I agree about the exhaust on the Type R being too docile. I ended up swapping the OEM one to an HKS Legamax and I wish it sounded like this from the factory. I'll take my chances with the warranty, but I can definitely understand anyone who says the Type R doesn't sound. It DOES sound... only inside. Outside is mostly wind noise it seems.

If it was an actual $10,000 difference I might have bought a Type R instead of the Si. As it stands, dealers regularly mark it up an additional $5,000 to $10,000. It’s definitely not worth a $15,000-$20,000 difference, especially when you can get Si’s brand new for around $22,000.

i will say this I used to own a VW golf gti mk6 2012. Going to a honda civic si I felt like I lost nothing but gained a little more horse power. I love how the front and back end looks and is very roomy compare it to a hatch back. I will say that both cars are better built than their competitors especially vw. American and European cars are just not quite there and are endless money pits. Anyhow I bought the 2019 civic si was more in my affordability range.. The type R if you like to put your money you're mouth is than get a type r.. Si is more affordable plus you can always take type R parts and change them out on the SI. That's how it worked with my vw gti to golf r mods. I only recommend modding you're shit when you pay the bank off. The Si it can haul some serious ass for a 1.5 plus the exhaust is louder makes you feel like you are driving a high performance vehicle. Si always has better gas mileage compared to its big brother. I am very happy with my SI it gets people hating and jealous lol

A couple reasons: 1. It's the hatchback body which costs way more than the coupe or the sedan variants 2. Bodykit, brembos, sport tuned suspension 3. 2liter boosted four banger making 320 hp in s relatively light weight car. 4. Beautiful interior which rivals that of the s200's 5. It's fully loaded track car that beat many cars at the one track I can't pronounce. Nurburgring. In my opinion this justifies a 40-50k price tag.

That’s ridiculous, to buy it you would have to shovel out $47,000.00 + tax and everything else, so its a over a $50,000.00 civic. The salesmen stated they only get 1-2 Type R’s a year from Honda and don’t even pick out the color. You can buy 2 Civic SI’s for the price of the Type R.

I think the desire for a volume control knob is not to "finely tune" the sound system, it's ergonomics. A volume KNOB can quickly be found, it's easy to adjust quickly up or down. Rather than having to hold down some rocker button on the steering wheel or having to remove your eyes from the road to find/fiddle with some screen, which is an added distraction. Yeah, it's a small thing but look at what Honda did, they responded to popular demand and brought it back. Some controls should be easy to find, intuitive, and not screen-based.

Like you, I think the xtra money is worth it for the type "R" version. The only other Hot Hatch I would consider is the new Veloster "N", with its turbo model. Less ponies, but I like the style a little more. I remember those racing days when the name of Honda was very competitive in formula racing. I really like this car though, in the "R" version, for sure. Keep em' comin', thanks.

In my region the Civic R is $19,000 CAD more than the Civic Si which includes the taxes and loan interest). Pretty crazy. Buy the Si, invest the $19K saved and in five years the Si is paid off and your $19k has increased to $30k. 😊 Leasing over 4 years doesn't fare any better since the Type R costs $13K more than the Si, with zero equity in the vehicle at the end of the term.

Civic Type R resale value is far greater than the SI. I know someone that bought a type R for 35k and then resold it with 15,000 miles on it for the same price. It is also a collector car...unlike the SI.

The K20 motor is impressive engine since its introduction in 2001 till now 2019. Its def interesting the new K20C is made in the USA but what interest me is that the VTEC system is on the exhaust side of the engine rather than on the intake side on previous gen K20s.

Due to computer error the electronic brake on my 2016 Civic engaged while I was driving the car. The Honda service department technicians said they didn't do anything that addressed/corrected the problem. Honda customer service said the brake problem was fixed and refused to compensate me for my losses from trading the Civic for a 2017 Accord without the electronic parking brake. The only way to get rid of the problem was get rid of the Civic. I wonder if the same engineers designed the 737s.

Well they are now closing down the Swindon England plant who produce the R-Type for North America so there probably was something concrete in that salesman's statement? Here in Canada we can only get one in either white or black? They brought out the red for 2019 but have since dropped it? Local dealer sold their red one within a week of delivery appearing in their showroom and instantly to a cash buyer. It was only one of a few produced in red here. I would buy one in the blue shown but not available here in Canada!? UGH!!

I recently bought the 2017 type r sonic grey. Amazing sports car for that cheap price. 4 doors, alot of room in the trunk and its really fast. Great car stock but i will do stage 2 (400hp) Also insurance and taxes are the same or even lower then a standard family wagon with 150hp xD Insane! Right now its more of a weekend car but i think i will use it as a daily later and instead buy a r32gtr/rx7/200sx/m3e92 or something as weekend car. I can really recommend fk8 type r, both as daily and weekend car. It does it all! :D
