When we bought the Type R last year, we priced the Integra, and one couldn't be had for less than $60,000. Looking now, they have an MSRP of only $51,000, which is only a few thousand more than we paid for the Type R. But I assume there's still a huge market adjustment. Honestly, I'd rather just step back down to a Civic Si. They fast, fun cars, but still comfortable and good for road trips. And they have some "luxury" options that are completely unavailable in the Type R.
At my age, 59, I can tell your car would be hard for me to ingress/egress. I love manuals but not that much😂 Yesterday I was looking at a Honda CR-V and Passport, Lexus NX, Toyota Crown and Crown Signia. I'm a Lexota fan boy (Toyota +Lexus) so I'm favoring them but Lexota dealer's arrogance due to how well their cars sell is a big turn off to me. I did sit in a GR Corolla. I can't do that...😂
@@jimmybee7966 probably around 8,000. Road trips account for 4-5,000 miles. Otherwise, a typical day is like 4-5 miles. My 2011 Hyundai only has 42,000 miles on it. And the Civic has 7.600 after a year. Our previous Civic was 3 years old when we traded it in, and it had 24,000 miles, and had been to like 25 states.
Honda recommends changing synthetic oil every 7500-10000 miles. I change mine every 5000. Air filter is recommended at 30000 to 45000 miles. The car's computer tells you when you should do maintenance. And I pretty much follow that, except for the early oil changes.

@@kobi2002I could see that coming in handy if you want to avoid a citation for speeding. I’m not aware of any such feature on the US version. There is a way to set an audible alarm to let you know you’re going over the limit. Other performance cars have a special set of keys that limits torque, hp and speed when that key is in use. For when your teenaged kid talks you into letting him take the car out on date night, or if you have to then the car for to a valet. The Type R doesn’t have that feature either.
@@jimmybee7966 I’ll have to try that. When I was a kid, my dad had a little machine that sandblasted spark plugs. He’d clean the plugs every 3000 miles and use them indefinitely.
I’ll look again, but i’m pretty certain they are not. That has been the case with every other non-Honda vehicle I’ve ever owned, and there was always an index listing of “capacities”. In this book, this is not the case.
Thanks for all the good content!
Thank you so much for your generosity!
Great change! What if I tell you that I drive a 2018 Volvo XC90, a SUV?
This is such a great video

Civic Type R or Integra Type S. That's a tough decision.

@@504RoadTrips Crazy markups. My brother just got a new Sequoia TRD Pro. 83g sticker and it took him a whole year to find one without a markup.

I have a little trouble getting in and out of it, which makes the car a bit impractical. But I refuse to buy an SUV.
Hello, do you still have that 66 Mustang? How many cylinders does your current Civic have in the engine
No, I've owned 5 Mustangs over the years, but none now. Every Civic ever made, since its introduction in 1972 has had 4 cylinders.
@@504RoadTrips Thanks! My dream car is a Mustang. My favorite car that my husband and I had was an 88 crown Victoria
Bitchin' car dude. 👍🏿💯
@@ceetwyce335 thanks!
Nice car! in a typical year, including road trips, about how many miles do you do?
@@jimmybee7966 probably around 8,000. Road trips account for 4-5,000 miles. Otherwise, a typical day is like 4-5 miles. My 2011 Hyundai only has 42,000 miles on it.

Do that on my 2021 F150 Lariat Pickup as well
@@DerrickTony68 probably don’t even need ramps or a jack. I miss having a huge vehicle.
How often do you change the oil every 1000 miles?
Also, how often do you change the air filter?
Honda recommends changing synthetic oil every 7500-10000 miles. I change mine every 5000. Air filter is recommended at 30000 to 45000 miles. The car's computer tells you when you should do maintenance. And I pretty much follow that, except for the early oil changes.
Aren't all honda drain plugs 17mm?
Every Honda I've had has used the 17 mm plug.
Cars are getting way too over engineered

HEY kislux I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
Auto idle stop is an option that comes in any type r that doesn’t come to the us or Canada.
I had no idea that anything other than an automatic could have that. What a stupid feature to put on a performance car.
@@504RoadTrips in New Zealand they have a speed limiter button. If on, it won’t let you go over the speed limit. It can be turned off though.

I have never wiped new oil on the gasket...just a dab of what's dripping off the mount.
Why spend money on a drain pan when you have a perfectly good storm drain a few feet away?
And why buy a new oil filter, when you can just clean the old one by flushing it gasoline and alcohol?
@@audubon5425 can’t get the car off the ground over the drain, duh!

The oil capacity along with most of other fluid capacities, are listed at the end of the owners manual under capabilities.
