It's like the designers wanted to make the car look super aggressive, but then the engineers said, "Fuck no, that'll let in rain, rocks and moisture and decreases the longevity of the car."

And then they decide to fake it so that it appeases the engineers and designers. Like a sound tube or engine noise through the stereo so you can hear the induction noise.

The front and rear vents/grilles that are on all of the models only serve an aesthetic purpose, but the rest is there for a reason: Car and Driver

Top Gear just did publish their comparison test between the new CTR, Focus RS, Golf R, and Cupra 300. They declared the CTR as the winner based on the fact that it's the most fun to drive, most capable, with ride comfort and refinement matching the Golf R. It also won praises for its gearbox, driving position, overall practicality, etc. The only downside is actually the engine as it has a little bit more turbo lag than the VW 2.0T.

You'll either love or hate the Type R's design. They didn't play it safe by going subtle. That being said, all the aesthetics are there for a legit performance purpose, so I'm good with that. I don't count the vents/grill because those are already on the base civic so it wasn't Type R additions. (It's still a Civic after all).

Sounds like this car has some fine engineering in it.

The front right (passenger) vent is functional. So is the hood scoop and side vents. The rear and drivers side vents are not functional. I know its weird but its true.

EDIT: Jgresch's post hit the nail on the head.

great driving
neat to see how long 20 years of engineering have come
i'm assuming it's way easier driving near the limit on the CTR vs the S2K

just look at his tire choices :rukidding:

I am , 'very on the fence' on getting one.
dealer said i am on the next batch.

This will be a very cool car if i was 18... i have already been through this process when i got the Ep3 near new ...15 years ago..

if i do get it, it will be a DD hauling a family of 2 kids. and i would have to give up my MDX for it. and wifey will be driving it 1/2 the time taking the kids to school.


i might just give up my spot.. luckily the dealer i dealt with provided a refundable deposit as an option

Those are some pretty strong words.

that was a waste of time...
watched half way and just started skipping thru it

Whole video has nothing to do with the Type-R car in particular.
He just kept whining about the relationship between car manufacturers and car reviewer in general...and Honda as a brand going down hill..etc etc

I feel like he has never even driven the car..the stuffs he said (whether true or not) has nothing to do with this car.

Basically a click bait with a catchy titles.

i'm pretty sure he hasn't. I've watched his other car reviews before and when he has actually driven them its different. he does go off on tangents and bitches about industry things in those too, but he does talk about the cars more.

He's also a bit of a subaru fanboy (hence the references to the sti moreso than other type r competitors).

Saw a White one last night on Lougheed HWY, probably turning to goto Costco. Doesn't look too outlandish from the front.

AzNightmare 07-23-2017 05:55 PM
Spotted one today in the afternoon. Black one with "CTR" plates.
I figured a lot of owners were gonna try to get that plate.
