type R! Two years ago I test drove an 18 Type R and knew I had to get one one day. Since then I found your channel and have watched pretty much all of your Type R content. Helps me cope ha! My wife is sick of hearing about cars though! Take a road trip down to North Carolina with that thing and let’s go on the Tail of Dragon while I’m waiting to get one myself ha! Looking forward to more Type R content! Keep it coming!
Congrats on the type r. You deserve it. Great car with great reliability
Yes you got one! Congrats!
Love that 850R. Good for you it’s not gone forever 😁
Congrats man! Cant wait for the track videos with this thing
Thanks for the video, the interior look amazing at night
Such an awesome car, I love the design and how simple and functional it is, hope you have a lot of fun with it!
I think it looks more like a family friendly sport sedan now than it's previous gen but it's also a very clean look that I'm slowly enjoying.
Congrats! I’ll live vicariously through you until my February build gets here. Let’s hope it’s championship white like yours.
i absolutely love this gen ctr. love the looks of it i think honda did it absolutely perfectly evolving from the previous gen to this its perfect
Quite a surprise, didn’t think topher would go this route. 🎉
Absolutely amazing interior !!!

Awesome car! Congrats! I was just able to get a F150 PB well below the MSRP but when it’s time for a fun car I’ll be all over type R. Hopefully prices come down in about a year or so like you said.
Congrats on the Type R!

Congrats bud! Love the car and can’t wait to see how you enjoy it. I love it and selfishly can’t wait to enjoy it too! 😂
I recently bought a 2006 honda Civic Coupe EX Manual for 3 grand CAD. It's in fantastic shape, and my first car. I love these cars, super fun.
Congrats!!!
Congratulations on the FL5! Would love to see how the ownership review turns out to be. Gonna be living vicariously through the Topher 😂. How does the ride in comfort mode compare to a Subaru WRX? That comparison would give me a great idea of how the FL5 compares to the WRX as a DD.
Congratulations. Have fun with your Type-R. Greetings from Germany
What an awesome video to watch, congrats man. I would like to ask for your opinion comparing this to the Honda civic SI you previously owned, more specifically how different the shifter feels, the seats, the comfort of the ride, and just overall how different it feels compared to the civic Si.
congrats man!! it’s been a journey to see your ownership of so many fantastic vehicles and it’s a pleasure to see you add this one to the stable😁
Wow you finally got one. Great!
Congrats!
I'm not even envious, I'am just happy for you.
Congrats dude! 😁
Great choice Chris
such an awesome car man. congrats!
congrats on your new FL5! 🥰
I redline my new Honda cars right off the lot when I get them, including my last Type-R. It was great in the winter too.
Looks good Topher 👍
Cool, enjoy the miles
If I had the money this would definitely be the two cars I would pick right now too, but I’d rather have the 86 over the brz. Great choices Topher!
Beautiful. You deserve it 👏
TheTopher and Tedward both got FL5s🤩 Can’t wait to see the content from both channels
Whats crazy is all of the cars you have driven you chose the FL5. That shows the quality of the craftsmanship of how Honda builds with love. Enjoy!
Congrats sheesh love the fl5 subscriber since 2016 or 2017 i think from Philippines 🇵🇭
Sweet ride. Enjoy it!!
