This video was shot at the #GRIDLIFE Motorsports and Music Festival South from Road Atlanta! For more information about #GRIDLIFE events check out www.grid.life
The all new 2017 Honda Civic Type R is the fastest front-drive Honda ever, with a turbocharged 2.0L engine making 306 HP to the front wheels. It has a track-spec suspension, six-speed manual transmission, aerodynamic improvements, bucket seats, and trim pieces to help the Type R stand out from more pedestrian Civic's.
Test notes:
1) The heat had to be run on full blast during the entire duration of this video to prevent overheating
2) A full tank of fuel lasts 16 laps around Road Atlanta
3) Matt's fastest lap was a 1:45.3
4) In the introduction, Matt incorrectly referred to this car as a 2007; it's obviously supposed to be 2017.

Matt your ability to drive and talk at the same time without screwing either thing up still astounds me. I think you coined a new term today: "road mannerisms". Thanks for the great vid.

@SloanZurnToto 5 лет назад

First off Matt, great driving, I never knew you were such a competent driver. Great honest review. If I was a betting man, I'd bet that Matt secretly wishes he owned a Type R rather than his Focus RS. I owned an RS for about 1 year, and he is right on, the RS suspension beats the crap out of you every time you drive it, and that's the reason I got rid of it. I had an extensive test drive in the Type R and could not believe how comfortable the ride was, very compliant soaking up the bumps without beating the crap out of you and loosening your fillings. The Type R also turned in better and had better handling overall than the RS.

@ianbradley7215 5 лет назад

It's so good on the street. I popped to the supermarket this morning. I had the radio on, pootled along, super comfy in the default R. The clutch is light but has the right amount of feedback. The shift light will have you in 5th at about 40 miles an hour. It's just great. Then you want to track it and it's fast. The grip in corners embarrasses faster cars. It's stable but will rotate when you want. The brakes are great. It's a hot lap marvel. For the money it wrecks the competition. Cars like the RS3 have a gorgeous interior and way more power which will thrash the Type R on straights, but the Type R will gain back time in the corners. The lap times are far to close for this to be considered anything other than a triumph.

@Zaberdutton 5 лет назад

I still like it

@mark52111 5 лет назад

Sounds like a great upgrade compared to the Dodge. The Honda should last a lot longer and save you money on maintenance. And the type R will hold its value much much better than other Hondas. And, it will likely be the target of theft so might want to think about that as well. Consider an upgraded alarm and lojack.

You read a lot of your own bias into that rubbiebubble. J Smith made no mention of the driving characteristics. Now my comment is that no matter how nice it drives, a car has to appeal to me aesthetically also, and this one is just scary ugly imo. But I have no doubt it's a blast to drive. It seems to have nice balance in a world where everything is oversprung and wants to be an M car wannabe. Kudos Honda tech team, not so much style department.

MBisFrenchy I'm a service advisor for Cadillac. For our cars, we sale safeguard tire and wheel protection. They're the best so far... but really, I've done claims with other warranty companies and they cover, so no preference, really.

@StevenSVT 6 лет назад

Great review. Did the coolant temp get up there?

Did anybody else catch the continuity error? Great video, answers a lot of my questions.

10:58 - Except for the fact that the fastest time a Focus RS has managed around the Nurburgring is 8:06.29 and the Type R did it in 7:43.8 It's not "just about as fast", it's MUCH faster.

i would still put it on 19", 20 is just to big for a civic

@Ms.Fowlbwahhh 6 лет назад

FeelsBadMan Alot of hondas and acuras are starting to get 20's. The new accord gets them if you get the 2.0t.

@alemspreco 6 лет назад

i know, but i would still put it on 19" even Matt said it would be better on 18" but i think 19" would be a good balance between funktion and form

@robertsestito6821 6 лет назад

18's but I'd keep um clean.

@bestmillimeter1858 6 лет назад

6:10 solid description of the Type R handling characteristics. The back end gets very lively when hard braking and trail braking , but I think that liveliness is what allows it to change direction so quickly. Unlike most FWD cars the back end of this car can come out. It has more oversteer tendencies than my rwd 300zx did.
