It's still by a country mile, the greatest turbo 4 in production today. You drive literally any other turbo 4 including that 416hp AMG merc and the engine runs out of breath far before the redline. CTR just pulls hard all the way to the upshift- it's a unique characteristic of this engine that...

Honda in its entire history has never made an Si or Type R that wasn't a pure driver's car and manual exclusive. They always have taken their performance offerings very seriously. Competitors put things like M or ST badges on SUVs because they are run by bean counters selling pretend enthusiast...

Could they have made a 400hp FL5? Sure could have. But Honda has a reputation of reliability to maintain Focus RS, Merc, WRX, Elantra N engines are all going to die way before the K20. Focus RS engine isn't even safe to run stock lol.

Something neat is the car actually comes with a phone holder, it's right below the USB ports.

There's your issue right there. These tires should not be regularly driven or rather driven at all in temps that cold.

Si is still a phenomenal car so don't be disappointed if you end up with it long term. It's super lightweight compared to just about anything else out there nowadays, has a great shifter, and an LSD. Modding a Type R is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more expensive than an Si. Absolutely every single...

Progress marches on. The funniest thing to me is this is faster around the ring than any Golf R they have made so far.

That's simply not true. There's plenty of posts around here showing that even Cup2 only shaves off a few seconds on a 2 minute lap vs PS4S. You would really only need something above PS4S if you are seriously racing. Casual track days and autocross PS4S is plenty.

What's the issue? PS4S is the gold standard.

Yep, it sucks because they claim "first two years of maintenance on us" by which they mean oil change and tire rotation- but in reality it means they will only do the tire rotation with the oil change, which is 15% or less on the MM. Waiting that long will mean you're putting excess wear on...

There is no point whatsoever in getting a hybrid Civic if getting something fun to drive and modifiable are your goals. You want an Si. It's lighter, has a limited slip differential, an outstanding gearbox, and many other performance oriented changes that a normal Civic does not have that make...

Type S is a watered down Type R- it doesn't in any way satisfy the same enthusiast itch and it is nowhere near as special. To answer your question, I think it's too early to tell or put a ton of faith in that article. Just have to wait and see as info comes out over time.

Standard maintenance procedure is: Rotate your tires every 5k miles Have an alignment done every 15k miles Proper tire pressure also goes a long way to ensure long life of the tires. I make it a point to use a tire pump that lets you set the PSI for accuracy and use it once a month to ensure...

To date I don't think anything has been specified exactly- https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-corporate/releases/release-c6bc9770aed09765fad31482f4048f05-american-honda-offers-outlook-on-2026-us-automobile-business " The Civic Type R will receive updates this year, including exterior and...

Any chance he can identify if there are any of the mentioned changes to the interior/exterior ?

I always chuckle at the people who are embarrassed by a functional wing. It's a track car that can do damn near 180mph. Get some therapy lol Majority of Type R owners are in their 40s and above too

Sacrilege and blasphemy of the highest order

I have been all over the US with mine- probably 15k of my mileage is road trips. It's a phenomenally good road trip car. It is always comfortable, the passing power is extremely nice to have, and the adaptive cruise and lane keep work wonders as fatigue sets in. The only real concern is rock...

This is not something you just fiddle with and see what happens. If you don't already know exactly what you are doing, you don't change this stuff. Pay a tuner or learn how to tune.
