Her knowledge of cars and what was on previous versions, etc. is encyclopedic. I haven't seen a car reviewer more knowledgeable than her. Yet another great review.
+1 Savagegeese. But this is in the same vein, so thumbs up to this video too.
🖤
Lmfao stop simpin
I love her but doug
You've never seen a reviewer more knowledgeable than someone who's title says a civic is more fun than a supercar?
I seriously blew soda on my screen when you popped up those three finger-pointers! 😂 What a fabulous review… this video is going to get massive view numbers. I’m a boomer who would definitely buy this car. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Im a long-time viewer, a first-time talker, and somehow found the courage to speak up today. I can feel you're passionate and love for the automotive world. In my eyes, I truly view you as a modern day super hero. After watching this video, I bought a 2024 FL5. Thank you so much for your guidance, for myself and the others who will need you in the future.
Honda's engineers went all out on this, and it shows. Thanks for taking us along for a ride, Sarah!
except for the seats LOL
@@warwid5419 What's wrong with the seats? They are extremely comfortable and sporty.
@@ytsux9259 You didnt heard? They even stopped the production to fix the issue. There was a weird noise going on after a couple of thousand miles. Tedward talk alot about it in his videos.
The wider stance is a welcome change. Honda really paid attention to making this car perform to it's capabilities. I'm not surprised that you like this car so much. The fun factor is high.
The Type R is a masterpiece from the very first one to the very last
$30 k over MSRP 😭😭😭
@@Zzus321 it’s peoples fault for not saying no and buying something else without a markup.
@@SarahnTuned Agree 💯%, percent 👍
@@SarahnTuned I fully agree. I'd give the dealer both middle fingers on my way out the door.
@@Zzus321 In Europe are not so expensive.. so you need to stand up for yourselves
You are absolutely a journalist. You don't need to go to school for it. You just have to report what you see, and you did that again here. Great review.
Your V-Tec impression was adequate, but not over stated. Great assessment as usual.
Except it only has VTEC on the exhaust not Intake
I agree, great ASSessment.
I haven't been in the car market for years, but I still watch every one of Sarah's reviews for the balanced breakfast of enthusiasm and nerdy details. Makes this Type-R that much more impressive, as Sarah never pulls punches. 👍
All true mechanics demonstrate technology with sound effects,, gets the point across super effectively .
I like this gen Type R over the last gen version. The smoother lines and better designed rear. I also agree make the damn thing a 3 door hatch instead of 4 door hatch. If I could find one without the mark up I would buy it in a heartbeat. Great video as always Sarah, your humor and silliness is top notch.
Yes! 3 dr hatch!!!
3 door hatch? You mean like the Veloster? That car doesn't sell, probably because of "pRaCTicAliTy". I love the veloster but I am afraid they might axe that car. And a whole lot of people would not buy the Type R if it was a 3 door.
@@Synthwave89 probably correct. I'm a dinosaur; I like cars no longer made
I like that replaceable air dam lip/edge. During the winter that can get roughed up.
All subscribers should give a little 😊
@@petermoller8337 🇦🇺👍
Sarah and this Type R match SO MUCH. It’s like it was made for her. Also the lipstick matching the seat and seatbelt is top notch.
Also t-shirt matching rear seat😅😊
Sarah knows it is the little things that count. Mostly.
Dammm calm ur pants down bud
Toyota gr Corolla ffs
You keep setting the new standard for car reviews ! Your attention to detail and talking about upgrades from previous versions is amazing.. I’ve learned more about models than from any other technicians. Your informative, funny and a joy to watch.
Bought one three days ago and I have to agree... the FL5 Type-R is phenomenal!
EXCEPTIONAL review - you did this one so well!!
Your technical review and measurments + the stats are informative.
Incedible work Sarah!!
I'm a big fan of the FK8 ...This FL5 seems to have toned down the aggressive body lines quite a bit. Thanks for the Review Sarah!
Hey Sarah, simply one of the greatest cars ever. you don’t need a journalists vocabulary your face and your enthusiasm says it all fantastic review Thank you.🐧🐧🐧👍
Excellent review! No one else does reviews as useful and fun as you! Also, having lipstick that matches the accents inside of the car is a nice touch
This is a fantastic and brutally honest review. I love the comment about the rear seats, totally agree.
The only thing more striking than the look of that Civic Type R is seeing you doing the review, Sarah! :)
Your Car Reviews are PERFECTION 💯
I really enjoyed the detail of this review. Also the humor is spot on. 👌
These reviews are so fun to watch! Almost as fun as driving the car. 😎
One of the best reviews I've seen if not the best. Starting from the under carriage and moving upwards.
Kudos.
Thumbs up for taking the time to match the shade up lipstick to the seats. Always fashionable Sarah, great review.
Awesome video! Thank you so much for sharing Sarah 🎉
This has got to be my favorite car review you have done! Love the Initial D references and shout outs to the Honda culture. Bravo!!! 🎉
As thorough as usual Sarah. A much nicer looking car than the previous generation Civic. That's about all I've got to say as you've covered it all.
Many thanks.
I got mine in November at the MSRP. I love that here in Ontario, it's illegal to ask for more than what is advertised
That’s awesome!
@@SarahnTuned although it doesn't seem as strong as my fk8.
@@SarahnTunedbecause I've owned an fk8 and an fl5, I call bullshit on those dyno results. My fl5 definitely feels weaker than my fk8 did.
Yeah, but no...
“There is no provincial prohibition in Canada on [dealerships] selling vehicles for more than MSRP,” said George Iny, president of the Automobile Protection Association, an automotive consumer advocacy group based in Toronto." Jason Tchir. Special to The Globe and Mail. Published November 27, 2022.
The prohibition is concerned about advertised price, but MSRP is advertised by a manufacturer, not by a dealer, so...
@IvanDoh once the price is advertised by the manufacturer in a paper, commercial, website, etc, they can't ask for more. They can only add the applicable taxes, and destination fees.
really enjoy your videos and your sence of humor!
I really enjoy your one liners. Your videos make my day ❤😂😅
This review was even better than usual. 10+ on the penguin scale.
Hi Sarah, nice manual dexterity with the multiple color finger pointers!
I like the new Type R more with every review I watch. And yours was the most fun I’ve seen yet, too!
Outstanding review Sarah. Not hard to tell you really like those cars. Noticed your lip color is a near perfect match for the interior trim. Nice attention to detail as usual.
The pointers never get old. 😊
How to get Sarah's OCD into overdrive: Sarah, could you let us know how many zerk fittings there are on each car you review?
Love the artistic camera shots in this. 💪
Great job on the video Sarah! Thanks for making it.
We see what you did there Sarah! bringing out the red rubber glove for the Type R nice! keep it up!
Some of your best work to date- and that is saying something. As an FK8 owner I appreciate the functional improvements. But still prefer the 10th gen styling.
100% should be a two-door coupe, especially when the back seat is not even cattle class. Another great review Sarah. 🙏
I love it when you talk tech specifications.
Great review. Lots of knowledge. I like how you can appreciate all types of cars. I'm not sure why manufacturers dont make many coupes, but where I live you dont see many people driving them. I own the only coupe in my street.
Finally. Honda made a Civic that looks more like a full size car. If that makes sense. I'm loving this body style though.
I enjoyed watching you enjoy this car so much! I do like this generation better than the previous one. It is clean looking.
Great review! The shop setup you have is awesome!
Running mine in at the moment and I LOVE IT. So fun.
It’s a Sarah Type Arrrgh. Here is a little for the Sarah-n-Tuned garage and museum.
Capt Jack's fav... "Civic Type Rrrrrr" 🔥🔥🔥
Great review, we appreciate going in detail with the small details of the car 🤝
It's amazing how knowledgeable you are. Phenomenal review Sarah!
Another awesome Sarah video. Thanks all you do.
🏁
Sarah is another person that makes life bearable. Props, humor, kind heart. Interesting content, thanks.
Oh Sarah! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!! Just got in from playing a gig (it's 03:15 here in the UK), nothing much on the box, thought I'd take a chance and trawl UA-cam a bit, and there you were! Top of the feed 😊😊😊. Excellent! And a great review of a great motor 👉👉👉. Perfect timing. I feel treated now 😁. 😎
Great review of a great little car,but the 10-20k$ mark up is ridiculous.🐧❤️👍
My favorite woman Sarah, smart, clever, brilliant hardworking…. And beautifully gorgeous! 🥰
@@gregrsvr3947 And?!
@@gregrsvr3947 which channel?
@@MauiWauiPineappleExpress what?!
Sarah, another great reaction from you on this car. I had an original Civic many decades ago and generally felt the car was specifically holding back, just because it didn't like me. (confidentially, I think it was cranky having been ripped from it's Mother Japan and would not do what it was built to do over here). The only problem I ever had was the oil pan. Had to replace that twice in the five years we were together because it would warp. Sigh.
Great thorough review I love your details and personal views. I own the FL5 and gained insight I didn’t know and just love this car!
You may not be a journalist, but your reviews are far and away the best.
Also, can you give us another V-tech impression, please🙏
My what wide tires you have!
I am with you @sarah about the sound piping, no fake sounds
You're not a journalist - and so much better for it. Your reviews are so much more relevant and easier to understand than the typical journo variety!
Come for the cars ❤
Stay for the jokes 🔥
Too bad it's butt Fugly I would rather have a better looking slower classier looking Mazda 3 hatchback.
I have not cracked up this much during a car review in a while. I enjoyed all the attention to detail. 10/10. Will be checking out more reviews. It is a crime what dealerships are doing to this market. I've been dreaming for the previous r and now they're even more untouchable. Just called about test driving an si after it lands and nope, can't even do that. I'll have to say it's for UA-cam before they'll consider letting us regular car enthusiasts test drive a new model. 😅
That’s the best review I’ve seen so far of this car. I just ordered one today in Australia. Now I have to wait a year.
Thanks Sarah! Wish I had 1/4 of the car knowledge you have!
Word. Excellent assessment. Thanks for making my day
I love your review so detail and easy to listen 😊
I was not sold on it but now I think so. This is awesome.
First video I’ve seen from you and it’s a really great one. Very enjoyable and interesting 👍🏻
Content is just getting better and better!
Love your attention to detail, matching your lipstick to the red interior trim!
Glad you liked it.
I love the look of this latest Type-R. It is elegant and sporty at the same time.
I like that it'll be a car to appreciate. That'll make it more than worth the ownership. (:
Great video and review. Thank you. I just purchased one on 12/23/23 from my local Honda Dealership in Maine in same color as the one you tested. I was called dealer who noted they just got one and were reaching out to all of those who at same point over the past year emailed them about one and when I asked how much I was shocked when I was told at MSRP. Needless to say I bought it. Love it so far.
I love this Type R. I hope I find the one I want this week and buy it!
Great review
Wow. I like the cars seats in that thing. Thanks Sarah x
Loved the review of the Type R. Your sense of humor is contagious. 🤣
The back seat and rear doors help lower the insurance price. Loved the look on your face while giving it the beans.
Love your attention to detail in your videos like matching lipstick color to the Honda’s interior.
Phenomenal review! Just furthers my desire to get this car in my garage. Thank you!
In 2050 these will be one of the cars we remember.
Tour review of the civic type r was the best car review I have seen in a long time!!!
I would definitely buy this instead of a typical "super car", and not just because it's a tenth the price. You get all that performance, the ability to bring along more than 1 passenger, plenty of cargo space, AND Honda reliability. I agree they should offer it as a 3-door hatch along with the 5-door, but apparently Americans don't "get" such vehicles. And being a 4-cylinder compact car, the gas mileage doesn't totally suck, so you really could road-trip one (that's where the "comfort" drive mode would come into play).
Another fun review, and I for one am glad you're not a typical "auto journalist".
This is the best FL5 review ive seen. Ive seen many, from top gear, to donut media, and hoonigan... best review!
14:34 you can turn off the sound by going into INDIVIDUAL mode, set everything to R+ except the sound. It’s off when it’s on Comfort mode.
This is the most fun review of the type r that I've ever watched. 😂
Another very enjoyable video Sarah, thank you. 😊
If I could spare the bread to trade my '23 Integra 6MT for this top performer, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Sarah, this is my favorite review that you've done so far. Great prep and great work conveying the fun details of this solid street legal funbox. I want one too!
Great review! Excited to see your thoughts on the GR Corolla as well!
My brother had a late 70s--early 80s civic hatch. It only had 2nd and 4th gear sometimes 5th. We drove the crap out of that thing and it never let us down!
I love my FL5 in Boost Blue, and plan on keeping it forever, not for resale however, but as my daily driver. If you dont mind putting in the work, you can find these for a somewhat decent price, compared to the 20-25K markups. I contacted over 100 dealers in over 10 states, and different regions, to find one for less than 10K markup, and this was when they just hit the market, ended up paying just under 53K.
I love this CTR, thanks for the review 🔥😂🙏
Awesome review and awesome Initial D reference with the water and tofu
Should have mentioned that unique front suspension design a bit more. It’s like a cross between McPherson strut and double wishbone. The strut itself doesn’t turn with the steering, and instead it has a small knuckle with upper and lower ball joints inside the wheel, for better SAI and scrub radius, which helps eliminate torque steer. The newer CTR is the only car I’ve ever seen this suspension design on.
Also that aluminium splash tray underneath has been used on almost all Hondas since at least 2016 or so. My mom’s CRV had the exact same panel.
1:05 you also said the tip has grown on you. I giggled like a teenager.
Love the videos. They are fun; Informative without being boring. Keep up the great work!
Loving the picturesque Southern Arizona Sonora desert look in your backgrounds.
Great car, great review as always. Best part was the three-finger point.
It's going to be hard to top that one.
... I mean those. 😁
Love the channel! How many takes did it take with the 3 pointers?!? Hilarious 😂😂
