2016 Honda Civic Type R Review 1 Year On - Inside Lane 

+Frazer Tait Glad you are happy with it!

Still got it ?

What do you drive now?…

+Bosse Grytbakk Thank you so much!

totatlly agree! one of the best reviews and great presenter

+Josh A I think the next car will be something special as it really has to take the fight to competitors.

+Jasonion74 We will be amongst the first to drive it in a few weeks.

We have also driven both. Each brilliant cars.

Lol thank you. I have ordered new type r in black, but I can swap it for white because both white and black will ship to my dealer at the same time start of august. What colour is best in your opinion ? ' It gets hareder for me because in the last minute they told me a red one is on its way from the factory and it will be in the dealer's shop in only 2 weeks. What do you reccon in your personal experience and opinion for best colour option ? Thank you in advance.

I looked and here in America it isn't available why is that is it one of those illigal civics or something?

+Daniel J Thank you! Glad you have lived the videos. Enjoy the Type R.

+Johnny Salvattore Absolutely! It is a great drivers car.

Agree with the reviewer - it is a rewarding car to drive. Huge smiles on my test drive and in the dry it just grips and grips - just the over firm suspension that ruined it for me sadly

+gvkleys RS is a fantastic car. I would expect more news by the end of this year.

Judo . You should have waited 😃

USDM has offered some of the worst and bland looking cars on the planet. Surely this is a breath of fresh air?

+T1MERUNN3R 414 Glad you liked it! Video of RS compared back to back with Type R coming on Friday.

+Inside Lane when will u track it against the F.F

+Stock Box Ford Focus? We cover some track stuff in the video coming up. Unfortunately we couldn't get them both at Silverstone so each a different track. We would love to stage a race... If the manufacturers would back one. *HINT HINT* Hard to get both cars running at the same time otherwise.

+Franck Martins Very nice indeed! Enjoy it!

Glad you liked it!

Except this one which has lost 20% of its value in the first year here in the UK.

That will change very quickly thanks to a short production life This car will become a rare thing indeed.

+Warren Blanch I have a hunch that these will become quite collectable in the future. Next gen Type R isn't a million miles away so not sure how long the life of this car will be.

+Inside Lane yeah give it 20years and the prize's will start to rocket back up.Limited edition car really. Not that many on the road.Think I have only seen four.

+James Cheevers (chopsyuk) Thanks! Are you following out Type R road trip video series? Episode 2 comes out tomorrow.

+Inside Lane ...I am now..thx !!

Focus is faster on paper. Type R feels faster when you drive it

+Honda lover Our verdict comes in a video this Friday. Stay tuned!

+Inside Lane Don't tell me the H. Tyre R lost.

+Honda lover Who cares.. its 1 persons opinion.. plus Ford will always be an inferior reliability car brand vs Honda.

Amun TOO well they're both really reliable car manufacturers so there isn't really a bad choice its all opinion but it is interesting what he thinks he would chose because he drove both

+Honda lover Since when is Ford reliable? I don't know any Mustang owners who drive there car past 100k miles.

+DKniller95 Thanks! Glad you liked the video. More on this car and RS coming later this week.

+kram namwen Seat is pretty good. Very quick car indeed.

Yes, I gather it' more fun than the golf.

+Franck Martins Awesome. What colour?

Totally agree frs3 is so ugly. I got 3 fords and willing to buy the frs3 but it came out so ugly! So guess what I did - Ordered civic type r 2016 in black, it will ship to start of august. Can't wait. What colour is yours type r, Franck Martins ?

I quite like the CTR but to call the FRS Mk3 ugly is a bit hypocritical don't you think? The CTR has Giant grilles that aren't all functional, the unpainted door handles and side sills let it down and as for those chav looking red stripes on the wheels NO Honda just no. That, the annoying beeping from the on board radar on the GT and the bone hard ride on back roads in the UK ruined for me what was otherwise an awesome car. Loved the engine (maybe not exhaust note).

some things you said are right and I agree, but you must agree the MK3 RS has a couple of problems as well. 1600kg is the main one Also not so race car feel driving it or race car cockpit as the FK2 It's like they tuned up regular focus and added 300kgs 4x4 200hp and some better suspension thats it. Where the CTR is built to be a race car for the road. I own one, and trust me I had 3 fords and this is my first Honda and I was big Ford fan and owner, so yes - the CTR is like nothing else. Yes the outlook is not for everyone, but it's much much more special than the RS. Also in my country (and many others) the RS is more expensive and has much less extras included in the package and when you choose the extras which the CTR GT has, in my country (and many others) the RS is more then 5000EUR more expensive than the GT which is insane. Also uses more fuel than the 2.0 vtec turbo. Has 280L boot where I have 500! I have full automatic low and high beams where the low beams are LED, the RS has praistoric Xenons. Also the RS has worse leg room in the back and no magic seats folding the back seats up (on the CTR) and no flat floor when fold them down. Also 1350kg against 1600kg I'm sorry, but no.

Also stock is 235 35 19 just fit 245 or 255 on the CTR and the ride gets better. If I wanted comfort I would buy CR-V or Ford EDGE, if you see where I'm going. Best regards.

+Alek Tepsic Unfortunately this car is not coming to the US, but here in the UK it costs exactly the same as the Focus RS.

+bzjoe1bb It's one way to get one of your 5 a day I suppose ;)

+Tim Beals That isn't what I said. Some of its competitors are heavier cars in general.

do you think it is as ugly as the golf r/gti? which in my opinion has the flair of a corolla or i30.
