One of the finest car reviewers on UA-cam. Immersive, funny, educational, and most importantly, impartial and honest.
"Let it sound the way it's naturally supposed to" 👏
Honestly I blame the enthusiasts for this one. I've been watching Type R reviews for years because I want to get one someday. The number one complaint I've seen in dozens of reviews was the sound or lack thereof. It was obviously consistently bad enough PR that they tried adding this feature.
@@arcwelder6010 I agree, I will own a Type R once this issue is fixed.
It doesn't sound my 2012 Corolla sounds better 🤣
@@arcwelder6010 Honda shouldn't have made it rev low and be mute a Type-R is supposed to rev high and scream
@@louierattatouie Honda went to the darkside and betrayed their dedicated customers by turboing the Type-R and likely never will go back to high revving screaming beautiful engines
Luv your 2021 Honda "R" review! I'm 68 years old and When I drive it I feel like I'm 18 again! I own a 2020 "R" cosmic grey pearl. Awesome flashbacks! Luv Ya, RJP
I really like that Honda made their Type R to be all manual transmission; the only disadvantage is the electronic parking brake. Bring back that lever !
I fully applaud Honda for offering only a manual trans.
Same with the Subaru WRX STi
Yeah but it sucks for someone like me, I'm disabled now so I'd need hand controls😪
Save the Manuals!
100% agree 👍
All civic si or type r is sport model that comes only in manual.
I enjoyed this review both accurate and comedic content, subscribed, glad I found you
I love your sense of humor. Had me cracking up the whole time.
I must say this is the best Type R review I have seen done. I really enjoyed the review and other reviewers should take note. Thanks.
Needs a sound generator delete
On the 2020 Type R, it's behind the glove box. Some removal of parts to access it. Then you just unplug it
You just have to unplug the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) module. I have a 2018 Accord that has the same fake engine sounds. I disconnected the ANC because I added a subwoofer and some upgraded speakers, and the ANC will have a hissyfit with an aftermarket sub. Fringe bonus: no more fake engine sounds. And the cabin doesn't seem any noisier to me without the ANC than it was with it.
No, it needs selectable sounds. Like a mosquito noise, or an elephant stampede, or a tea kettle.
@@FFE-js2zp Mosquito noise, I like your thinking. Add in Wasp/Bee and you're onto a winner my friend.
I know a couple ppl that have these and everyone deletes the fake noise also coming fron the ST community we all delete the sound symposer as well
My type R makes me happy every day. Glad you got to finally review one.
Omg I’ve been waiting for this moment my entire life.
"This isn't Total Recall"... Love that movie.
I’m so happy you finally reviewed the Type R! I love my 2017 Type R.
I got my 2018 last weekend- amazing car!
@@funkymofo, you’re in for a treat. Congrats!
I enjoy the look of anticipation before every braking test....
And facial expressions during the test :)
Hatch a penquin..... lmao. I agree fake sound generator is just stupid!
And her hair after the brake test.
"This car makes my heart happy". From an owner of a Type R I think the same every time I drive mine, you should get one Sarah. Most practical super car ever made.
@Dale Macarena ➊ I bought it outright. There’s no need to pay interest on an affordable car.
I absolutely laughed out "extra" loud watching this! Love your style, and delivery, please keep this magic going!!
This car looks awesome. More power than my RSX-S had. Its nice to see Honda cramming more power in
Yay! Finally! Loved the Total Recall humor. XD
"Hot hatches are more fun than super cars" - I can vouch for that.
You've obviosly never driven one then ; )
@@ChrisS-nj3ye i’d rather have a 300hp driver’s car than a 700hp lambo with no type of fun features to it other than being fast
Jeremy Clarkson thinks so too.
Hey Sarah, I found your channel about a month or so through various car enthusiast/maintenance videos. Been watching your videos here and there, I'll let youtube take me on a journey a lot, and I quite enjoy the vlogs you do. It is just really nice to see your approach to projects and things and love your quality of work.
This is just the second car review I encountered from you... gotta say, this is top tier stuff right here. There are 0 seconds that are boring, its super informative, and covers just about every thing I feel you need to know while leaving out the riff raff. Awesome job, I really do think these are some of the best reviews across all platforms. So much is accomplished without drone footage and mounting 80 go pros; its insane that you can convey answers to questions on how the car performs with just a camera aimed at your face. I'm not even remotely car hunting right now nor will I be for quite some time, yet I am still looking forward to checking out some more of these as well as all your content. Thanks for all that you do! Love the content.
Sarah, I'm so glad you finally got to review one of these cars. I totally agree with you, that hot hatches are super fun to drive. As the owner of a 2018 Focus RS, I've been waiting to see what you thought of the Type R, as the RS is one of its main competitors. One of my neighbors has a Type R and put an aftermarket exhaust on it and it sounds a ton better. Great review, as always. Keep 'em coming.
Seeing you with a happy heart makes my heart happy.
"Not Total Recall" hahaha
Extra points for the total recall reference. Your content never disappoints.
Your appreciation for the car working it’s ass off to satisfy you while giving it the beans, is dope. That’s what makes us gear heads.
"This isn't Total Reacall!" lol
Also, EDM FTW!!
"this isn't total recall" lol yup that's it your definitely my favorite abandoned warehouse Sarah! You should drive my Honda one of these days, it will surprise.
First review of yours that I watched and I really
Liked it. Keep up the great work.
Love the way you shift this car ! you drive like a champ Sarah
I've been waiting for you to do this car 😁
I've watched dozens of videos about the Civic Type R, but this is the FIRST one that convinces me to go and test drive one at the dealer. Your sense of detail (the way you explain the shifter, the engine specs, the body), your subjective inputs ("This car makes my heart happy") just says it all and more. Thank you!
They will not let u test drive a Type R lol
Thanks for the car details. Been around several Civics, have not seen this one up close. Thanks again.
I am watching your channel absolutely mesmerized. You are an absolute keeper - talking with car and life experience. Thank you for your videos.
I've been enjoying my Type R since 2018. It reliably took me through Europe on many occasions.
The 20" wheels are a little too much, but are really food in the summer.
The 2020 Type R Sport Line has 245/35 19" wheels, which in my opinion are the better choice. But the small spoiler doesn't fit the car at all.
$40k isn't that bad of a deal, considering, that at the end of the 90's, you would pay just as much for a Porsche GT3 with about the same power but way less practicality.
And it's a Honda, so you know it is reliable for many years to come.
"Let's talk about bolstering." *wiggles* *wiggles* *wiggles* :D
You have made car reviews so FUN! thanks
LIKED before even watching this. Sarah, you are a PURE JOY. Lotsa love from Down Under!
I own a red 2019 and have been waiting for you to do a video on one of these! Woo hoo
There was a company at SEMA in 2019 that made a rear electric drive that made it even quicker and to act like an AWD car.
Fastest way to go out of business is sticking great engineering under an ugly body
@@mikeb3172 if that were true, Subaru would have been out of business ages ago. Instead, they are thriving (2014 Outback owner) because we've grown to love the ugly/weirdness because of what's under it.
@@mikeb3172 bus taker detected
Sarah, you are intelligent, funny and your review is more fun than any other I've seen so far. You rock!
Thanks for taking my mind off of stressful things sarah!
Glad to see you finally review a Type R. I've loved my 2019 since I got it, also in Championship White.
Awesome I had Red one 2017 😍😍😍
Its championship white get it right buddy
@@ebxboston392 my phone autocorrected it. No need to be an asshole when replying.
Hahah Total Recall, nice one Sarah! ;)
saw your review for the first time today, and i really liked what i saw .. the review is both entertaining and informative. a job well done ms.
Holy crap you are friggin hilarious. With a P. I think I mostly watch your videos for your personality, cause you're really funny, but you're well informed too, thanks.
Great breakdown!
I found your rating system to be confusing since it sounded like the number of beans & cookies directly contrasted with what you were saying, but your attention to detail and humor made the whole rating situation a non-issue anyway. Thanks so much for the awesome review!
As far as your symmetry comment goes, don't sell yourself short, you've got it. 👍
thats what i meant
I've seen several women with lop sided milkers so it can happen!
Science says that a bit of asymmetry is actually preferred where humans are concerned. It makes a person look fake if they don’t have it.
@@PetrolJunkie no one fake here
I know my ballz aren't symmetrical.
Love the video, love all your videos actually! I have been wanting this car for so long, hard to get your hands on one from what I have found out... so I continue to wait.
My 2017 Type R makes my heart happy whenever I sit in it too! I think the universe is calling to you: buy one...
Your deadpan deliveries get me rolling every time. Thank you for the much needed comic relief! ML -Fig
Lmao omg!! Three tips with a "P" not like Total Recall 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been waiting for this one for a while.
The main reason I watch you over the other review "guys" is because you are hilarious! Ty for your unique sense of humor! It is appreciated.
The Total Recall reference had me crying with laughter. Love it!
I think we’re going to see a Type R parked outside your garage sooner rather than later 😉
@@leavingasap843 Nice, but isn’t the Spider just a re badged MX5 ?
@@superblackbirdrider Doug DeMuro has a video whose title explicitly states the opposite. Sounds like they drive pretty differently, which makes sense given the turbo and the weight difference.
I feel like a simp would literally gift that car to her lol
so lucky you get to already have this car to test, ive been waiting 4 months for honda to deliver my 2020 and now 2021 type r
You know I think you represent the car culture of tuners quite well...... you have passion and charisma that engulfs you and also the looks like Morticia.
Total Recall, I enjoyed that one
"I'm sitting on a penguin-I'm trying to hatch it."
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for reviewing the Type R. I have one in Championship White also that I ceramic coated (video is in my channel).
This is late, but from one vet to another thank you for your service.
LOL “This isn’t Total Recall” You are so funny Sarah!
" This isn't Total Recall"
👍
Indeed I giggled but that joke is going over so many heads lol
@@slipknotron1626 I tried hard to get it, but just don't get the reference from the movie. Then again, it has been a long time since I watched it. Is it something to do with Arnie's accent?
@@mikael4126 in the movie there is a woman that has three breasts and the type r has three exhaust tips.
@@slipknotron1626 Ahahaha I remember now! Thank you.
I think that lack of symmetry is a source of beauty, i keep telling myself
ahahahahahahahaha
Sarah this joke was epic :)
Your channel is gold. Thank you
These cars are frigging epic, probably the best hot hatch ever made, love your B-Roll clips 👌👍❤️
"This isn't Total Recall" best comment yet!
"This isnt Total Recall." 🤣🤣🤣 That's it. Im done.
My husband and I each have one. We drove them at VIR, Road Atlanta, Summit Point, etc. we did go to 265 wheels. Handles great and pulls out of a turn like nobody’s business. Nice review. Thanks. ❣️
Always enjoy your reviews!!
This is the most fun driving hot hatch, I love how Honda revised the suspension and the brakes!
"Baby, you make me wish I had 3 hands" 😂😂😂😂
I’d buy that for a dollar!
Freaking crying LMAO!!!!
Total Recall. Damn I'm feeling old for knowing this
@@Bkowp I'm 36, Schwarzenegger movies were my childhood :)
@@pray4mojo35 Robocop 1 !
Original and entertaining review! Great work, many reviewers could learn from you!
Ive had my white type r for about 10 months now, and i absolutely love it! On track to have 25k miles on it in my first year if ownership😂
Surprised the bean score is so low, I was expecting it would well into the 3's. I've always thought those fake engine sound generators should be customizable, including an off setting. I was definitely expecting more sound from the actual exhaust. Fun review as always!
"Fruit and robot compatibility" I had to compute that statement for a minute, then I died laughing xD
Hi Sarah. In Germany the Type R has 320 Hp, and it's the fastest Front Wheel Drive Car on the Nürburgring 😎❤️
Looks like fun, makes me miss my tuned-up Mazdaspeed3 even more. Thanks for the entertaining review and your outfit is kick-ass!!!
If anything ever replaces my Evo X, a 5 year old one of these might be it.
Keep the evo , get a used 8th gen si and boost it . Best honda motor ever made . better than the new ctr engine . K20z3 . Ariel atom uses it , caterham also took it
@@ganjaspeeder1144 who am I kidding? Nothing can replace my Evo. I’ll drive it into the ground.
@@ganjaspeeder1144 i got a k20a2 and it’s super fun but i just got tired of having an old car so i bought a type r😔i still have my rsx tho
Keep your Evo. That's a living legend. And they ain't making any more of them.
@@lukeskywalker1840 you’re right. Nothing on four wheels makes me feel like that thing does.
Sarah if you want to review my tuned FBO Type R let me know, I live about and hour and half away. Thankfully you can use an 18x9.5 +45 wheel without reintroducing torque steer.
Total recall throwback NICE!
Thanks for this review! Love the car!
I picked one up last night. 6 miles on it. I’ve been looking at them for a couple years. Your review helped nudge me even more. They hold their value like crazy
Off to go clear bra it
“Hot hatches are more fun than supercars. Period.” ABSO-FRICKIN-LUTELY! We need more fun driver’s cars at the affordable end of the market! Make it less about numbers and more about the experience behind the wheel!
Damn right!
Get real. It's not about numbers, it's about lighting the tires on fire flooring it at 100 mph.
...this was asked of the auto manufacturers before and the BRZ/FRS/GT86 was the result. critics used to rant and rave about it. now all anyone can do is complain about the lack of power. out comes cars like the MOPAR Demon and STI S209... people complained about the price for "just a Challenger/ WRX". the market needs a universal chassis that is fully customizable from the ground up and tailored per customer, for instance, if they want a performance build or eco build. kind of like a build-a-bear. hahaha
@@anotherstar8125 Interesting idea...I like it! Only thing is I can’t imagine how expensive that would be to develop. Not to mention difficult to engineer to accommodate such a wide breadth of performance
Im from EU and can agree on that with my Ford Focus ST MK2 2006 350hp 5 cyl turbo omg that car, sad that usa didnt get it
Lucky Penguin. Great review as always.
Love your sense of humor 👍
Really beautifully styled car, but I would probably guess it would have a pretty harsh ride because of those low profile tires. Would have loved to see a 2 door version of the Civic R
Your great 👍 at manual stick shift Sarah
Awesome and informative review g!!!!!!
Looking great Sarah. Well done review.
Sarah: The stereo's more tailored to EDM music!
Me: OOOOOOH CRANK UP THAT EUROBEAT
Tip with a P, and that bolstering dance. You're the good kind of special.
Loved the 'Total Recall' reference. Subscribed. :)
Love your reviews!
I want one but the styling of the new Civic's sure is something. I wish they would take the "styling" down a couple notches just from 11 to 9.

Look at the civic type R sport line it’s literally what we want
Wait for the next gen. If the leaked shots are accurate. It should look alot tamer then this.
Seriously looked at one in a showroom for a while trying to figure out a way to de-rice the thing.
Took home an Accord Sport 2.0t instead.
@@tydish it’s not going to look tamer it’s the civic type R only in Europe do the offer the sport line
Another excellent job by one of the sharpest, funniest, and classiest car vloggers around.
Mostly spot on. I think you might like my '18 CTR better. No fake noise, cleaner look, less nannies. And more attainable versus the marked up new models.
Value is there for those who know. Honda sells every Type R they make. Usually at over MSRP. Resale is spectacular. The market gets it. You get it. Don't be so quick to sell your fellow enthusiasts short. For a car that does so much so well, yeah it's worth it. I had a fantastic '17 SI and still stepped up to get the '18 Type R last year. Enough said.
A mate of mine here in Australia has one & its a hoot Sarah.😈😎👍🏼 Thanks for making me smile😀
I still drive a 93 Honda Prelude SR that I bought new. I love front wheel drive. Still have original shocks ,break pads and windshield with 275000 kms on it. Honda is the best.
Got the ASMR going on in this review 😋😋😋😋
I never wanted to be a toy penguin so bad in my life!
Ny thoughts exactly... lol!
Best honest, funny, modern review ever...
I really enjoy watching your head bouncing around instead looking at road.
