    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 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).

    • @ralkia
      @ralkia Рік тому +3

      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.
