  1. 2021 Type R Pricing in Canada

    What I don’t mind about this is the fact that it should keep the residuals on the used ones nice and high. And that makes it just fine with me as I get to enjoy the 2018 RR on an ongoing basis and when the time comes to sell I may be able to get more than what I paid for it. Lol. For those...
  2. What are some cars you owned before the Type R?

    2001 civic si-g (Canada ex special) 2008 civic si (should have never gotten rid of) 2011 ridgeline 2015 wrx 2016 wrx sti 2017 pilot 2018 type r
  3. Best way to shift the CTR (daily driving)

    Agree with above comments. You are overthinking it. I usually shift around 4K from 1st to second. Kind of same or a few hundred rpms lower from there with each gear. Then eventually make it to 5th or 6th depending on street speeds to putter around at stable speeds. But. One that engine is warm...
  4. Are you happy with the color of your CTR?

    In 2018 Honda Canada carried black, white and red. Saw white and it looked nice but did not do it for me. Saw that the dealer got a red one a few months later and stopped by after work to check it out. Bought on the spot without even driving it and have loved it ever since. Helps that there are...
  5. Bad Type R buying experience...

    Call around and find yourself another dealer that has one for sale. Check auto trader as there are a bunch of 2020’s listed. I would NOT deal with this dealer anymore.
  6. New CTR owner, audio settings?

    Hate to say it, the premium Honda audio system is pretty crappy and I believe that you will be disappointed until you spend some money on it.
  7. Reserve 2021 Type R LE (Canada)

    I thought about it but am not sold on the yellow as well as the fact that the price is yet tbd. Personal preference I guess. Would it be cool to get one, sure I think so, and congrats to those that did. Resale value should be wicked. I plan on watching for updates to the next sti and if those...
  8. 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition: Ultimate Track-Focused Type R Coming to America

    Good feedback on the sti. Thanks for that. If I may add, having owned the wrx and sti, I liked the sti quite a bit. It has character that perhaps could be attributed to its motor and unequal headers as well as other old school approaches like hydraulic steering. It was not perfect by any...
  9. 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition: Ultimate Track-Focused Type R Coming to America

    I recently heard from my Subaru sales dude and he thinks the 2021 sti will have 400 HP from the turbo 2.4. News like that is giving me second thoughts about this limited type r. I daily the r and live in Canada where the awd was nice to have in the wrx and sti I had prior to this. And sunroof...
  10. 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition: Ultimate Track-Focused Type R Coming to America

    My dealer said that the preorders would start in April. Nothing available when I spoke with them about a week ago.
  11. 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition: Ultimate Track-Focused Type R Coming to America

    I spoke with my sales guy here in Canada and he gave me a few updates for the 100 allocated to Canada. The dealer I deal with is likely going to get one, perhaps more due to the number of type r’s they sell. If I want it they will sell at msrp and they believe the price will be no more than $3k...
  12. 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition: Ultimate Track-Focused Type R Coming to America

    Spoke with my dealer today and he said the price on the limited here in Canada is going to be $45k. That’s Canadian. I can see the $42k USD bring the price for the folks in the states. Going to get some pricing on what the difference would be if I traded in my 2018 tomorrow.
  13. Refreshed 2020 Civic Type R, here it is!

    Canadian Honda website has pretty much everything outlined that was discussed. No price info yet or availability. https://www.honda.ca/civic_type_r
  14. Found these hints about the 2020 CTR on web think its getting closer to release.

    I have a Canadian 2018 type r and it has a bunch of stuff that the American one does not. Why? I have no idea as we usually get what you get. We got the integrated turn signals into the mirrors. The lanewatch thing for the right turns. The wireless phone charger. The turbo sticker at the back...
  15. Anyone coming from an STI?

    I came from a 2015 wrx to a 2016 wrx sti to the 2018 type r. wrx was a 3 month mistake. Should have just gotten the sti from the start. Sti, liked the sunroof, blind spot and rear cross traffic alerts, real hand brake, handling feel, all wheel drive as well as the rumble. Ride was rough and...
  16. Need help deciding between 2019 STI and 2019 Civic Type R

    I had a 2016 wrx sti. If you don’t need the awd then pick the type r. The drivetrain is much better in the type r and I have yet to run into the issues you outlined for the type r. Mine is a 2018 and it sure feels quicker than the sti. On that note I do miss the sunroof, rumble, and heated...
  17. What do you think the Type R is missing?

    Active exhaust is the one I wish for. Sunroof would have been nice too but I can live without that. The stereo and lack of base sucked but that was easily fixed. More noise please with some crackles and pops. Heck, if Hyundai can do it on the veloster n Honda should/could have done it mucho...
  18. Fun ownership poll

    I checked off about half of the bullets. Including the speeding ticket one. Unfortunately.
  19. Just sharing...

    Nice. Cannot wait to see the car in person again next to mine.
  20. Strange Metal Sound

    Had this happen twice today. Had no clue what was going on and it sounded like I was dragging half of the underbody on the ground. Took a peek and nothing to see but it sure sounded like something rubbing against a heat shield or something like that. Thanks for starting this thread.
