You inspired me to get a 2024 Si, I got exactly one month ago and have put 3700 miles on it since then. I love it so much and I don’t think it would’ve been possible to get a better car for me. Thank you for your videos, they really pushed me in the right direction.
The Honda dealership where I live in Canada just got in there only 2024 Type R that they got allocated. The salesman was suprised as I was that they even got one allocated to them when I called a few months ago and I put my name on it. so excited and lucky to get to own and drive one!
Just got my FL5 Type R in Rallye Red today, that moment when I finally sat in that car felt so unreal. Can't wait to give it a little test drive tomorrow. And honestly, I gotta thank you too, Topher, cause you helped my decision so much on getting a type R. Its also the first car I actually own, so it is even more special to me than it already is🥰 Keep it going my dude, your content is incredible and super down to earth, which I love most about it!
Just bought my type r last week. Dealer had 2 of them. Blue and a grey. Blue sold a few days before I got mine. Absolutely loving the car. Amazing purchase.
Growing up and living in SW PA is such a treat as a driver. Winding up and around the Appalachian foothills has always been one of my favorite things to do. I didnt know how good i had it until i did some traveling.
If you’re able to, hit-up the Four Roses distillery and grab anything of theirs that isn’t readily-available elsewhere. Great distillery, and a great glass to go with your favorite cigar or snack.
Just install module and first impressions are really good! Short drive only but car is much more compliant and cornering is magical. Thank again for the tip and review!!
Miss my fk8. Favorite memory was hitting the B-roads and running into a couple of 718s that I ended up carving with. Towards the end we ran into an RSQ8 that was absolutely sending it in the rain. What a great time.
@@theredsalmon612 the type r? Sold it when I bought a house to help pay for repairs and upgrades. The rsq8? Don’t know he didn’t stop at the restaurant just kept driving hard. lol
Just got home from picking up my 2024 Type R. Coming from a JCW Mini, this is quite a step up! Note: I’m way WAY out of the target demographic for this little rocket - “Who’s that old eff in the black R?”😂 (And yes, I ate some markup, but not bad. The law of supply and demand is still operative, at least in SoCal). Big big TY Topher; videos from people who really know how to drive are so helpful.
@@boots_n_coots Yes you are. Nobody buys a Type-R and doesn't street race it. Just pick your targets, some of these other cars will eat you up on the street and then you'll feel lame.
Yea I got smoked by a 5.0 in mine I wasn't surprised tho but in curves it kept up with the same car and srt392 ,BMW M6 and Lexus LCF sport mind you my car is still bone stock 6k mi 😊😊😊 btw in medium traffic none could keep up on the hwy if your a good driver you can just throw it threw dips the other cars are too big or would lose control if they tried the same thing
The dirty windshield isn't helping at all. Not to mention the glare from the winter sun angle. A cloudy day would be better. Love the scenery and the exhaust note :)
Can you elaborate on how the ITS damper module impacts the exhaust valve? Is it always open in the +R engine sound setting and always closed in the comfort sound setting and no longer throttle dependent? If so, that would push me over the edge to buying the module
I’m still waiting for my ITS to arrive and the thing that still makes me nervous is that it will be my first manual. Looking at all your FL5 videos, it makes me feel that having a FL5/ITS as a daily should be doable. Right?
Dailying a manual is what everyone did before the mid 90s. It's not an issue at all with a few months' experience, but there's a decent learning curve. A lot of people pick automatics because there's a bit less to worry about. I understand why people prefer automatics but if you LOVE driving like me, you will love and prefer manuals.
@@ShaiyanHossain my '17 86 has hill hold and i decided to learn without it. after a year of driving im nowhere close to mastering heeltoe but if i had auto revmatch id leavei t off too :D

Nice congrats, I've been waiting over a year for mine in Ontario. Hopefully by spring
overpriced scam, dealers always mark up the Type R $10K-$15K from MSRP
@@masonks81nope only $600 cdn on mine for some Honda things
Imagine paying 70k for a slow Honda
@@forouharfarokhtabar1340 There extremely easily tuned cars but I doubt you know much about cars anyways. 70k is crazy, near me is one for 51k.

How much did you pay?
@@Miami-GS*crickets LMAO
@@awnis001 Zzzzzzz 😂
What is was the out the door price
@@Miami-GS oh youtube doesn't notify me for replies, sorry about that...😅
Im paying 52k for it, I know it's a bit hefty but it is worth it to me.

the appalachians have some pretty slept on driving roads
That's the way I feel about living in Utah. I have world-class driving roads everywhere, and it feels bad when I don't use them.
SE PA got them awful potholes and Jersey drivers lol
Kentucky looks lovely this time of year. Great road too!

i just started my POV channel and I'm really impressed with how many subscribers you have. keep up the great content!!!!
Loving the POV CTR content - making it harder to wait until this spring to start my hunt.
Right?! Such a joy, and my hunt will start soon as well
Amazing 🤩 back roads. Love the type r videos especially on the backroads❤.
Beautiful scenes , beautiful car!!

Where did it go
@@theredsalmon612It went to live on a farm upstate
@@theredsalmon612 the type r? Sold it when I bought a house to help pay for repairs and upgrades. The rsq8? Don’t know he didn’t stop at the restaurant just kept driving hard. lol
I've had my CW Type R on that same stretch of road. Lots of good roads in western KY.
Those duke boys are at it again
I fell asleep watching this series who knew the sound of an engine would be so soothing
Maybe one day I'll have the money to buy one. Amazing car!
Invest on stock Market much better.
seems like a good choice for a younger driving enthusiast. it goes.

Just don't go race something like a 10 speed 5.0 or Audi RS3, you'll get totally dusted. Or a new MK8 Golf R.
Older people than me in awesome cars brings me such joy to see. Congrats. There is no age limit on enjoyment and fun. Much deserved

Love your videos Topher!!!
Question: which is more fun to drive? CTR or GR86?
Just a few more months and I'll be getting my FL5 type r
Awesome
Title: 2023 Honda Civic Type R - POV *Backroad* *Blast*
Me: *Pause*
Legitness👍🏾🤛🏾
2020 Si to 2023 type R, recommended? 🙃 I love my Si
Would recommend!
@@TheTopher I’ll look into it, thank you chill review dude Topher I’m thankful I found your channel
What would you consider a close 2nd place if it had to be auto? Elantra N DCT maybe?

I'm not sure exactly, I'll have to follow someone or have someone follow me and film it/sync it up with my video and see how it acts
@@TheTopher I too am intrigued by this comment and it would push me over the edge for the module and front resonator delete.
That looks like fun.
Good view
Hey Topher, I was wondering about the differences in gearbox and steering between ITS and CTR? since you've driven both
🤷♂️ they’re both great, it’s splitting hairs between the two tbh. Can’t tell if it’s the different shift knobs or actual differences in feel
quick question, does the civic si have rear ac vents?
No, it does not.
Makes me miss living in Kentucky.
More FL5 content pls!
I'm considering purchasing a lightly used one in my area that has about 5k miles on it for a great price. What are your thoughts?
Do it!
Hey Topher ive had my Si for almost a year now,do you think its worth to trade in for a type R? My local dealership doesnt mark up their prices
🔥
dam i want type r so bad trying to find one close to msrp
Do you still have the muffler delete going in this video or did you change your setup?
It’s the same setup as the Integra type s, front resonator delete 👍
@@TheTopher Okay, didn’t know if you kept the MRT mufflerless setup you posted a few months back.
You in ky?
What back road was that exactly?
It said Bardstown Rd near Louisville

A lot of people pick automatics because there's a bit less to worry about. I understand why people prefer automatics but if you LOVE driving like me, you will love and prefer manuals.
The rev match makes downshifting so easy and the clutch pickup is near perfect, it’s a good daily and you’re gonna love it!!
i drive my integra a spec manual in NYC traffic and its pretty easy. the rev match is great for downshifting but i turned that off lol.
It's got rev match downshifting and hill roll assist, heck it even has adaptive cruise control, you'll be fine
@@ShaiyanHossain my '17 86 has hill hold and i decided to learn without it. after a year of driving im nowhere close to mastering heeltoe but if i had auto revmatch id leavei t off too :D
The hype around the car went off a cliff after the type s came out and the ridiculous markups.
The hype never goes away
Does this car have the annoying 1st gear creep assist?
Better last generation
I bet an S2000 is much more fun on a backroad
chris go to the tail of the dragon and make lots of content
1 little bump and he’s going bye bye . 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
first one
That car sucks... He says front diff is magic 😂
Haha, unless you've driven one, you have no room to say anything like that
It sucks that you spew nonsense
I’d rather have a Golf R.
Go buy one
You will love the ’buttons’ 😂
Wish VW made something really as special as the CTR. It’s a pitty they sold out.
