    Brilliant review! I've had mine for about a month now, certainly one of the best cars I've ever owned

    Excellent review. It’s also nice to see that you took the time to explain how all the vents work. That should shut up the haters who seem to think they’re fake, lol. I’ve got a black fk8 and absolutely love it.

    Good review having just watched your FL5 one. Had my fk8 for over 3 years now and i absolutely love it, such an awesome machine and indont get anyone wanting to race lol. Prob due to staying away from town centres and built up areas.
    Got mine mapped to 400bhp and with added exhaust, intake and short shifter it really does transform the car and driving experience.

    I daily exactly the same vehicle. The amount of stupid attention makes you tired. Everything wants to race you.

    • @BuckleUpShow
      @BuckleUpShow  3 роки тому +2

      I can imagine it does get tiring after a while. Still an outstanding car though!

      Well the new 2023 civic is more subtle so maybe that won't get so many 100/200bhp cars want to race you.. as well as all the big boys to.. Im just thinking about what colour to get

    theres vents between the splitter and bottom of the front bumper that also feed into the wheel well

  • @supafance92
    @supafance92 2 роки тому +2

    The vent isn't for cooling it's for aerodynamics mostly and the air is actually piped into the wheel wells

    • @BuckleUpShow
      @BuckleUpShow  2 роки тому +1

      I’m not sure which of the many vents you are referring to, but I did do extensive research on the car before filming the review and made careful note of the function of each vent. Apologies if I made any mistakes.

    Dose this car have rear back seat cup holders? The American ones do? If it doesn't do you know if you can fit them?

    The ultimate daily isn’t a CTR lol. More like AMG, M5, etc...

      The amg and m5 is unreliable crap that will fall apart after 3-5 years costing you thousands regularly, a perfect daily has to be reliable.
