Is Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition Worth The Extra Cost? 

Thank you for watching. I’m glad you found the comparison helpful! Also I’m extremely happy my subscriber provided his car for this video!

Thank you. I appreciate it. I love the Boost Blue!

Yes, that’s correct. The LE has different programming for the adaptive suspension. Gearing is same the same though.

Unless you plan to modify it and price sold was exactly MSRP

Yeah we couldn’t find a good location for a standing pull.

@@Afoothatsfire it wasn’t a dig, against you. It’s more like, that what the dealers are doing to people, a lot of times. They will sell you the car for a good deal, but make you buy $5k in accessories. The regular Type Rs have been like that for years. I’m glad you didn’t get forced to buy everything. That’s just been the dealers shady way of doing business. Prices are stupid, these days. Dealers always do shady things. I bought my Sonic Gray CTR, back in 2020, for $34,257, right off the truck. I was at the dealer, yesterday, getting my oil changed on my 21 SGP Accord Touring, they wanted $38k for a SGP 11th Gen Civic Si! $8,995 markup on an Si! I’m glad you didn’t get taken. Then LE is much harder to get. I looked for one, last year, and I couldn’t find one at a good deal. Then I saw a guy on Facebook, that bought 2, and I just gave up. I can’t even find one, this guy has 2.

Well they said touring but it feels basic because I don’t have sunroof, lane watch camera, auto dimming mirror, rain sensing wipers that the touring models come with. I get some of the items for weight savings but I was mostly aggravated about some type of blind spot monitor or lane watch and auto dimming mirror. I agree. I spoke with Rene and he mentioned the deal he got which was unusual for someone with a LE but he played his cards right and it worked out for him. Most people and dealers tried it with me, sell me the car without the markup but take the add ons that was placed on the car.

@@eddiemcars the auto dimming rear view, I think, is about all you’re going to get. Like you said, no sunroof for weight. I completely agree with the blind spot monitors. They could have at least done that. My 2019 didn’t even have the Honda Sensing equipment. So, the rear view mirror, was just a rod stuck to the glass, like a 1986 Ford Escort. The lane watch camera has been removed from all Hondas. I never got a chance to own a Honda with it. My 21 Accord Touring has literally everything, heated and cooled seats, heads up display, magnetic ride suspension, sunroof, and has no lane watch camera. Somewhere along the line, they just removed it from every model. My girlfriends 2019 Civic has lane watch, and it’s gone from the newer cars.

@@g.dubyou6263 yep. That was one of my first mods to the Type R was the auto dimming mirror replacement.

I totally forgot when you compare MSRP vs MSRP it’s only 5k more. Lighter wheel and tire package makes the gap even less. There’s a lot of collectors out there willing to pay 70+ for the car and keep it garaged

@@AfoothatsfireLike what we talked about before, there are people out there not willing to do the leg work to get the best price which drives up the price even more. I really would like to see Honda take a note from Chevy and penalize these dealerships from insane markups by terminating their allocations.

@@Afoothatsfire oh yeah, for sure. I never pay over MSRP. I got a 2018 civic type r back in December 2017 for MSRP. I also got my Shelby GT350R below MSRP

I live in the middle of nc. Message me if you wanna see them. Mine is 555 on the line

He’s fairly new to driving a manual. So let’s go easy on him. I’m sure in a few months or so he’ll dominate!

He was new to manual car. We’ll run it again.

Lol thought the same ! You can hear him miss shifting

Means you get a rare color and lighter weight with a more track focused package.

and it's 23 seconds faster than the 17-19 CTR

That’s big difference!

@@Afoothatsfire it’s a Honda… I mean why would you EVER want one????

@@Afoothatsfire because of the content is mostly BMW and I always watch, but I gotta be honest when the Honda was bought I was O hell, for the love god why

@@Afoothatsfire yea he is good dude

@@Afoothatsfire na that’s the same for ALL new vehicles. That’s not just a bmw thing and you know it

@@sweoff Didn't know Honda was the brand to shit on, isn't bmw the one not to get at least without a lease lmao.

Broke guys are funny

@@TheFK8Life Evo n sti over here son. What you driving

@@happyguy4525 2021 Type R kid Get your money up

I guess this debate will need to be settled on the street.
