😂ok bro

This new Type R is a definite improvement on the old model, especially in terms of styling 😲😃. Pitting this up against the RS3 and A45 would be pretty cool to see. Another awesome review Sid 😄

Good video! I suspected the FL5 Type R to be one of these truly special cars one would actually consider buying in a minute. Hearing from you this kind of high praise solidified this thought. Any chance you will do a video with a GR86? Would love to hear your thoughts on this one as well! Cheers✌️

Stay posting Sid! don’t make the mistake of stopping again! you could have already been up there with the big boys.... with time :)

Thank you Sid for this fantastic review and being honest as usual. It was a pleasure to meet you at the CCD event and chat for couple of minutes. You are such a down to earth person!

Love the FL5, very pricy but a pure drivers car, so much more involving than typical Bradford mush RS3 for the same money would love to get behind the wheel

You my friend... Depict exactly how I experience cars. I've had the Fiesta ST (2014), 2014 Opel Astra OPC (Vauxhaul Astra VXR to you), and the 2019 Megane RS Cup... And the best experience for me was the ST. CRACKING! car... The bigger hatches dampen the feel a bit. I for one hate the 4 wheel drive varients. But, the feel when pushing on in the ST is second to none. An absolute riot. Thank you for doing what you do mate. For not getting into too much manufacturer detail and sharing your feel and emotion of cars. Brilliant!!!

Def wanna see a RS3, A45S and Civic compare. Throw in a GR Yaris just for good measure if you could please. I own a GR Yaris and a Morizo Edition GR Corolla so I'd be keen to see how this thing goes up against that lot, as I'm seriously considering adding this Civic to my stable. Cheers

I have heard from a couple of mechanics in Japan that a big downside of these cars is a relatively flimsy spot-welded chassis. While they handle brilliantly when new, track one for a year and it’s done.

Those mechanics must be Chinese lol The FD2 used the same process glue instead of welds and its still fine after 10 years. You really thibk Japanese people would make something unworthy!

This car looks awesome. Performance is unbelievable. I'm in love ❤️ But the price breaks my heart 😂 Great review👍

Hi Sid Yeah great review. Just a few things might need clarification. Only seats 4 not 5 as you stated. Also you said no longer available (to buy). With respect probably depends where you live albeit would concede they are difficult to come by and there seems to be waiting lists in many if not all markets. Btw I picked up one in Sydney, Australia in February and simply adore it! Cheers. Harry

You did promise a car that would topple the almighty Clubsport S and the Type R does certainly deliver! Can't wait to get behind the wheel of one, you make that precise gearshift sound almost magical.

5:17 the Porsche mob got to him before he could finish that sentence 😂

Great video, Sid. Diffently do the comparison

Great vlog, cheaper than a gt3 but hardly affordable! 😂 Yes I would like to see a comparison between the 3 👍

Wild bit of kit that, I like the more restrained look

Great review, arguably the best hot hatch on sale. The price is steep though. The FN2 type R really aren't that bad at all. Especially for the money they can be had for.

Great review and looking forward to a comparison video

Would love to see a comparison between this and an i30 N

I hope the 5th person likes sitting on cup holders. Least they do a dump 😂 BTW $72,800 drive away in AUD.

Brilliant! But I ain't paying £51k for a Civic! They've already put a price increase in since its launch which is just taking the piss!

I have a GTI Clubsport and was looking at this as a replacement, glad to hear the comparison.

Great review. Honestly so we’ll put together and articulated.

i have a RS3 8V.2 stage 3 and i drove a Fk8 and really loved it :) nice to see you think this is even better...i might have to change haha and it will be more reliable for sure than the Audi

The Type R thing is not for me but coming from Sid is a clear indication that it isa good hot hatch which is hardly surprising considering Honda antecedent!

Great review💯🎯🔥

Great review. Really want one of these

Soon come FL5! Looking forward to my upgrade from the FK2 soon, the FL5 is in another league compared to an RS3 or A45S they are fast yes, but it's just floor it and go no drama no excitement, they get launched into oblivion farting up the road everywhere they go😂😂😂 a FK2 is not a subtle car but when I'm making progress I'm waaaaay under the radar compared to the German hatchbacks, would love to see a comparison on track just to see what the difference is 👌👍 Make it happen Sid 👉👀💯

Well said. I’ve recently picked up my FL5 and I feel like every RS3/A35/45 owner wants to blast me at the lights to prove some kind of point. Could care less. For me it’s about engagement and how the car makes you feel not who can floor it the fastest at the lights.

@@washout04 Enjoy in good health! How are you finding it? And did you come from a previous Type R if so how does it compare? I really like the interior/dash upgrade it was the one area that I felt the FK2/8 was really lacking.

You can't fit five adults in it Sid. It's only a four seater. But I agree it is an outstanding car.

The FK CTR drives like it should be wearing a Porsche badge. Unfortunately the engine note leaves much to be desired because it's devoid of character. If I could have the CTR with the personality of the Veloster N it would be perfect.

Better gearshift than a manual GT3? That’s a big call.

Excellent video Sid! Keep up the good work.

A comprehensive comparison Type R, RS3 and A4 please!

Make that comparison video against the rs3 and a45. Type r wipes the floor with both on track for definite.

Great vid Sid. You didn’t mention the sound of the FL5? It came across a little synthesised in the cabin but be good to get your thoughts, cheers 👌🏽

They should bring back the FK2 quad exhaust system back as they looked better than the triple on the new version

Great content yet again! Do it, do the comparison!

Honda have been brave in terms of pricing because alot of people I feel will go for German. The Type R is already pretty rare on the road.

nice one Sid!

This review makes me want a Civic Type R like Harry Metcalfe made me want (and buy) a Clio 182 Trophy.

Awesome content thanks! But it’s too big for the UK

+R suspension mode can be scary on not so good B roads 😄 Blind spot system is really too sensitive and overcautious on all current Honda models.

the dashboard rattle is crazy on this car. 🤦🏻

Would love to see video with this and ep3

I dont know what it is with these I really want to like them and I like what Honda are doing but they just dont interest me in the slightest

Sick car, but the price tag puts me off. The FK8 is far more appealing to me.. but going from your last video, could you get a MK5 VW GTI and modify it to be as quick for a fraction of the cost? Probably

Great video bro, i seen one yesterday driving through Aylebsbury, could that have been you? Keep up the good content ❤

the acura integra type s wouldve suited British roads more tbh. Better car all round basically except maybe track use

Out of respect mate you make amazing videos but I’ve got a question? How did you get into car reviews? And also how can I do it? 😂

Great review, get the RS3 / A35 around a track and the CTR will smoke them!

Looks like a yobs car I'm a bit too old for that, i'll take the Cayman. Do you do the sims Sid? That and a bit of proper racing as well?

so if it was your money, for 35k a used Clubsport S or this at 48k. what would you get, is the FL5 that much better?

Yes to a comparison with the RS3 and the A45s! Top content as always Sid 🫡🤘🏾

It looks way better than the last one, more grown up but that being said, it's too expensive, not faster than the previous one, still a 2l fart machine and still fwd.
