  • A POV of the 2023 Honda Civic Type R. I had never driven one before and these were my initial impressions, I'm impressed by the car, it has a 2L 4cyl engine putting out 315hp with a manual transmission, do you even need more from a car like this?
    Thanks to Moon TWP Ford for lending me the Mustang in todays video, check them out here: www.moontownshipford.net/

    Unfortunately you missed most of the highlights of this car. It’s FWD versus AWD to keep it lightweight and this cars handling is it’s key ingredient to it’s incredibly fast lap times. While you actually were hoping for some torque steer, Honda went to great engineering lengths to come up with a solution to eliminate it, and it’s dual axis front suspension is the solution. Having a cars power pull it from it’s intended path of direction is never really desirable so eliminating torque steer is important to most driving enthusiasts. That gearbox btw has been praised as one of the best manuals ever, and as I own a 992 GT3 with an incredible manual transmission, I agree that the Type R’s is definitely in the same league. And lastly, the rear spoiler on the car does help it produce actual downforce and is not just a styling trinket as you insinuated it to be. The Civic Type R is literally one of the only cars that I can think of in modern history that has pretty much been over MSRP every single year since it came out in 2017. To me that shows that car enthusiasts appreciate what it is and offers and they see value in what it provides

      As an FL5 owner myself, I am glad you wrote this so I didnt have to! Very well said, James.
      Another thought I had, the he almost made it sound like the Individual drive mode was its own drive mode. Which it is but is very customizable. You can choose the settings that you like the most. Want the ride firmer? +R mode. Want lighter steering? Comfort mode. Something in the middle for throttle response? Sport mode. Just to name a few.

    I know it must seem like a toy to you and nothing more. But that little toy would smoke the crap out of your AMG on most any track with more than 4 turns. By a large margin too. Look up the numbers.
    Not saying it's a better car, but if you want an affordable, reliable and low cost of ownership sports car that can run with cars 2 -4 times the price, then it's a great value. You're right about the Mustang being a completely different level of vehicle. The Honda is easily level or two more advanced.

It has adaptive suspension so you again adjust the ride also open the exhaust valves and also change steering feelUnless it was individual mode were you can set all those options to your preference so hard to say what mode it’s in.
