savagegeese discuss the Civic Type R after owning the vehicle for over a year. Its an interesting video from the perspective of both an automotive journalist and long term owner.

Man it would be nice to read some thoughtful comments about the CTR on this sub that weren’t all about ADM in the US. Lots of countries don’t have the same fucked dealer laws and we can get these cars (with some waiting).
I love my new CTR, handles like an absolute weapon.
My dad owns an FK8 Type R, and so I have quite a bit experience being in it, and I just really can’t get over how much they calmed down the styling. The old Type R was just ridiculous looking, which was awesome, the new Type R looks like a Civic with a bolted on wing.
Why does this car exist? It’s slower, more expensive, and less efficient than all of its competition. Even a base 4 cyl mustang is better in every measurable way.
It is essentially purely a track attack car. It is not good for drag racing. It has to perform at high RPM’s for long periods with a lot of turns, like a track. Also daily drivable with it being a hatchback. I get it
It’s not a bad car. It’s certainly an improvement over the prior generation, which was obscenely over styled and look like a child’s toy. But for that kind of coin, there’s definitely other things I’d prefer
I find these reviewers a bit insufferable.
