FAKE VTEC HURT MY EARS 😭 FL5 HONDA CIVIC TYPE R // Nürburgring 

It was a pleasure to take you for a lap Misha. For anyone wondering why the VSA light is on - we found Type R mode too stiff for enjoyable lapping on the day and I haven't yet learned the pedal dance to turn it off in Individual mode. 👍

The tiny civic in the dash having functional break lights is the coolest thing ever

IMPORTANT: this was shot BEFORE today's announcement that the car has gotten the FWD Nürburgring Lap Record! Will do an analysis video tomorrow :)

Ha, same day at the CIVIC Type R official record lap is released. This man knows his RU-vid game

Overall a pretty capable bit of kit. He drove that thing pretty damn well to be fair. Love the little animation of the car in the tach doing the braking and indicating. It's the little things.

That dude can drive. Good lap...🏁

That was an amazing drive... I'm no expert, but it seemed like he was hitting all the right points on the track and carrying speed really well through the corners. He can drive... for sure. ... and to top it off... it's a real car with a manual gear change.

As a Honda fan I am 100% agree with complaint about fake exhaust note, they should've done it switchable. But otherwise it's a beast, especially in that record-winning run

I had the pleasure of driving this car for some days and i really like it. The whole package looks good and tidy, the seats are nice, and everything looks and feels high quality, especially the steering wheel (it is amazing and i love it). The infotainment software is well structured / intuitive and the sound system is good. What's most important to me is the way it drives. Of course it's a sporty car and it feels quick / direct when you push it, but you can also drive it in a calm manner and it just goes with it very well. It doesn't feel like you have to hold back a race car at all. I would take this over a Golf gti anytime.

Guy drives very smooth. Nice lap.

Really good looking these and finally a nice interior. Just a shame about the price! I bought a 1yr old loaded EP3 Type R in 2005 for £13k and now they're £45k 🤯

Is it just me, or did Mishas eyes widen a bit at times? 😄 That guy certainly let it fly!

No wonder it broke the record. Rotation is so "natural" like none other. Thanks Misha!

Very smooth lap! That driver knows his car. I’m not for gimmicks but loved digital Civic’s functional brake lights. Lol

Not surprised it set a lap record, he was clearly an awesome driver but the front end on that car for a FWD with over 300bhp looked pretty mega.

Speaker sound... One of the worst things ever

Amazing how this car rotates for being FWD. Every corner you think it will understeer, it just grips.

I really like the design of the new type-r, looks clean 👌

I like the brake lights going on from the little car on the digital dash 🤪

Well driven mate - Similar to the last gen typeR it looks to handle great for a fwd car. Some of those corners it looks like the LSD was just pulling you out of them!

Very nice driving. Looks so smooth and almost calming yet fast as hell!

I liked the way this guy took a lot of corners it was very cool lap, loved it.

Mate, that looks proper sorted for a FWD

Markups on these are crazy in the US. Some dealers asking 20k over msrp. CRAZY

Props to the driver, that was a good lap.

That man can drive

The King Of FWD ! Such a good car and great driving skills

Glad to see the seats didn’t fall off

Yeayy new video and featuring the new FL5. ❤ Just got the new FWD record lap of the FL5 Type R recommended

Yea the Sound you can turn off in the settings ;)

That was smooth! Seeing the red Megane RS at the end, would be nice to see a lap in one of those!

The speaker sound is a problem a lot off new cars have 🤷🏻‍♂️ Still would love to do laps in one 😎

#TypeR new Nordschleifen Legend! 7:44,88 !!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍 #Honda Love! #JASMotorsport #HondaPerformanceDevelopment #SpoonSportsEurope

Bit of a negative headline for such an excellent car/drive,would a GTI with pads/tyres keep up?

He's very professional driver using every kerb every cm hearing the tyres scream on each corner best driving performance !

some good driving there. nice job. keep it going Misha such nice content.

Tyre squeaking noise, absolute Gran Turismo sound

7:44 official lap time FF lap record

The wifey's track car? :D Got to love it!

There is probably a way to turn off the special exhaust effects

This thing just got the record

You can unplug it. It’s located behind the glove compartment.

the flyby at the intro dude was flying low

What a stunning looking car, love this version! Full send!! ❤

7:55 lap, good

All that speed whitout over rev ,miss gear shift,power shift.I hope Micha yas taking note during the lap!

Misha we would love a detailed review of the FL5 or more of your opinions of the car!

I have no idea who you are but yer doin an amazin job driving! Very nice handling!

This civic reminds me the first accord type r because of the size

really good drives and very fast car

They just beat the time. Let’s go Honda!

Trackwife:D haha nice word creation

Capable car but that engine is soulless.

I Can't fkn wait to get mine, great vid.

It just saddens me that a few years ago i was looking at brand new fk8s for £31.5k here in Britain the FL5 is £50k...basically near M2 comp money. Maybe its because they are not made here anymore because the factory in Swindon closed but Honda have excelled in everything other than the price. Severely disappointed from that perspective. I don't believe that Sochiro Honda would not have wanted the CTR brand to be like this whereby its exclusive for the rich or a financed car that you can't modify for years.

Shame the pumped in engine sound is so bad, was thinking of getting it in the future instead of my current FK2 type R but if it's that bad irl even with a helmet it's going to be a real turn off for me😅

Lap was good but this litle car on dash is awsome never seeing this before 😜🤣💪🖖👍

the one thing i like about Hondas is that they make shifting so easy that even a super novice can jump in and shift without jolting everyone in the car. i never realized this until i drove a Suzuki Swift Sport and noticed that you really have to learn to shift well to drive it properly. very different from my old Honda!

Once you code out the pumped-in-noise the actual induction sound is way better

Honda just posted the record today , 7:44.881 !

Day after it breaks the record...perfect timing

Nice video once again. Don’t know, but during the video it multiple times looked like the car had some wheel hopping! Maybe the bushings or dampers are not capable for these tyres or so?

The speaker sound comes across like that on your GR86 videos. Love this latest type R though!

Cool cars, the black ones look evil. But i always tough that 1 of the 3 tailpipes were valved so you can straightpipe it with a press of a button. at least someone in my neighborhood had. didn't ask if it was stock tho... but indeed those speaker sounds are awful... it almost sound like a blown up speaker on the higher revs... disable it, valve it and problem solved :D

He used the diff so well getting out of the corners

Sound out of the box😂 thx Otto Partikel Filter such a shame.. for such a good car 😢

What I find appealing about Nurburgring is that you can can just cruise on the right side and watch supercars racing you, great experience for the price 😅

10:09 🚀💨

I just realized you made a what is love joke on the thumbnail

Should have tried another Lap with +R mode, it will have quicker Throttle and Engine response than Sports Mode. BTW Honda did do a Nurburgring Lap Record which was released recently.

Does it seem the red line could have been higher? Sounded like the engine could have gone much higher RPM’s.

When you were pitting that car flew by so fast 😮😮😮

Real good driver that knows his car

I'd wire in a little kill switch under the glove box so you can turn it off if thats the case, I hate fake engine noise even those stupid cabin induction tubes.

Great car, good to see a very confident lap as well. All cars should be fitted with auto blip on the downshift. This raises a question, can it be mapped for flat shifting going up through the gears? Elephant in the room, how quick was the BMW at the beginning of the video....👀

Cool car..but where is the roll cage and/or atleast a proper harness?

Hey Misha, i was wondering why you sometimes drive the car yourself and sometimes not. Is it because some owners will not allow you to drive their car or because you just don't always want?

More Honda content!!!

Whats with all the mini coopers blocking all the bmw 2 series

Pound for pound..dollar for dollar..arguably one of the greatest cars ever made!

I miss the vtec sound 😞😞😞

very nice lap, the video doesnt convey the fake car sound though the speakers, but just the idea of it....... although if i had a racing girlfriend who liked it,, i'd probably learn to live with it aswell :P

Finally civic type r 😂

Nice car but not sure why Honda designed the nose is so flat (almost like an SUV) instead of having more of a downward slope.

Fastest factory FWD on the ring. Amazing but I would rather drive an EK9

Common Honda, do a retro 88/91 CRX 😃 Awesome lap by the way! Have to ask though, can't that terrible bs through sound system be turned off?

As I just bought a TT in the same color as the one next to the civic, I would love a video with that car. Or maybe just some info about the car/driver, insta maybe, would like to follow and learn more about it. P.S: curious about your impressions of the record lap compared with this one.

Now we're waiting to see if Honda's driver will be faster than this guy. What a lap!

Did someone tried to tamper with the fake noise in newer cars? I mean getting rid of the speakers in this kind of cars which will be track prepped shouldn't be an issue anyway but I assume there's some software way to turn it off. Edit: watched till the end, so the option no. 1 is viable thru disconnecting speakers.

Watching the video, I can´t help hearing Jeremy Clarkson saying "understeeeeeer". Just a little bit. I hope next lap will be with you driving it, and with the factory tyres. Thanks, Misha!

Fast car👍👍🏁🔥

He can unplug the sound module or have a dealership turn it off electronically

If this hurts ears, I don't know what other cars do.

I have notice that the seat bolsters is not holding you well in place @misha

I CAN ALMOST HEAR THE AE86 ENGINE SOUND LIKE WTFFFF!!1!

How do you like the Advan AD09? Can you give me a benchmark to compare?

It's a fast car though and its driver is "seriously" fast too😉

Hey misha, first of all you are an amazing driver and entertainer, I absolutely love and respect what you do. That said, I’m a 20yrs old guy very passionate about cars, I’d love to come to the ring soon. Considering that I’ve been on track once with a Porsche 718 and did pretty good, and I very often drive on the sim, what kind of car would you suggest to rent as a first timer?

This car is great

Hahaha i watched only the track. If the "👍🏻Yeah" was coming i see you aren't driving 😆 upps..
