Is it just me or there are other ppl think that black actually suits the type r better than the champion white? It looks so aggressive and elegant in black
I’ve owned a Galaxy Black and a Boost Blue CTR FK8. Black definitely hid/blended in the fake vent panels front and rear making it very menacing. The Boost Blue was almost glowing and helped to highlight the functional side,hood vents as well. I love both FK8 and widened FL5 designs. For MSRP prices they can be worth it but you can spend 12-15k on lightweight wheels,FBO parts,tuning and labor to make it a lot more powerful etc. but pushing it into that price range…there are better factory tuned hot rods or even used hot rods like the GTR etc.
Black looks so good when it's kept clean and in good condition. Personally, I would never own a black car again, unless you love detailing your car. Hard to keep clean, and any sort of damage is instantly noticeable.
One, hell yeah to more Aussies doing car reviews! Two, great car and touched on some nice points, didn’t know it had hill start assist, does that mean you can hold the clutch and release the brake and it stays put? Three, nice to know the seats are good for the tall boys, how about the foot well? Was it cramped? Four, great job and keep it up 👍
Hi Chris. Yes the brake hold allows you take your foot off the brake and hold the clutch without moving. Sort of like Launch Control (it has proper Launch Control too). Foot well space was fine! Just not great for back seat passengers when there is a tall driver. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
Yeah they have bettered the i30N interior now, but when you think about it the i30 platform is like 6 years old now. And the Civic is about £15,000 more expensive
I think the i30 is overdue for an update, but they are still selling loads of them so I suppose there’s no rush. But yes the Civic is expensive by comparison. Thanks for watching.
It's awesome, until I saw the more awesome Independence Class LCS in the background and realized this video is filmed during the commissioning ceremony of the first US warship commissioned overseas.
@@4wheelsandaseat Being an American veteran residing in Australia, seeing a black Type R with a LCS in the background made me rate this review as the best Type R review I've ever seen on youtube lol
Haha. I like the cackle when I’m driving it, but I hate it when I hear it from other cars… The Civic really is a much better car to drive, but you do pay extra. Thanks for watching!
@4wheelsandaseat the Type R is an exciting car and you were driving it like an old lady. You don't have the charisma to have a successful UA-cam channel. And yes, I am rude.
Depends what you're after. The Type R is a proper track machine and the Beemer is a bit more refined and easier to live with as a daily driver. The Civic is also about $5000 cheaper and the interior tech is not as good as the BMW.
Chose the i30 Sedan N over this. More room in the back, has a sunroof, nicer wheels, better looking, quicker 0-100, 8 speed dct, track warranty, cheaper, better exhaust sound
Fair call on all of those points. To me the Honda feels a bit more lux than the Hyundai and a little easier to live with as a daily driver, but it really depends on what you’re looking for. Thanks for watching!
An i30 is no type R, no where near the same fit and finish or even comes close to the feeling of managing your revs and power through the gearbox, not even close…..
@@OzSaints66 They’re both great cars. FL5 has nice interior materials. That said the Sedan N has Leather electric heated and cooled seats, a much better rear camera that you can leave on and better display graphics, heated steering and infotainment that neatly blends into the dash. Very happy with the fit/finish and the Sedan N has a better ride quality on roads with large bumps

It does look really good black. It’s a pretty clean design so it doesn’t hide the lines too much. Thanks for watching!

Yeah it looks good in black. Fl5 and fk8 both look really good in black.
I went with black as well

Fantastic review, this will be my mid life crises car, well done, new subscriber, now pouring through your previous videos ✌️
Thank you so much! Got a couple of M BMW cars on the way in the coming weeks that won’t help your (or my) mid life crisis blues!
Just discovered this channel, great professional content!
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much for watching.
"Alcantara scrotum" I like it!

Well spotted! Yes it did make for an interesting backdrop while I was shooting. Thanks for watching!

Good review & good video!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Whats the stereo like? I dont believe the Aussie variant has the Bose speakers the international cars do
For memory it was pretty good!
I have the same color i love it 😎
No spare tyre how optimistic
Dope Shoes 🏀 Dope Car 🚘.
Saw them and I had to have them. Mid life crisis in full swing! Thanks for watching.
So glad the Civics don't crackle. I hate that so much about the Hyundai NS. Always sounds like diarrhea.
Haha. I like the cackle when I’m driving it, but I hate it when I hear it from other cars… The Civic really is a much better car to drive, but you do pay extra. Thanks for watching!
@@4wheelsandaseat I own a 2019 FK8 Type R with some mods. My HKS exhaust isn't super loud or crackles but it sounds amazing
Does this channel normally review mobility scooters?
Rude
@4wheelsandaseat the Type R is an exciting car and you were driving it like an old lady. You don't have the charisma to have a successful UA-cam channel. And yes, I am rude.
But funny 🤪
This or the 2023 BMW 230 Msport package?

If you don't add PPF, and hand-wash this car Black is going to show a ton of swirls, and streaks in the paint.
I used to own a black car and the pain is real!
I have a white one now, and I'm trying to make sure the swirls don't build up.@@4wheelsandaseat
Black kinda rare on this car not sure why you swapping for some championship white footage here and there hahah.
Being a (mostly) one man band I rely on footage supplied by Honda. The white car footage was the only one they had. Thanks for watching!
This looks more like a normal car than a hatch..
It's coupé shape does make it look a bit more sedan like and that's true of around 90% of hatchbacks these days. It's a trend... Thanks for watching!
Can you still purchase these?
You can but you might have to wait a while!
It's called a gator and the spoiler is called a wing.
Thank you!

i think CTR just has this timeless look, I dunno if i30 is better looking

lol. Scrotum? It’s a shift boot
Out standing car for $57k, I’m not sure about it.
Blk one or bust
Rude and ignorant
the red seats are atrocious… just black leather would be prime
Yeah they're pretty loud. I think they suit the car, but black leather would look good too. Thanks for watching.
overpriced FWD crap
Overpriced - maybe. FWD - yes. Crap - don’t agree on that one. It’s really good.
@@4wheelsandaseat no way fwd can never be good
Deep…wow, just deep…😂
Yet but another joke city car with no spare wheel 👎
