      I can't afford the CTR or ITS but I did the same thing on my Integra. I wanted a Civic Hatchback, but Honda dealers were trying to rip me off with "dealer installed" options that I didn't want. The Civic I wanted stickered for $33k and by the time the Honda dealer added on $5000 of crap and nearly $1000 "doc fee", it was the same price that I could get an Integra A-Spec Tech. I'm not paying Acura money for a Honda.

    Well, it's not the best choice if you drive in the snow and wet climate of the PNW. The GR Corolla with AWD will out perform it easily in much of the weather we deal with. I test drove one but it wasn't as fun to drive for me. It also felt really big, too big. I'm not sure why cars keep getting bigger. And that red carpet and seats? After just a short time it looks pretty bad in cars I've seen. And I wish people would stop saying it's a hatchback, it's not, it's a lift back with then angle of the rear opening.

    This is an amazing car and showcase the engineering company that Honda has been with Mr Honda philosophy defeating many odds. I don't understand many reviewers on Honda products as they don't seem to understand the philosophy and why things like loud sounds from exhaust, engine turned down to have reliability rather than like some manufacturers cranking up and unrealistic and unreliable, also built quality in comparison to even luxury brands exceed them. Another is why Honda type R and type S are so expensive, first is type R made in Japan with higher standards, and shipping as well as what governments and Elites did with covid, another especially for type S is America's standards are lower and cost much more due to everyone wants to get rich and unions costs unlike Japan employees have more of a passion for their jobs. No reviewers talk about these things when they review and most people don't think for themselves only listen to regurgitating garbage(like stuck on Honda volume nob....bunch of nobs).

    "Tourque steer, that we are not complaining about"... This is the phrase which could only come from reviewers who rely on the advertising of the vehicles for which they review. Pull out your big boy pants and honestly tell everyone how annoying it is to drive a front wheel drive vehicle with lots of power and how limiting it is trying to apply that power in corners or for hard take offs. Be honest and say that until Honda makes another S2000 or NSX sports car, they are solely transportation.

    It’s the hottest hatch you cannot buy at MSRP or below! Let alone the high insurance rates on it… They would also sell a whole lot more if they offered an automatic. It would outsell the manual by a large margin.

    • @justinhale2160
      @justinhale2160 Рік тому

      Less then 3k came to the US for 2023. Not enough to go around at msrp. Expect 7500-10k total for the entire production run. You want an automatic buy a different car or a 10 speed accord with a 2.0. This is the best shifting feel in the business. They will not make it auto because it's an enthusist car.

    Weighs less, has more HP and Tq than the BMW 330i video from a few months ago but the Type R still manages to have worse stopping power and acceleration than the BMW. And they cost the same! The Civic Type R is just a mark up hype machine. When you cut through the fan boy hype it is just a $43k car. Why people drool for a souped up civic makes no sense. With mark up the Civic Type R competes with much much faster and better cars.
