An uncle once said "In every man's mind" “Everyone has a Honda Civic” You don’t care if you were born in the 1970s 1980s 1990s Still the 2000s Honda Civic in your mind All occupy a position All men who have a Honda Civic in their hearts or boy Type-R in your mind Also occupied one ‘sacred and inviolable’ status What I want to introduce to you today The latest Honda Civic Type-R Code name FL5 The selling price in Malaysia is From RM399,900 Close to RM400,000 Previous generation FK8 in Malaysia Ab

out RM300,000 The price has increased by almost RM100,000 In fact, this is also the case in the UK UK FK8 is on sale for £36,000 Now it sells for £47,000 in the UK Almost £50,000 The British also think so "Wow, why did it rise so much?" Because actually In the previous FK8 The previous Type-R In fact, they are all assembled in Swindon, UK. Production But because the Swindon factory closed down After Brexit This FL5 will return to Japan Yorri (Yorii-machi) production So it's a hundred percent Jap

anese research and development Assembled in Japan Honda Civic Type-R before the video starts Remember to Subscribe Youtube Channel your subscription It's the driving force for us to keep moving forward Let's go before i sit down Start the engine hold on to the steering wheel After entering 1st Gear I already felt it it might be In my career It's best to open it The most suitable car This is fastest front wheel drive car The same is the 2.0L VTEC Turbo But now it’s up to 330PS and 420Nm This is t

he strongest heart in Type-R history Code name K20C1 2.0L VTEC Turbo The version imported by Honda Malaysia is 319PS Can use RON95 gasoline In fact, K20C1 is the engine of FK8 But using Flywheel which is 18% lighter Make VTEC Turbo smoother 25% lower inertia The reaction is more direct better Rev Match automatic oil refill efficiency also improved Especially from 2nd to 1st Gear This makes it The most powerful VTEC Turbo engine ever by chance I'm actually test driving this car. The last one was

the AMG A45S That one has 421PS A45S priced from RM509,888 Totally unexpected Or maybe it’s what I expected This one costs RM399,900 Honda Civic Type-R Redline 7,000rpm Brake I tell you Whenever you have any doubts about front-wheel drive vehicles Will it have Torque Steer? Will it fall off? Now the steel cannon Golf R, A45S All are four-wheel drive To offset the phenomenon of Torque Steer That Civic Type-R is totally Change the status of Torque Steer Reduce it to very, very little you can't fee

l it at all This is a front-wheel drive car First it has an LSD limited slip differential Ability to reduce wheel torque distribution Next, it uses Dual-Axis Suspension Able to take advantage of the car's more strengthened chassis and suspension system plus the overall computer system to remedy it When it comes out of the corner It's very, very smooth I've never driven a front-wheel drive car It's accurate to this point It's really too exaggerated look I've driven cars with more horsepower than

this one Very, very much AMG Even the BMW M2 Go up again But Honda Civic Type-R Especially this FL5 Based on the original FK8 The so-called excellence Except in appearance something else It has no drastic reforms Inherited VTEC Turbo engine from K20C1 Just put Turbo to make changes make it smoother And now Auto Blip Automatic oil replenishment system it's smarter downshift 2nd Gear Compared to FK8 FL5 body 15mm wider Lower 13mm Area of ​​front bumper and front grille Enlarged by 48% Intake air f

low value Improved by 10% Front Bonnet Used Aluminum aluminum alloy Better Bonnet 43% lighter The rear tailgate is made of Resin Resin material Also 20% lighter luggage space Civic Hatchback available in 410L Golf GTI only comes in 374L GR Corolla 4WD is smaller Only 213 liters Rear shape Although FL5 looks More conservative than FK8 But the rear wing is particularly tall Can provide stronger downforce There is something straight out from below Three exhaust pipes Exhaust flow value increased by

13% Body wheelbase FL5 wheelbase Extended 35mm Coming to 2,735mm Based on lightweight Highly rigid platform construction Adopting a new ultra-wide style 265/30 R19 tires Although one inch smaller than FK8 But widening from 245 to 265 Specially made Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Brembo four-piston brake calipers Front 350mm rear 305mm Dual-Axis front suspension Camber Rigidity Camber stiffness increased by 16% Ability to further reduce Torque Steer Honda revised the EPS Control Logic Used a larger dia

meter Make steering rigid 60% improvement It's not the kind of muscle show Show others how big you are Look at it, everything is 15% increase here 30% improvement over there Increase the height here widen air intake hanging spring rate Turbo intake energy Everything is gradually tuned this car Compare A45S it's surprisingly comfortable It's surprisingly comfortable comfort to I can't even believe it This is a Type-R From FD2R FK8 And then to this FL5 I'm really surprised Honda can let it When en

tering and exiting corners with such force, Able to handle daily driving I'm talking about stop-and-go traffic jams daily driving Go through some potholes Malaysia has a lot of bumps it can handle it all329 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,120 This is it Fabric chair by Suede style The entire chair is manual Slide forward and backward all of them Manual Seats This is lighter The most amazing thing is Usually this kind of suede leather It will be a little harder But its entire ride Enveloping feeling Ve

ry very good It's almost as good as Those super luxury sports cars That sports seat (Maybe it’s Japanese body type) This fits very well when you sit up. It doesn't even have Lumbar Support Very high-tech Much like AMG Recaro Seats It's really nice to sit on whole body Can be firmly fixed here When you are cornering hard The range of movement that the body can move Very small Alcantara in hand Also very interesting Because I remember I was in Pinzolo, Italy When test driving the Ferrari Purosangu

e I met someone from Milan, Italy Alcantara original designer He just told me Except Purosangue BMW M3 M4 Alcantara with Type-R It's all designed by it The entire Type-R steering wheel It was done by him He just told me This Alcantara is Very high quality Alcantara And the workmanship is very fine complicated Because there are many surfaces a lot of arcs Even if you catch him, make sure It provides maximum friction Because many steering wheels are Here's Alcantara for you I’ll give you Nappa Lea

ther above. It's Alcantara throughout certainly Type-R Why it’s Type-R This one in the middle Red blood Honda Logo The red head logo is a key point This 6 Speed ​​Manual transmission Reverse is pushed down on the far right And Drive mode It does not have Econ mode you can choose Sport, Comfort, Individual In Individual mode things you can adjust Much more than the average Civic. Just like Golf GTI, Golf R BMW M, Mercedes-AMG Engine, Steering, Suspension Engine Sounds, Rev Match (That’s Auto Blip

) With the style of the dashboard You can choose If you think this is not enough Press the +R button The whole thing will go into Another fighting mode Redline is 7,000rpm No The car's idling speed is Soft Limiter to 3,000rpm+ You can't do it again This is the version introduced by Honda Malaysia No Bose speakers added But... Who cares about this stuff? It only has 8 Speakers sound system It also has Honda Sensing Adaptive Cruise Control Lane Departure Warning Automatic car following function Ju

st not like the UK or the US Has BLIS blind spot monitoring system Just like other Honda Malaysia models Don’t even give you BSM Is there a Honda LaneWatch Camera? Of course not This is also the case with air conditioners Three knobs to adjust Wireless Charger Two Type-A connectors Auto Brake Hold my impression It’s rare to drive a manual car with EPB. usually Usually Manual just gives you Handbrake This is an electronic handbrake There is also the function of Brake Hold The most important thing

is This clutch pedal is gone This Clutch pedal enable you to achieve The state of unity between man and car This Type-R is a sexy beauty A very eye-catching one Very delicious The taste is strong a Honda Civic Type-R I haven't driven it either (Except Porsche) I have never driven such a smooth manual car before. This 6MT gearbox In my test driving experience Every time I have to test drive one A car with high horsepower and torque honestly in my heart You will be a little nervous at some point

There are some cars when you are already nervous It will make you more nervous it will keep going urge you Going all the time makes you anxious Keep burning this of yours Adrenaline forces it out But Civic Type-R FL5 There really is this magical place It's actually calming down let me calm down Every time I try my best to push Try your best to press the accelerator When going for a sharp turn its this very strong steering wheel steering force its hanging this Adaptive Damper System Including its

Turbo whole sitting posture Inside the cabin this chair Quality of steering wheel Anti-slip The chair is also non-slip Your whole being is it will make you whole relax It makes you think whole How do I get past this corner? How much should this bend be? How many How many many few many few many I can't say it anymore Myself How much do you like this car? Really are Thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole does not always exist. Often available in the Civic, not so common in the Type-R Thank yo

u very much Honda Malaysia Lend this FL5 out Let me feel it truly The latest Type-R To tell the truth Able to test drive a Type-R In fact, this opportunity Better than some supercar brands Even harder Even AMG Or BMW M Because the price of RM400,000 at BMW Mercedes Belongs to mid-price range They also have millions of cars But the RM400,000 Honda For Honda Malaysia It’s a box treasure It’s a store treasure They probably haven't sold it in history. A car above RM400,000 Honda Civic Type-R The who

le test drive experience Although its horsepower and torque cannot be compared with today's four wheel drive steel gun Like Golf R A45S Wait for these opponents to compare the shape of its body The whole shape is also very large. Just like what people say In fact, it’s already the size of a BMW M3 but it gives me that kind of hand teeth Manual Gearbox Don’t just pursue 0-100km/h Torque required 400hp 500hp No It stays in the 300hp range Go for excellence Lift suspension Improve the rigidity of t

he car Suspension performance Precision of LSD Also inside the carriage A significant improvement compared to before Alcantara Suede Fabric This is it some people will think This FL5 looks like Return to being more polite Not as flamboyant as FK8 So violent But I personally Actually I like this look better No matter the front of the car, the rear of the car, or the interior Or the feeling of driving This is not a want to tell you "worth to buy" “Reason not worth buying” You want to buy There are

also certain conditions that must be met Allocation Or various pipelines It's not even one So easy to get color you want The configuration you want the end of the video Really are... I think there is a chance in life I really need to test drive the Type-R. Take a drive sit down Feel it what is called R purity of blood Originality and... I don't know how to describe it see you in my next video We start now Push to 1st Gear +R mode Let’s go New Caption Honda Civic Type-R more than a Car.
