I think it looks great, muscular and understated like the older M cars. I just need to find one with out a markup.

Well seeing as how Honda said it will be the most powerful Honda ever in the USA, it would have to eclipse 306hp.

307HP

I hope we get around 300hp, not 340-350.

This engine is only a 2.0 turbo and the best part of K20C1 is the liability (not fuel economy, but actual liability). If you want more hp, tune it by yourself. I aint in high school anymore!

nonsense. Tuning it by u yourself will reduce so call "liability". And i think you meant to say "reliability".

If honda puts out a fl5 with more power, I'm confident they would also make sure it's reliable as well, it's a honda after all.

Honda's reliability isn't what it used to be 20 years ago. They had some serious timing issues on the CRVs and engines with oil sludging issues. Also for the longest time Honda has failures with their autos in the V6.

Oops! I meant reliability And i was being sarcastic on tuning haha

confused as to what you’re trying to say…lol. So what vehicles have “sludge” issues, which crv had “timing issues” and Honda has had weak auto v6 transmissions dating back further than the “20 years ago” when they were reliable.

 

[Boostlag]

CRVs has timing chain failures and 1.5 turbos have had and still have premature sludging. Honda manuals still have 2nd gear grinds and everyone just seems to turn the other way. I guess its all depends on someones experience, I owned a Mazdaspeed6 with s2 and driven hard and never had a single issue and that car was known to be unreliable. Also had a VW R32 that was a lemon and my current GTI has been mostly trouble free.

these are known issues? I’ve serviced hundreds and I haven’t seen one timing chain failure & premature sludging on any 1.5T. Any service new articles or bulletins on these known serious issues?

enough that that is class action lawsuits. Honda will never admit fault.

 

[Village911]

Just go buy yourself a sport

What are about the setting and body kit ? Thats why Im going with type R not because of 30 extra hp? lol

Amen!

You mean oil dilution in the 1.5turbos sold in cold climates that was remedied? Most of newer Hondas problems are related to the air conditioner and head unit. Hardly stuff that I’d call a serious problem compared to other manufacturers ie. Kia’s/Hyundais catching on fire, and now they still catch on fire after being repaired so they wouldn’t catch on fire. Honda is still top 3 when it comes to drivetrain and engine reliability.
