FK8 looks 10 times better than the FL5...the fl5 is just a sedan with an aftermarket looking wing.

Same thing I said. Fk8 looks like a supercar, it really is one. The 11thgen civics and type r and weaker especially trying to add many mods making more horsepower

It was marketed for a wider audience, does make sense considering the price tags as the people that can afford it are not going to be kids. The fl5 is kinda similar to the fd2 which basically looked like the base civic with a wing so on that point I agree. Type r’s of the past always stood out to the cars around them from their own generation. The fk8 definitely stood out the most. But the feedback from NA and eu was that it looked too sporty

I took a ride in this car personally so when you wanna get rid of it, it belongs to me

Awesome video!! I bought a 2019 FK8 in spring of 2019! I really like it to this day! Prior to my fk8 I have owned 4 different Civic Si’s! In 2009 I bought my first Si! I loved it! Then over the next few years years I bought a 2012 Si, 14’ Si and then a 17’ Si all sedans! My fk8 has 15,000 miles on it and I have kept it stock! have really enjoyed it! I am trying to get an fl5 from the dealership that sold me all my Honda’s in the past! I really enjoyed your video! I am a new subscriber! Your car looks amazing! I love the blue looking forward to watching many more of your videos!! Hope you have a Merry Christmas!🚙🎄👍🏼

I am still enjoying the car and still highly recommend it :) I hope you can find one for a good deal when you are ready for one!

Not sure how it works on the 10.5 gen but on my 2017 you just hold in the cruise control. It's like the older analog CC (like my old 2006 accord) which you hold it in until you're going the appropriate speed you want. The cool thing about this CC though is that it lets you change gears while not cancelling the CC. So you can hit resume and go down and up gears and it will keep the CC in unless you hold the clutch in for like 5+ seconds. Which is nice.
