Unfortunately you missed most of the highlights of this car. It’s FWD versus AWD to keep it lightweight and this cars handling is it’s key ingredient to it’s incredibly fast lap times. While you actually were hoping for some torque steer, Honda went to great engineering lengths to come up with a solution to eliminate it, and it’s dual axis front suspension is the solution. Having a cars power pull it from it’s intended path of direction is never really desirable so eliminating torque steer is important to most driving enthusiasts. That gearbox btw has been praised as one of the best manuals ever, and as I own a 992 GT3 with an incredible manual transmission, I agree that the Type R’s is definitely in the same league. And lastly, the rear spoiler on the car does help it produce actual downforce and is not just a styling trinket as you insinuated it to be. The Civic Type R is literally one of the only cars that I can think of in modern history that has pretty much been over MSRP every single year since it came out in 2017. To me that shows that car enthusiasts appreciate what it is and offers and they see value in what it provides

Is there a way to like this comment more than once? As an FL5 owner myself, I am glad you wrote this so I didnt have to! Very well said, James. Another thought I had, the he almost made it sound like the Individual drive mode was its own drive mode. Which it is but is very customizable. You can choose the settings that you like the most. Want the ride firmer? +R mode. Want lighter steering? Comfort mode. Something in the middle for throttle response? Sport mode. Just to name a few.

I know it must seem like a toy to you and nothing more. But that little toy would smoke the crap out of your AMG on most any track with more than 4 turns. By a large margin too. Look up the numbers. Not saying it's a better car, but if you want an affordable, reliable and low cost of ownership sports car that can run with cars 2 -4 times the price, then it's a great value. You're right about the Mustang being a completely different level of vehicle. The Honda is easily level or two more advanced.

I’ve owned several Hondas. The highest mileage on one was 345k…not one issue. I owned 2 FK8 CTRs…one of which I drove 80k miles in the first year…absolutely bulletproof! A Honda CTR will never be the fastest car out there but it will easily last you 15-20 years…spending more time on the road than in the shop. Modifying them severely may cause reliability issues according to my tuner BUT I had no issues modifying mine to the 400 plus neighborhood. It’s true that the 12-15k I spent on wheels,FBO,labor etc. on top of the MSRP could have purchased me an RS3 for example but I don’t think 10-15 years down the road…that I’d have the same trust/confidence as I’ve had with my Hondas. Just my two cents…
