2023 Honda Civic Type R vs The Competition // Drag Race, Lap Times & Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лис 2022
- The 2023 Honda Civic Type R ($50,050 in Canada, $42,894 in the US) has a lot to prove. Not only does it have to succeed its highly-regarded previous generation, but it needs to go toe to toe with some serious hatchback heavyweights. Such as the Volkswagen Golf R ($47,495 CAD, $44,740) and the Ford Focus RS ($48,964 CAD, $36,775 USD) among others. Thomas and James are eager to see how this new FL5 generation of Civic Type R has been improved and how it compares to its competitors on the track and drag strip. The results aren’t always as you might expect when a new generation comes along! Let’s see how the FL5 holds up. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching. SUBSCRIBE!
Thank you to / michelincanada for donating tires

Are you sure? My bet is they pull on each other.

That rolling race wasn't expected at all. I am just as shocked. Someone at Honda stuffed up big time
Wider rubber means more rolling resistance and more aero drag which weighs in at higher speeds. It also means better launch and better cornering which all plays out. Cars must indeed be very similar with subtle configuration changes leading to measured differences. Not too surprising really.
@@giovannigaleotti2623 Wider tires are also heavier. Rotational mass slows acceleration.
@@WisconsinEric the fl5 is also on 19’s while the fk8 is on heavy ass 20’s so the rotational mass is a mute point
@@2141mario Swap wheels and run em again
@@WisconsinEric that’s gonna benefit the older one more
It's a joy that the Type R, Elantra N, Golf R, and GR Corolla are in direct competition. All offer their own pros and cons and are fantastic cars for their respective companies.
You forgot the RS
MAN, you guys bring the value. Where others merely test the Type R, you compare it
And a lot more entertaining, but mentioning this is admittedly redundant 😄
yeah, definitely brings more audience to the video. I don't remember if straightpipes did this. Then again i like these guys better.
@@khyoon14 Straight Pipes are a bunch of sore losers.
You said it, love these guys !
One of the many reasons why this channel is way above Straight Pipes or Doug Demuro.
I love how everyone is drifting towards the conclusion that every single car in this segment is just great. It's gotten to a point where you can legitimately pick your car just by the brand you want to drive the most, and no one can really blame you for it.
True tho the brz and gt86 are in my opinion the only cars I'd leave off the list. Simply because they aren't really faster than these hot hatches but they also aren't as great to live with. But that's my personal opinion
@@championxxlNL: Whichever’s cheapest, has the cheapest repairs and gets the most attention, eh???
@@championxxlNL I would tend to agree but some people really want an affordable RWD sports car, and those cars fill that gap
I'm glad that's the case, considering I can't afford to pick my car as a college student lol. I've only ever owned auction cars that I'm lucky enough to buy for cheap and my dad helps me repair. We picked up a manual 2021 GTI recently and I couldn't be happier
@@championxxlNL Assuming you mean the new GR86 and not the old one, by all accounts they're way more fun than any of these hot hatches though
If Ford had kept making and improving the Focus RS, I have no doubts that it would shame the Civic and Golf in launch and rolling drags. Such a shame to see that legendary car falling by the wayside. On the other hand, I really like the new Civic! Styling and performance are spot-on.
Frs
They would have to ditch the 2.3L turbo with a improved engine which costs $$$. The ford Focus RS engine was recycled by the Mazda speed 3 & 5 which had bad reliability.
😂 you realize VW has the best dct around right. Shame whom?? , the Ford lost every single race lol
Ford Hocus Pocus the garbage Focus the car no one likes.
@@RDriver2.0 It's literally the oldest car there and cheapest, it's actually impressive how it kept up with those modern cars and even pulled on launch. DCT is good and all but the Focus hung still, so yea, it's a shame really.
The Golf R with the DSG would be a monster
@@layne4376 Still more fun than 95% of the cars on the road, but I get what you saying.
Dudes really brought back the Focus RS🔥
One of my favorite cars 🥺
Also one of my fav cars
Also also one of my fav cars
i still kinda miss the old design
It’s a real shame Ford buried the RS and ST in North America.
Karston's "what" when Thomas suddenly shot past him was immediately preceded by me saying the same thing in the exact same tone of voice.
And his face looked like Saitama on James’s Sweatshirt 😂😂😂
Bro same
First time ive seen his teeth
Seemed like maybe a slow shift on Karston's part.
@@jeremyjones5687 from One Punch Man?
Great video as always. One of my favorite channels to watch. Swap wheels on the new Type R and the old one and see what the track difference will be. Next episode on Extra Throttle House
I love that you guys mention things nobody else does. Talking about the tire differences in track tests is crucial. Many others overlook it.
Throttle house is pulling better numbers than Daddy Doug on this video with half the subscribers. Just goes to show you what constant investing back into your channel does. Hats off to you boys, you’re killing it!
This channel offers more driving and less autism
Doug sucks never liked his reviews
Doug is the master at explaining "quirks and features" in a dorky fashion, yet he's incapable of driving really fast in a track and cannot extract or convey the emotion these cars are meant to evoke from a proficient driver
Doug reviews car for the more average enthusiast, these guys review it for the more track focused enthusiast
You can have both, And it doesn't have to be a pissing contest! But I agree these guys are killing it and the production value keeps going up and up. The more awesome car content on UA-cam the better! Cheers
The Golf R in the roll race shocked Karsten so much that it broke his focus in the Focus.
Throttle house needs to pin your comment.
Por drive
😂
focus drivers be like
how can someone think that a 6yr old hot hatch car can keep up with a brand-new hot hatch car just boggles my mind!! 6yrs of newer tech will almost definitely beat older tech ..
I had to replay "Our focus shifted to a focused man focused in a focus" a few times to truly understand the poetry that was unravelling in my ears.
love the reveal of †he "ok" one punch man shirt when james said ok
As an FK8 owner, seeing it go faster in the roll race put a grin on my face :) ALSO, the F1 driver callout over the SP GP was hilarious hahaha
Same… I’ve been thinking about getting the FL5 to go with our FK8… as my 2006 Sti is showing age, but man, it’s so raw in comparison. Hard to decide
@@scottjua forget about the fl5, stay with the FK8🙏
With a $5,000 increase in price over the old type R is a tough buy in my opinion knowing its not a better car.
@@codysmith9813 Good luck finding one at $37,000 🥴 There's a few FK8s at a dealer near me I was interested in. They're $50,000 used 🥲
@@scottjua just get a new WRX, the 2.4L Is great, got the FA20 turbo on my Forester XT, quite superior to the EJ25 to be honest, I imagine the FA24 is even better. A cobb stage 1 tune will also get you up to type R power levels
The Focus RS still hanging in there with the newer models.
And it is a much more attractive design than either the Civic or VW
only where are those 35hp?
@@nielsdebakker3283 getting sucked up by the weight
@@jimrod4539 What weight? It's 17 lbs heavier than the Golf but has 35 more HP and 70 more ft-lbs
Its still a Ford at the end of the day. And we all know Ford sucks hard overall as a brand.
With all the dealer mark ups the gr Corolla and CTR are getting the gr86 looks like a bargain.
A used CTR 10 like a bargain compared to the GR86. So do the N cars.
Luckily i found a Gr Corolla only 5k mark up. Others are 10k and 15k mark ups
damn the fact that the ELANTRA N is only seconds away from some insane expensive performance vehicles is wild
I know its not a "new" car but can we please just get a lap time of the Focus RS?! I am beyond curious how it stacks up in a real world scenario against its competitors.
I second that
It deserves a lap time. I love mine.
This!
@@O2TG i have the mk8 fiesta st, wish these guys got to drive it
@@O2TG they are so fast
30 minutes of throttle house? Absolutely amazing
Opening scene had me laughing out loud!! 😂
You guys aren’t just great car reviewers you’re also entertaining as hell! 👍🏻
It is such a pity that the RS is done... What a great car!
Stock it's actually quite slow feeling, even a standard stage 1 map with just an Intake really makes the car feel much different.
Wait for new RS to come.
if only it didnt blow up trannys and diffs like a kid in a candy store
@@tomislavzalud4578 but ford isn’t making cars anymore besides the mustang
@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree They do, just not in North America
I love how even after 4 years, they still make the Focus RS relevant and part of the comparison for performance hatches
This is assuming you can find one that hasn't blown up.
Isn't it because they still sell them in Europe?
@Jacob Green - I know right?! Absolute bs. I haven’t seen an RS here in the states for over two years; but, I just got back from France and I saw a few of them.
@Hyper #8 - Yep; I just got back from France and I saw a bunch of them!! My face lit up, I was like wow!!!
@@ralphlazio505 I see an RS a couple times a week here in ohio
You can see how the bar has been raised in the last 5 years since the Focus RS, which was king of the hill at the time. You two are stellar as always.
As an RS owner I'm very curious how much this was car and how much is was driver
No, Honda type r has always been king..

Extra rotating mass might actually slow it down a little. I would be interested in seeing that tested.

"Please make sure there is no background noise, then try again" 😆 Great review and tremendous driving as always boys, keep up the wonderful work & stay safe!
Please release a T -shirt quoting James, "I'm the only one who pulls on me!" 😂🤣😅
I think we need a “Huge Wang” T-shirt with a pic of James pointing at a spoiler wing. 1:52
I’ll buy that too! Put a FK8 on it for me please. CW😊
Damn, new Type-R statistically as fast as an M2 comp? That is a massive accomplishment.
People will argue it's going to vary by track, day, etc. BUT the fact that it's even close is a crazy accomplishment by Honda.
Potentially as fast, but if the Golf was a second quicker on this day than previously, the M2 could also be a second quicker in these conditions. Either way, the Civic is impressively fast, but while it may match the M2 in lap times, it sadly isn't anywhere near it for fun. Sadly because I so badly wanted Honda to stop their lap time obsession and make fun cars again, but alas no...
@@takeit1229 more a bmw fault. The m2 is too big and heavy
It's a tight track too.
@@GetOffMyLog wow do you consider that tight? It's at least twice as wide as an average mountain road here. Maybe that's why these hot hatches are not that fast
Expression of THomas at 4:35 while shifting from 3rd to 4th.. priceless. Made my day..
Thats the expression of a man staring at eminent loss.🤣🤣
The focused man in the focus, his facial expressions were amazing you could tell what he was thinking the entire time, and when he actually spoke “what” I was cracking up.
265 ps4s tires vs old 245 continentals, I'm not surprised in the slightest it was faster on the track. That's a huge tire and grip difference.
Yeah, I feel like that could account for literally all of the time difference to be honest. Would love to see this done again but with a set of FL5 wheels shoved on the FK8. Car wouldn't be set up for them but I wouldn't be surprised if it was still within a couple of tenths then.
Also, 265s are insane on a hot hatch. A new RWD M4 Comp only has 255 rear tyres but that has 510hp and weighs more than most towns. Those tyres and the relatively poor economy (I'm assuming not much improved since the FK8) mean the FL5 has comparable running costs to some fairly serious sports cars that it can't compete with as a driving experience- a 991 Carrera would cost the same to buy and run, at least here in the UK. In terms of driving pleasure, that's really not a comparison the FL5 wants to be part of...
@Apothecary Terry
The new M4 has 275s in the front and 285s out back for both wheel sizes
@@HotHatchHero Interesting, you're correct, tyre companies clearly haven't quite got their websites sorted for that, I checked 2 registrations against 2 tyre companies thinking that would be accurate info! Either way, 265s on the FL5 is still insane for a hot hatch.
Before even watching, I just want to thank Honda for making the new Type R actually beautiful and not make it look like a crashed space shuttle.
back end really reminds me of a stinger
I think they toned it down just a little too much
@@Zokoych so does your mother's 😎
Cringe
@@Zokoych which is not a bad thing
I own a FK8. Its just a great car for fun on the track and at the same time a great daily driver. Even after more than three years of owning this car, i still feel joy the moment i take a seat in it.
Greetings everyone!
I've got a 2020 revised Type R GT and we get 320bhp stock, just ordered a few bits so will be close to 400bhp soon.
I've just put a deposit on a 2018 sonic grey pearl one. Pick it up this week. Used to have an EP3 so buzzing to get a Type R again
@@simonh2011 Good choice. Have fun with your new car!
Never been a car guy but watching you two review cars is making me one
Shame the Focus RS didn't have a go on the new surface track. Would have been interesting to see how a 5-6 year old car stacks up to the new hot hatches
Glad we weren't the only ones getting thrown about in the new Civic Type R 😅
You guys are hilarious. Great reviews with some comedy thrown in! Love it!
Great comparison video, especially between the CTR FK8 and FL5. Nice to see some of the improvements Honda's made, but as an FK8 owner I'm very happy I got my 2021 edition. Perrin motor mount upgrade is a must-do for the FK8; wheel hop is pretty much eliminated.
Focus RS will forever be my favourite hatchback such a lovely car😍
From an Elantra N owner, it felt great just to be included in this debate!
Elantra N owner here as well and I totally agree ! Was watching this with my wife who knows nothing about cars and she's finally starting to understand how special the EN is.
Elantra N look up there a vid with a Elantra with just tune and tires doing 11s in the 1/4 thats crazy fast for a stock care with such simple mods , also i hace both the fk8 and EN and i can say these cars are veeery similar
@@opadilla123as an EN owner who’s allowed multiple FK8 and FL5 owners drive my DCT N they’re all blown away at the fact it costs less than the FK8 and FL5 and is just as quick if not slightly quicker and has all the things that made the FK8 special besides the heritage but that comes with time. Let’s hope Hyundai and Honda continue to push one another to keep making the best cars in this segment.
Still want a Focus RS
Facts, love that car spiritually
I think they over rated the HP
I don’t, Ford doesn’t care to sell them here, so I don’t care to buy one!😠
@@johnbaird8805 no one cares what you think
@@phillipeyb6164 Except for you apparently! 😆
i’ve seen other reviews show how to turn off piped in noise while staying in type r mode and showed being able to customize gauge cluster to have whatever gauge at whatever driving setting in individual mode amongst many other great customizations. just thought i would throw that out there
Just when you think that this channel has reached peak production levels, you guys pull something like this off. Unbelievable, you guys are absolute legends, well done!
As I suspected, the change in final drive, which improves mpg, makes the new one slower in a straight line
Excellent. Usable on the streets for 99 percent of us
Final Drive is what people don't realize makes the difference. If it has enough in the torque curve to pull the gears it'll have a wave you feel. If not, it does that... I have the highway gear in my truck; 3.55 ratio. 70 mph at 2,000rpm but with that you get 1-2 shift at 35mph and the 2-3 at 70.. with 4 & 5 being overdrive. So I run OD off to avoid it shifting too much in the city, negating the "milage gains" though which is pointless because it has enough torque to leave in 2nd and 4/5 doesn't shift until 40-50 with lockup around 52mph. So old auto or new Manual, gearing matters
Not that simple to tell - when the overall tyre diameter is a different size, not to mention there is slightly different power. Wasn't going to know until the test.
So it all comes down to gear ratios??
I love my FK8. That being said though slower or not I still want an FL5! I love the new design
I do like the banter between these two. Far better than most youtube channels
Yeah, it confirms all my fears for the FL5. When its time to get a Type R, it’ll be an FK8. They look better to me too.
I still like the FK2 a lot too! I prefer the smaller overall dimensions of the 9th gen Civic hatch and the magic seat layout is useful. Unfortunately the FK2 Type R was never sold in Australia.
If you like ricers, and under aged, then of course...FK8 will work. Not for grown ups.
@@gw4886 ya it’s horrific
@@gw4886 disagree. New CTR looks boring.. and awkward
@@TassieLorenzo I’m currently driving a 9th gen si so I too am disappointed that the FK2 was only sold in japan.
Thank you both for not only providing useful information, and driving impressions, but also entertainment. Kudos guys!
Seeing the old RS come back and show the new kids its still got it just made me happy ngl.
@@That1lowaccord It did yeah, but it did respectably well
@@__-fm5qv it was the most powerful car in this video
@@silimarina. Officially yes, but the Golf R is massively under-rated power wise, its true power as been found to be much closer to 350 so very similar to the Focus.
@@silimarina. hope you realize the Golf R actually has similar power, the factory numbers are understated.
@@That1lowaccord so what? It's a 5 year old car, you're kidding yoursel if you expected anything else. The fact that it _barely_ lost is impressive, especially since it's not known for being the fastest in a straight line.
You guys are great. This is an excellent video - much like all of your others!
Brilliant work boys! So good that you compared the 2 Type R's!! No other channel like it.
I think Karston deserves to be in the vids a lil longer than just a couple drag races
One thing I recall when C&D long term tested the accord 2.0t, it gained almost 5mph in the 1/4mile after 40,000 miles, maybe this engine is experiencing the same thing after more break-in
I was thinking the same thing, it seems as though on turbo cars after 30000 miles they gain speed. This is common among other platforms as well.
Yeah I'm kind of surprised car reviewers don't know this. It's been a thing since the beginning of the car.
By that time there will be no type r with oem tune and probably a new model already😂
I was waiting for this video so much!!! Thanks!!!!
This was a great comparison! Interesting how the older one pulls on a roll. The Manual R did well and that was nice to see.
They are both Manuals
The focus RS is still my favorite car. Wish they’d bring it back fr
FL5 has a 3.842 final drive vs 4.111 in FK8 - so I think that would explain why it's slower.
Great review!
Great point. I'd be curious if there is any wheel weight too. Optional lighter option on honda's website(5.29 lbs lighter than stock) automobiles.honda.com/-/media/Honda-Automobiles/Vehicles/2023/Civic-Type-R/BAP-Modals/BAP-Modals/02-Wheels/MY23-Civic-Type-R-BAP-modal-Alloy-Wheel-1x.jpg
meanwhile my 22 WRX has 4.44 lol. It loves gas
Slower stock but it's going to be way faster with big turbo and FBO for the same reason.
I think the diff easily boils down to the new R having 19s/Pilot Sports vs the FK8 with 20s/Contis.
@@wesgreen2812 2022 Impreza WRX is slower than 2005 WRX.
You guys make me smile every time I watch your videos.

THANK YOU for an actual legit proper comparison with the correct contenders in this category.
Excellent, excellent, excellent video. I love how you guys create content about the sort of scenarios and comparisons that talk about with my mates in the pub. If the GR Corolla were there, it would have been 100% perfect.
Ngl this type r is looking good. Not ready for the dealership markups though.
thought about getting into one after selling my current car but dealer mark ups around me are $10k lol ridiculous
This is the most interesting car segment in the auto industry. Fast, fun practical cars and best of all, they are not most boring SUV's. Great review as always!!
The best part of these videos is no matter what happens, everyone wins - all of these cars are amazing and you can't really go wrong with them. Great stuff TH team.
Sounds like something a Focus RS owner would say
@@NormEatsRice I drive an RS3…lol. Focus RS is pretty sick though

You two are awesome. Love your channel!
I was laughing my ass off when the FK8 was pulling on the FL5... lets go 10th gen!!!😂😂😂
@X XL Nahhhh just admit the fk8 is faster in a straight line🤣
@X XL Track times are correct in this video! The fl5 won on the track! That straight line race proved you wrong though didn’t it? Keep being a dumba$$🤪

I follow basically every big car UA-camr and as of this moment you guys are crushing everyone!🎉🎉 You guys give me major Topgear torch carrying vibes!!
Better than top gear in everyway, fam. Rose tinted glasses is a helluva thing
They could easily have their own show on a network. Yes they play with stupid high ends cars that the people who can afford them probably don’t have the time to watch the show, I’m pretty confident in that lol but they are so good about testing and reviewing your modern day cars or that $30k-$50k sports car where is the typical range people are shopping for the best car for the value
My dude you just reminded me of the shift knob on my 1997 Cobra. I work in Mojave CA and in the summer, it can get 110-120f my shift knob would be so hot I couldn't touch it for more than a second. Thanx for the memories.
Great video boys. Always a pleasure to watch and good for a laugh 😂 I’d take the CTR but as you say, all great cars.
What an absolute treat! I recently hooked up with your channel and was binging the drag races. I watched Type R vs Corolla 23 vs Elantra N yesterday and was dying to watch the 2023 Type R although I liked the old Type R. I'm pretty glad that the old one could beat the newer one in both the drag and roll race.
LOVE the new direction for the intro, feels even more like old top gear
these guys crack me up. Subcribed!
The fl5's wing has more than 3x the downforce of the fk8's, excited to see more of it on a larger track. anyways, thanks for always making amazing vids guys, always entertaining.
These videos always fall in the "wholesome" category for me. Great stuff guys!

Thank you so much for bringing back the Focus RS, you have grown so much since then and I’m so happy to see it up against the new competition. Might be from 2016 but still throws punches in its segment.
Now sad that it couldn’t make hot laps 😔
Ditto and ditto
I actually love the Type R FL5 in so many ways. It's a beautiful car. Great video.
The old Type R WALKS the 2023 Civic Type R. It has to be under rated. No way its 9hp less lol.
It's a final drive gearing change they did starting 2020 Si it lauches better but in a straight line like any heavier gearing it's slower.
Could be since it was a press car and the japanese are known for funny business with press cars. Civic type R is doing 4.9-5.3 compared to the 4.4-4.7 of the first press cars.
The previous type R looks better than the new one IMO.
@@inthebagsolutions yeah, i agree
TH knocks it out the park every week 🔥
Awesome show. My only input is I wish you guys put up the speeds for each car in the drag races. Just nice to see being a car fan
I can't wait to see the GR Corolla have another go around the track in the dry, and if they can get their hands on the track spec Morizo edition too.
The type R seats remind me of a cloth version of the S2k Seats and those were really amazing!
The content is fantastic as always. I just need to mention how wonderful the subtle digg at Verstappen was. Great timing lmao

Yup, that about puts the nail in the coffin for me on the new type R, no way on the $60k-$65k plus entry point, looking how it did vs previous gen. Insane
I know there's a lot of internet hate for the looks of the previous gen but I honestly don't mind it. I would go with the older style myself....if I was in the market lol. Once I pay off my Challenger I might look in to seeing what I can get for it and my hoopty Corolla and maybe combine to the 2 cars in to one with a Type-R. You're definitely right about the price though, ouch, that's a lot of money. Hopefully some of that is due to inflated prices at the moment because that's a bummer for sure.
