Next Gen Type R Survey

[TheGreekFreak]

Leather one, if you can find it goes for like 150-200 depending on where you get it. I really don’t recommend Honda’s leather, mine tore apart pretty quickly with use.

Too bad. I had my GTI wheel custom wrapped with perforated/smooth leather + an integrated rally stripe. The leather from that was much better quality and more durable than the OEM VW leather steering wheel and even that I would say is above Honda's in quality.

I wouldn't get this one rewrapped just cuz of the red inserts the factory wheels have. I don't think they can replicate that with a rewrap.....but I may be wrong.

This one was done by SWEIDIT. If memory serves 390 if you send him your wheel back to him after he sends you his. I think buying a core from him is like 180 or something.

It seems Honda cared more about the damn steering wheel in the next generation type r..verse the design of the new type r..WTF? Next generation looks terrible and rumor has it might be mixed with hybrid technology..

I would not worry about Gen. 11 being a hybrid. Not enough development time for that, and I doubt they will do much in that direction for the Civic until they get some feedback on the Acura experience with the tech. The survey focuses on stuff that is easily slotted into manufacturing, and which represents low-hanging fruit. All the really cool stuff is long-lead time and hella complex, and I seriously doubt that casual user surveys will sway them much on that sort of high-dollar commitment.

But they can sure give us wonky steering wheel options and stuff like that for cheap.

They really can't change the main design much unfortunately. So that's locked in regardless of how we all feel about it. Add some ground effects and a wide-body to the hatchback and you'll have the next generation type R.

I would never want an alcantara wheel versus my leather one, one reason I am keeping my '18. I can live with controlling volume from the wheel. I never use the slider.

Funny they didn't send all of us a survey. Or ask about something more important like 'how do you feel about having a turning radius 3 or 4 feet larger than ideal ?'

Honda must have received alot of complaints about the switch to alcantara.
