2017 Civic Type R Reviews Compilation

[Solis#1730]

@ronmcdon @omegaZ87 I think the difference between base and touring models would be headlights (no LED), sound system(amount of speakers), infotainment system(no Navigation), no red stripe on exterior aero and rims. Maybe other lil things but nothing that will drop the price significantly.I believe the base model is what was used to set the record at the Nurburgring, Just my .02.

2k at most. Also unless the car was a strictly a track car, I wouldn't want my car that I'm paying 30grand to be barebones.

I agree.

So all the reviews from Europe seem to be unanimous. The car is more refined, more livable day-to-day, but still retains the ability to turn some serious laps at the track. Sounds perfect to me.

It'll be really interesting to see how the U.S.-based press reviews this car given the lack of a reference in the FK2.

I think its entirely possible it could come out at that price and likely, but of course it's going to be speculation until info gets released.
the difference between a sport hatch and sport touring hatch (21k vs 28k) is around 7k. ....

Deleted - misread the NA 2017 CTR window sticker.

The 2017 "Touring" model we're getting is the "Base" model @ $33,900! What content could you take out to lower the price - AC, different wheels & tires, lesser radio, no android, ...?
The 2018 edition will likely replace "Touring" with "Base" and add "GT" with hopefully Honda Sensing (a MT version without low speed follow (see the Canadian version of the 2017 Si)), perhaps satellite Nav, ...

From what I've read on this forum 2017 CTR's sold will be touring models. For 2018 they will continue selling touring models and also offer base models. I personally don't see why they would add honda sensing to this type of vehicle

Great thread idea! It'll be going crazy at 9pm tonight!!

What's at 9pm?
Is that the US release time?

You're right - I've read the "sticker" a number of times and totally missed the Nav and LED headlights items.
I mentioned Honda Sensing because it is part of the Civic Sedan/Coupe/HB Touring equipment (along with CVT etc, etc).
I'd personally want Honda Sensing in the Si or CTR if we were to purchase one.

I think the embargo ends at 12:01 am but I don't know what's happening at 9pm.

Yeah sorry. Not everyone lives in California.

EDIT: I was also thinking that was tonight. It's 12:01 am EST Thu? Damn. That sucks.

Gawd that Autocar review was limp wristed, and the commenters come off as a pack of shivering poodles.

Cool, so it looks like we just need a custom Flashpro for the dash to give us sport mode suspension and +R everything else lol.

 

[Hawnduhfanboi]

Im thinking price wise between base and touring to be similar to my 9th gen SI. i want to say it was about 2k for navi and climate control.
