I got the '18 brand new from the dealer since it was too good of a deal to pass up since the dealer knew it would be hard to sell a manual version of the car in Cosmic Blue (it looks purple-ish at sunset). Alex was keeping the mods pretty general, but for anyone with a manual you should get an ACUITY Shifter Rocker. It makes the horizontal shifter movements shorter making your shifts sportier and faster as well. Other than that I was happy with the car with just putting Borla catback exhaust, intake, and then tuning it. That combo will keep up with any S3 or S4 easily on the road and no one will ever complain about having to sit in the back seat. It is a really good just do it all car and i has Honda reliability so you can go get a second car to hoon in.
I almost traded in my 2019 2.0t 6speed sport a few months ago and honestly I am glad that prices are insane and I rethought it completely. A CR-V wouldn't begin to compare.
Truth, I bought a '19 2.0t sport w 10spd auto, I love it every day! I might mod it one day, but stock it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. It wants to GO!
Can agree just bought one and man that thing just pulls and keeps shifting gonna test it without traction control on soon see if it doesn't spin as much

Yes, I agree! My 2018 sport 2.0t is amazing! I always think of trading it in but interest rates for loans are so high these days unfortunately. I upgraded my tires to 255/35/ZR 19 ultra high-performance all season tires… Continental extreme contact DWS06+ tires. Love them. They hook up when it’s raining, They look good, excellent grip, and they look aggressive! 😊

1. Exhausts are a waste of money on these cars and add virtually zero power. If anything, do an exhaust delete to get a deeper exhaust note with absolutely zero drone. 2. 20" wheels are great if you want to make your car slower. If you want to go quicker, a light pair of 18" wheels is your best bet, like a set of RPF1's. 3. Don't avoid the 2018 model year. There were issues with the 1.5's, NOT the 2.0's. Anyone who tells you to avoid the 2018's doesn't necessarily know what they're talking about. 4. If you want a good CAI that will actually add a few extra HP at the wheel and give you some nice intake/turbo noises, the PRL is great, but the Mishimoto intake adds the exact same (small) amount of power (4-6whp) but has a removable carbon fiber 'lid' which you can remove in colder months to get a little extra woosh. Or if you don't drive much or never sit in traffic in warmer months, leave it off if it's not affecting your IAT's and you don't have to worry about heat-soak. 5. The 10 speed is a better transmission if you're adding a lot of power and, by a LARGE margin, is most likely the best automatic trans Honda has ever made. There are quite a few 10AT's with well over 400whp/tq and the auto trans can hold that much power with no issues (depending on how hard you drive it) but the manual won't last nearly as long/handle that much power.
couldnt have said it better bro. i sold my old 2019 10speed 2.0 for a profit and im repurchasing one again and planning on doing literally what u said LMFAO the zero drone

@martiniworks - the site filters are a little buggy. Looking up my car, it gets hung up on the trim category and won’t let me see parts for my car (‘19 accord). 😘
I’m late, but any answer you find is gonna contradict the next. Get you a trans cooler, focus on dropping as much weight as you can, turbo/throttle response, and get you a little bit of power in there. You genuinely should be okay. I think most people are completely overblowing the “inability” of the cvt.
@@Fecho00 from what I remember, yes. 245/40/19 I should’ve put lighter rims on the car due to them being pretty heavy wheels. But weight may have helped the car launch properly.
Manual is okay but it’s not faster then an automatic u can’t shift faster then the computer so the whole 2.0 manual Ooopooh app wat .. wat can u do wit the 1.5 tho .. the 2.0 is not much faster then the 1.5 I drove em both can’t u just swap out internals or something and be able to handle More boost
Tell that to those of us who've already had them for five years and started modding on day one, have almost 100k miles and zero issues with anything other than recalls. Try again.
Like we fuckin get it the 2.0 is great but way can u do with the 1.5 my friend sold me the 1.5 not telling me there even was a 2.0 or I would have gotten that
Somebody tell this dude to stop yelling. Sounds like he’s off his meds. And lowering a street sedan that much ruins the ride. Summer rubber will allow you to use more of that 252 hp. Adding 100 more is just high school bs.
Somehow I doubt you will care, but you pissed me off by being ageist and by not really having a clue about ALL the differences between the Civic and the Accord. Fine. Not my guy. Not my channel.
