35-40k for a car is not anywhere near cheap. That’s over $500 a month which many many many people cannot afford. I think it should’ve came with full insulation but if they really believe that those extra 10 lbs of insulation is gonna hurt your times then just remove the front lips and side skirts.I said the Civic is basically an econobox at heart. And in the world of cars in 2019, it is. It's a great econobox though. And remember, even in Honda's lineup, it's only one step above the Fit. The $35,000 Type R is still a Civic albeit an amazing performance version of a Civic.
Honda intentionally designed the Type R according to the OP to have less sound insulation in the doors for weight reduction. Realistically, if his car is to spec, dealers aren't going to throw in insulation from another model to "fix" it. Like another poster mentioned, that would open up another can of worms.
I'm sorry the OP's is getting this rattle. Sorry he feels like Honda isn't handling it properly. But the bottom line is, just take it to an audio place or add soundproofing yourself and be done with it.
I spent $25 grand on my EX-L and have a few rattles here and there. I know from owning many cars over the years that taking my car in to fix rattles is a waste. My solution ironically, is to crank the stereo up.
