Itās brutal unfortunately. Youāre super right about judging it by the golf R up here too, that was my train of thought as well. Unfortunately comparing and converting to the US pricing is always tough, because it seems like a deal for them but weāre still stuck actually having to fork over 63k...
This is my main issue with the car, even at MSRP in Ontario, Canada, youāre basically at 63k after tax. Thatās way too much imo, especially when the 2017 FK8 was (Iām pretty sure) just under 50K all in. I ended up with an Elantra N with snow tires, rims, tint, and ppf on the front for 49K all...
Always park where thereās a curb/island on the other side, or the very end of a row. Bonus points for the spots that have the island around the back of the spot so nobody can park behind you.
I ended up actually getting an Elantra N manual after driving one. Couldnāt justify the cost of the new CTR despite having a deposit down for a while. Elantra N was insanely fun for the cost. I donāt trust the long term reliability of it at all, but I typically donāt drive more than 4-5k kms per...
Check out the subreddit r/autodetailing if you are starting out, they have a very comprehensive wiki on basically anything you could think of asking for starting out.
I usually do 2 bucket wash and spray detailer at a minimum, probably once a month. Once the weather warms up I do a wash, bug...
Well, had some significant changes in the financial situation between the GF and I (for the better thankfully), and I have unfortunately had to cancel my Type R order as we are going to be getting into a house. For those in line at Image Honda in Hamilton, you're all moved up one spot now lol...
Im assuming you mean by not downshifting a bunch of gears? I usually only go straight to 3rd or 2nd depending on my speed, and then straight to neutral from those. Should never have to drop more than one gear in normal driving.
I doubt they actually have the choice of choosing a colour right now, otherwise it likely would have been posted by a sales person on the forums here. Theyāre most likely thinking of the Si. Iād be absolutely shocked if they donāt offer Championship White on it.
I go from about 6.4 l/100km in my current (2012) civic when Iām doing 105 kph, and end up usually around 7.5 while doing 115 kph. Your speed is a massive factor in fuel economy, not all highway driving is equal. This is also reported from the computer. For true mileage, you really need to record...
Trying to extrapolate fine margins from video is useless, never mind that these are likely 2 different cameras as well. This just seems like bait to try and get a viral video. Never mind this likely isnāt the actual track timing data being displayed either.
You can usually reset the auto-limits, not sure if youāve ever done it. Iāve done it with 9th and 10th gen civics by manually rolling all the way up, then hold the auto-up there for 10 seconds. Then manual all the way down and hold auto down for 10 seconds.
There was the timeline someone posted a while ago of Hondaās internal release timeline, and the type r was after the new CRV. So hopefully theyāre showing the CRV at NYAS, then weāll get some news for the type r shortly after.
Wow, fall this year. So that will be out before the new Type R at this rate lol.
Looks good though, Iām interested to see what the weight is. Not super interested in the car tbh just due to the interior space of the regular Corolla hatch, but it seems like itāll be a wicked driverās car
