HUGE miss by Honda, not making enough of these for everyone who wants one. It's the perfect car for enthusiasts starting families, who need practicality in their track toy. But dealers have made sure that it's priced for people with Porsche money, and so out of reach for the type of person it was built for. I have nothing but F U's to give to Honda for allowing it to come to this.

Nice Type R! $50,000 is a lot of money and I know costs have gone up but wow! Would love to drive one. Back in the day I paid 10,500 for my 1990 CRX Si and it was made in Japan! It’s still awesome and makes me feel a certain way when driving it. Is Type R made in Japan too? For that price, I would hope so.

Love my FL5. Picked one up two weeks ago. It's everything my 2005 RSX-S wished it was back in the day. It's a riot to drive and I haven't even taken it above 5000 rpm yet. I can't imagine tuning it for more power, totally not needed. The way it handles is insane as well, the second the differential kicks in powering through a corner it's like the car locks on to train tracks.

So I would have to settle for the SI or Integra Aspec and lose the k20 spirit. Lol. I am struggling with deciding to get one of them and sell my RSX.

Great video! If I’m not mistaken many of the 10th and 11th gen Honda Civics infotainment uses a stripped down version of Google’s Android system as the base software and then overlay it with Honda specific vehicle software. The hardware used on the infotainment comes with insufficient RAM in comparison to what the system actually needs to function at full capacity. That probably attributes to the problem as well. Glad you were able to find a solution!

@@1anre it’s all about money. doesn’t matter who approved it as long as the profit margins make sense. Most consumers overlook this particular fault because you can plug in your phone and do wired apple carplay and android auto, so to some it’s not a dealbreaker. Honda has never prioritized tech, up until this new generation. There seems to be a shift, if you take a look at the new Accord hybrid, the new infotainment system is worlds ahead of their previous iterations because they are using Google’s android automotive, that include over the air updates. I imagine that’s the direction Honda will be headed with their in car tech.

@@1anrei wouldnt call an android infotainment system ‘technologically deficient’ by any means. As outlined in the video, its clear theres some performance issues in this implementation, but android is an incredible platform for integrated systems. kiosks, cash registers, infotainment, student laptops, tvs, and even some high end home appliances use it. android is entirely open source as well, so a capable software team can really make it work for the car, rather than just with it. additionally, its convenient because system updates can be performed remotely, rather than needing to take the car to a dealership to receive updated firmware. im sure that with slighly more system memory, the infotainment in this car would be very smooth and easy system to use.

Love the honest review! Congratulations on the new baby coming a long. Im in the same boat actually which leads me towards why i went with the Elantra N or i30 sedan N as we call it here in Australia. No doubt honda have brought back some of their 90s magic but after test driving both and having owned a fk8 I actually bought a I30N sedan over this for 20k AUD less and couldnt be happier. Its so much more comfortable and just as capable on track. If you're a Honda fan i get it but for everyone else objectively the N is a better deal, especially here in Australia where we get more if a luxury N trim than the states. The moment you start turning off stock features (like something as significant as suspension) from a car thats already overpriced to begin with to make it more livable, that's when you should've probably looked elsewhere.

Acuity sells upgraded shifter cable bushings and shifter base bushings. Those two will make the shifter feel a bit more sharp and the shifter won't flex as much when hard shifting. You can also try upgraded detent springs in the transmission for a heavier feel going in and out of gears. I have all 3 with the stock shifter in my 9th gen Accord and it feels great.

The highest I got was 45mpg on a Cleveland to Columbus drive, and that was doing 80 most of the way with a couple bursts of 90 here and there. Absolutely love this gen civic, they look fantastic.

I just bought a 2019 civic type r a couple weeks ago after years of watching videos of it. It lives up to the hype! These are special cars.

I've got an fc2 and I love it, the sound system has gotta be one of the best I've heard in all the cars I've driven, it even beats the custom jbl system I did in my old chevy. I'm really enjoying the vtec I've been thinking about doing a cold air intake and a turbo but I'm not sure cause I've only had the car a month now. I've also been thinking maybe I'll find like a type r 6 speed at a scrapyard cause the cvt it quite annoying. Civic gang

Went to local dealer to get my car serviced other day and I saw 4 type rs sitting in the show room they didn’t even have the prices on any of them…didn’t even bother to ask how much they were marked up haha figured if they had more then 2 that gave me a good idea they couldn’t move any of them

Dealers around me are marking up 15k. People just need to put their foot down and tell them know. Hurts them to keep sitting on those cars. Only reason they have the markups is so people don’t ask for more discounts.

Interesting fix for the CarPlay! I have a ITS and my car does not come with factory navigation like yours does. I have very minimal CarPlay drops and it seems to happen in certain areas (like near the airport) maybe due to signal interference or something.

Love that you love this! Never got to drive this or the previous gen, but always wanted to. I used to sell Honda’s back when the S2000 came out and I loved driving that so much. BTW Found out how shitty the car dealer industry is so I quit, but being able to drive the S2000 and the Si once in a while made it more palatable. Anyway, You think about getting an Alcantara steering wheel and shifter? All you need to do is clean it once every few months when it gets a little greasy and it’s so much better than leather and metal.

I have loved my FL5. Had it 15 months and only have 4100 miles on it, but it's my "pretty weather" fun car. This fall I'll be taking it to Tail of The Dragon and see what it can do. Keeping it full stock and with my build number being 720, I'm hoping the investment will pay off down the road.

Trying out a different shift knob could improve the shift feel a bit. I have a 1.5T integra and I changed to a lighter full aluminum oem RSX shift knob. I mainly did it cause I hate knobs that are only half leather so I wanted something full aluminum. The lighter weight made shift effort a little higher and it feels more accurate especially crossing through gates like 2-3 or 3-2 shifts.

The wheel and tyre setup was very useful for me as I have a Megane RS mk4 and I know you dont get them in the US not many people have them anywhere but the brake setup is exact to your FL5 and I never knew what offset wheel to go for and spacer size (as I'm on 19's with 245/30/19 and it's like being in a rattle can I wanted some thicker sidewalls for daily driving and some new wheels too) my arches are a little wider though not sure it'll make a difference..

when the all seasons wear out, look for all weather tires. there is a difference. for whatever reason, we have both in the US and the all seasons are comparatively garbage. in Europe their all seasons are equivalent to our all weathers. you'll know the difference with the 3 peak mountain snowflake logo. they will work a lot better in cold weather than what you currently have without sacrificing the summer performance. Oh, and nice Speedy!!! Looks like the Hesalite variant on the new bracelet. I had one of those too. Great watch.
