A very good review. I drive a 1.8 Civic but am shortly looking to upgrade to an FK8. Unfortunately the prediction on depreciation is somewhat off the mark now the 2023 Type R, FL5, has been released at a market price of c. £47k, which has caused secondhand FK8s to surge in value. It isn't unusual to find FK8 examples with 30k miles changing hands for £25k-28k. Also, the insurance quotes I've got are far cheaper than for Audi S3s and Golf Rs. Perhaps the Honda is better built, less likely to need repairs or even just cheaper overall to repair compared to the German competitors?

Great review, especially looking into CTR as a used car option, full of info and data which say a lot more than a quick lap or drifting abilities which prevail on today's reviews. 🔝👌🏼

I have owned one of these for four years now. They are not as robustly built as I would have hoped from a Honda. Perhaps this is why they are now being built back in Japan instead of UK. There is a fault with all Civics as the AC system was filled with the wrong AC fluid in the factory. This has caused random failures of AC compressors, condensers and lines. My condenser failed without warning at 10,000 miles. Additionally the side mounted indicators fill with water, and the most troubling issue is the interior squeaks and rattles. The dashboard vibrates and rattles routinely especially in cold weather generally caused by poor fitment of HVAC piping. It is difficult and expensive to repair. Honda will generally not support fixing it either especially if on an extended warranty from Honda. Finally the fuel economy is not as bad as video suggested. They must of been hooning it. Even on a track day I got over 20 mpg. My average over past four years living in London is 30 mpg and on a relaxing motorway run you can easily get 40-46 mpg in comfort mode. Tyres and rims can also been an issue with such a narrow side wall pot holes and rutted roads can actually damage the rims like they have been kerbed. Otherwise a very dependable and enjoyable car, remarkably good as a family car too. Get one will a Honda service record and you could easily run it for years trouble free.

@@vinunleaded there are no usefull new informations for the used car market like weak points to look after for or things are likely break down. The entire video is made up like the car was launched yesterday. You can find plenty other videos like that 7 years ago with not less informations in it. In 2024 I would expect a little bit more than that.
