Over the course of these videos the Honda Civic Type R has been our trusted companion, and as such we’ve put it to the test in all manner of strange experiments! We’ve tested its speed, comfort, reliability, and most importantly, boot capacity, so I feel well equipped to give you the low down on all the things that really grinds (and oils) my gears about this car!

I remember watching this video last year when I was obsessed with buying one. I've now been a proud owner of this car for nearly a year now and I absolutely love it!

There is just one thing I hate about the Civic Type R: I don't have one.

@SimonJArthur 7 лет назад

I test drove the Type-R and I have to say that I loved the engine note. It has a nice growl to it and then those awesome turbo sounds makes shifting gears epic!

@carwow 7 лет назад

It made us feel like BTCC drivers. That's a good thing we think.

The funniest CarWow video to be fair 😅 The crappy horn sound is because of Japanese noise regulations

@carwow 7 лет назад

@lucky889s9 2 года назад

But this isn't for JDM. So why they follow that rule in Swindon? Even only 750 were imported into Japan, then importer can modify the horns

@DamianSupra 7 лет назад

Honda has always made the best shifters, the best fwd track suited cars and pity that the new age requries turbos cause the vtec would've been the most exciting engine in its class. FACTS

@Zerofightervi 7 лет назад

How can people not like Turbo sounds & all that it brings with it?

@TassieLorenzo 7 лет назад

Because lots of revs and instant throttle response is more fun than a turbo. It depends, but for the most part turbo four cylinders are biased to low to mid-range torque and most of them fall flat at high rpm, whereas in my opinion the higher the revs, the harder is should go... more natural. :)

@Zerofightervi 7 лет назад

I beg to differ, on boost performance & those dump valve & wastegate sounds are pure motorsport theatre. Also you can get revs galore with the right kind of tuning. There is no way the VTEC of old could compete with the the current turbocharged competition, never mind pass emission tests.

@kristiaan1 7 лет назад

I can understand that, but don't tell me having about double the torque of a naturally aspirated engine under your right foot, even with slight delay, isn't intoxicating. otherwise nobody would buy an Evo or a WRX STi. If you're in a proper gear you can absolutely FLY and it makes funny noises on lift-off.

@TassieLorenzo 7 лет назад

Re: Kristian Kopacik.. STis and Evos just aren't as fun as you might think (you can't go flat out everywhere on the road in them, it's excessive and there is no incentive to). Lots of people go from Evos and WRX/STis to Honda Type Rs, S2000s and Toyota 86s (or from Type Rs to STis and back to Type Rs). The whooshy turbo noises are nice, but after 5 minutes driving you don't even notice them anymore, so that's not a big game changer IMO. It's a question of quality vs quantity. You're going flat out every drive in a lower powered car and it's more fun.

@arashk1849 7 лет назад

Zerofightervi i personality want the loud exhaust of non-turbo cars when i put my foot on the pedal but i prefer the turbo sound psssssss when i take it off

Love my Civic Type R, so I know exactly what you talking about mate. Also, the random waves and thumbs up you get from strangers as you drive along the freeway is a nice touch

@TheJoeMB 7 лет назад

I'd seriously consider this. To drive, even Pistonheads placed it ahead of the Focus RS for fun. Then because it's a Honda, it will not go wrong. And i love it's insane and crazy looks. Plus the insane engineering behind the scenes.

@carwow 7 лет назад

You're spot on. People who haven't driven it will say FWD = understeer = boring. We've had a lot more fun in this on track than some supposedly driftier cars. But the Type R is a proper laugh

Owned mine for 5 months now. Agree with everything except the turbo noises, I love hearing it spool and blow off! You're especially right about the scuffing the rims too, mine are a right mess! Also the turning radius absolutely sucks, it's hard to drive in multi story car parks. But apart from that, incredible car I'll be happy to own for the next 10 years!
