@@jek5568 Look at the cx-5 or cx-9. Mazdas really stepped their game up. Super modern interiors with a Turbo! just a thought man, got to do it for the kids.
@@dickhart36 You can't just look at the MSRP, the cost beside the MSRP is crazy, tax, care etc. You might need $40K to get a new one, so is not a bad choice to having a used one.
@@kencai6803 well, you pay same exact taxes, title, license fees on used ones too. Now you can find ones at MSRP. Which is around $37k So new one is much better choice.
@@koston777 What about the depreciation? From my experience, I bought a used 2000 miles civic sport, it even cost $3k less than the new civic base model.
In Honolulu, the dealer scalping fee is already about $3K for the regular Honda models, not considering the markup for it's supercars hot hatch status, known performance and such. As I commented, this particular one, being a 2019 with only 9K miles, and looks immaculate, and was traded in, probably for something they preferred more out of personal choice, I think it is a good deal.
The Honda Civic Type R is my dream car, when I see one on the streets, I be like "Is that a Type R!!" I would love to get it in the black or the white.
exceeded my expectations so far. just got mine last week. i'm surprised how many dealerships are still sticking to above MSRP prices. i had to talk to almost 40 to final snag one at MSRP brand new.
i work at honda and each dealership only gets about 4 type R per year. they won’t be test driven without being approved first and we charge about 4k over sticker. at first it was 7k over
It's the best DD ever built. It's a turbo gokart with minivan functionality, and it's aging into its styling. It's not as ridiculous looking as it used to be.
@@drdysl3xia795 It's way faster than my stage 3 full bolt on Focus ST was and it feels like an F1 car compared to a minivan in comparison if that helps. It's the best all around factory car ever built imo.
Great review. Just bought my 1st import ('08 Civic coupe) and love it. I'm 63 and have owned approx 50 cars, mostly muscle. The Civic is like a go kart and truly fun to drive. The R is on my wish list. Thanks for posting.
I bought a Pre owned one 8k miles on clock. Sat in there yesterday changing the radio stations and it was owned by someone who drove around listening to radio 5, heart 70s and magic. God bless that person!
@@javierarreaga8035 yeah they both have the 2 liter turbo, the type r just has it tuned to perfection and the aero & suspension set up on the R is also next level so it's hard to compare them even with the same engine, but if you gave it the right tune and some coilovers you could easily have a Accord Type R
Man this reviews are the best I just saw two different ones and they even have more subscribers and they kinda sucks this guy super enthusiastic but solid very cool informative about everything about the car covers everything in a cool hype type of way .. I gotta watch this reviews always !! Is the best thank you !! Every single car this guy reviews find something especial something unique about the car details and history just amazing
Thanks for the great review! You’re very objective and know your facts! One of the few reviews that didn’t make a big deal about the rear wing. I love the wing on my Type R. There’s rumor that the 2020 models may have a different trim model with a smaller wing. Imo the bigger wing fits the personality of the car. Keep up the the nice work!
Internet price $35,500 as of 11/18/19. You can buy a new 2019 for $36,600! Notice the OEM strut tower brace was missing. This car has been modified and only the original owner knows it’s true history.
@@brolyv5802 yep.its a type R it will stand the test if time. Swap all the fluids throw a set of tires on it. Runs like new. Type r was made.to be abused. Just call her your wife 😉 don't let her out of your sight though. People love to key these as much as a Tesla
@@aphamnet I own a WRX that I have modified. It's scary if not done right. At the end of the day, people just need to do their research. If they do, the will not pay a dollar over MSRP for any Type R, as you rightly point out!!
I’m in WA to Seattle they overprice this car and I’m not even into Honda anymore I just seen this at the car show we had yesterday wanted to see the specs
Definitely I would take a Used Type R over a new Toyota with my eyes closed that many of their Cars still have Brake drums in the rear ? That's 90's technology, Engines without Turbos also ? still way behind not to mention that short 3 years Warranty that goes before you know it
This is a REAL car review. Thank you for all the clarifications Joe. I was watching Doug Demuro's version, and he was honestly a complete idiot in terms of describing the different engineering aspects the Type-R has. This is why I love your channel, because you know your stuff lol.
I’m new to your channel and I really love how you do your reviews. They’re really in depth and you go over the small intricate things unlike a lot of other big name car receivers. This is definitely gonna come handy when I go to purchase my own civic type r, thank you very much! You just got urself a new subscriber :)
🚙🙏🏻🚙Great review As always Joe!! I love my 19’ Type R In the same color!! It’s fun to see a review of my exact car! I was fortunate enough to buy mine at MSRP! I highly recommend it! I have owned 4 different years of Civic Si in three different generations!! The Type R is on a whole other level! Keep up the incredible work brother!! God bless!🙏🏻🚙🙏🏻
Nice man , if you don’t mind me asking , how much did you put for down payment, because I’m really trying to get one and hopefully they’ll take like $4,500 down or maybe even $5K I just feel like they’ll probably ask for more simply cuz it’s the Type R
Hi Joe. Love your videos. Can you do a video of a type r vs sti? The pros and cons for both and who would buy each one. Since you have owned both I think you will have a very realistic and unique perspective. Thanks.
Even though somebody at Honda should be severely punished for not providing an optional Type R coupe, this is a bad-ass ride that I could drive everyday. Really nice color.
would love a type r, but the 2nd gear grind issue still does not look to have been fully resolved by honda. a quick google of the issue will show just how many other people are still experiencing the same problem :(
Everyone is saying how they had to get theirs above MSRP. Must vary between places, because getting one a bit below MSRP wasn’t exactly hard for me, especially since I got this as my first car. I still don’t know how the hell that happened. Am I just being like ignorant?
00256 type R CW checking in here... Glad you made this video... Throw a hondata base tune on this.. for another 1000 engages your talking 345 hp on a 3100lb car. Was next to a 2016 hellcat at a light stock tires.. told the guy I would give him 50 bucks if he could beat me to 80 from a dig... No contest... I laughed all the way to 80 as his tires spun for 3 seconds straight... Best bang for your buck. 36k for a car that will be worth 25k + in 5 years is worth it... Then you take your type r sell it and have 30k down for that used GTR you've wanted now your a 10 second car owner.
LOVE the Type R! Seriously, the owner of this car traded this in for what, a BMW? He is going to be regretting that decision a down the road when that BMW starts to break down and the resale of it plummets while the value of the Type R holds steady.
had a brand new one in black in 2018 and I LOVED the car.... was constantly bending the stock wheels on normal sized bumps etc... ended up trading it but I miss it!!!!
I would still buy new. I can baby it from the start. Paying msrp is better than not knowing where it has been. Take care of a new Type R, sell it after a few years then break even. That used car savings will manifest itself later anyways. To me, new or no thank you. Used and abused problem; not gonna be me.
I have a 19 si and I feel like I’m missing soo much by not getting a type r. I think the previous owner of the type r in the video put a rear motor mount because the car didn’t have wheel hop at all in this video.
STi for canyons, type r for track. STi for all weather car, Type r for summer mostly. STi for dig races, Type R for roll races. STi for 5 seats, type r for 4 seats. STi for classic rumble, Type R for 3 tip exhaust.
I love Honda pls give me a coupe....pls I dont need a grocery getter I want a classic Type R coupe! If you need 4 doors you dont need a Type R. But still love it. 👍
I bought my type r on the used market. I had to do basic maintenance but even after that it was well below msrp. At the end of the day it’s still a civic. The front brake calipers have been used by evos for years so the pad market is great, and the rear brakes are standard civic.
Michael because I upload one video a day sometimes people miss it the first go around. This is the first used Type R I featured. Thanks for sharing yoru feedback.
Those buttons on the steering wheel I prefer to previous Honda buttons. The print is on the inside of a clear button now, so the print will not come off.
.43 seconds into the video, and I'm already spotting the zonks, the fake air vents are one and the hood prop is coming up!! Come on Honda, do better! Awesome car no doubt, but do better.👍🏾🇺🇸
Did you zonk the new supra twice as much cause it has 2x as many fake vents. Did the new vette or supra or mustang or anything you can buy set any records for their class? Nope! But yeah, hate away bro...😑
Today I saw a 2020 Civic Hatch at a Honda dealer in Jersey, with red Honda Badge on the front grill, among other things. I stopped to look at it because I thought it was a new Type R with a “wing delete” option that I didn’t know was offered.
Raiti's Rides will do. My guess is Honda must sell a bunch of Type R accessories for other Civic models, and they through all the Type R exterior bits at this car that was front and center when you walk in the showroom.
I would rather have a Veloster N with performance SEMA package lol. Honestly, just a Veloster N with lsd. I just wish Hyundai offered a blue like Velocity blue Mustang.
@@Tcho2100 Doesn't the Veloster have a 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty? 5 years down the road or 50,000 miles later you are only HALFWAY through the warranty with bumper to bumper coverage meaning if it breaks down the dealer will still fix it for free for another 5 years or 50,000 miles. If that does not mean holding its value than I don't know what does.
The Type R Civic is a awesome machine. If I owned one though I would have to replace the racing track tires with something that would hold up more than 10,000 miles. All Honda needs to do is get rid of those fake grills front and back and they would really have a winner. As it is I'll give them a 9.5 out of 10. Great job Joe.
Love this video and car! Ugh. I'm in split decision. I love the Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring, Type R in that color, but looking at either the Acura RDX Technology or Aspec trim in the blue. Both are practical, sporty, lots of room, and the handling is sooo stiff yet drives like a cloud. Decisions.. lol
STIs are the cheapest of them all, simply because there are a lot of them on the market. here in the pacific NW, the pre-owned Type-Rs are all selling over their MSRP. and the Focus RS is holding its value very well.
The only problem with front wheel drive cars is that most people have no idea how to drive them. I have this exact car and I challenge anyone with a bone stock 2019 car to a race at any socal track. You will lose. I guarantee it. 2 rules, owner must drive and rubbing is part of racing. 😉👍👍
Got a 2019 Sonic grey last week for sticker in Texas. Loving it 😍 I guess if you contact literally every dealer out there you might manage to price match and get for sticker closeby but it's very hard for type r even when you say you have a quote but a few dealers did agree for sticker after negotiations for me while most of the others still have markup of atleast 4k. I heard 2020 will be announced after Thanksgiving and that they have tentative dates. Dealers are unwilling to budge even besides that
1:07 Car from France (not China) holds the Nürburgring lap record for a front wheel drive record and it's the Renault Mégane RS Trophy-R (now it's Jan 2021).
I wish in Seattle WA these were the prices. Because man they rack this up. I was looking at the accord, that caught my eye but I moved on from Honda’s long time ago but still have a special place in my heart for them. This is where I started. Now I own and bmw 335i and Audi A4 love my Audi because it’s a six speed.. it’s rare to find my model in a six speed.
I've wanted one of these for years BUT the Red seats and interior drive me nuts. I HATEEEEE red lol. If I could get one without the red seatbelts and red recaro seats I would. But that will never happen sadly :(
I had a 2009 Si then a 2017 Si traded it in recently at 58k for the Type R it definitely isn’t a daily like my previous two civic Si but man the performance is amazing super sold love this car gonna keep it for the long haul
