2023 Civic Type R FL5 - Reviews Compilation (Articles + Videos) ✍🏻 🎥

[Rhorn]

Meh. All +R, all on track, no idea what it'll be like actually driving the car on a public road.
These were demo laps, not reviews.
So we have to continue to wait. Fvcking Honda.

I'm confused about the embargo because people were saying that was going to be media drives in mid November. Seems like this October event came from nowhere

This is the first I've heard of this. Where are the switches?

Misinformation imo. None of the cars so far had them.

Seats heated up by the 10 journalists who sat in it ahead of CNET.

Agreed. The Smoking Tire folks were pissed (and said so on Twitter) because they said they already drove it at PCOTY and agreed to a November embargo, and then this “first drive” event happened and people are giving driving impressions.

TST has nothing to worry about. The videos and driving impressions were shit.

Fair point. I really want to see road driving impressions, as that's where I'll be 98% of the time.

if they are there, they are at either end of HVAC control settings.. but ya I agree with others. we won't get heated seats imo

My old man back needs heated seats. I wonder if there’s anyway to add them aftermarket?

Who will I listen to in reviews:

• Chris Harris
• Henry Catchpole
• Steve Sutcliffe
• Jethro Bovingdon
• Dan Prosser
• Harry Metcalfe
• Matt Bird
• Randy Pobst
• Zack Klapman
• Jason Cammisa

But I'll take everything they say with a grain of salt. They are just opinions, and we all have our own!
