Since it received its red badge on August of 1997
people have referred to this car as sleek, fast, stable
an executive once even referred to it as the forbidden fruit
while others simply referred to it as
Oh well yeah
Now believe them as I do, I still am dying to know why
The Civic Type R 5th generation is well winged to say the very least
it got edges and curves and cuts and lines
So many lines in fact this thing could make Tony Montana look sober
its dressed in flamboyance for the lack of a better term
but at the heart of it is a no nonsense athlete
so it begs you to ask, does it really need all that flamboyance
Here let me show you
The honor red badge and the all LED affair upfront
is surrounded by ducks, cut and chin
Now not everything allows for air to go inside
such as this honeycomb grilles upfront
only the right side has a small opening to let air in
Now this guys create so much downforce
that these latch were added so that the air could escape
hence combatting that downforce
Oh, and the scoop on the aluminum hood? That too
Most might take that that's for the turbo, not exactly
its more for cooling purposes where the air is channeled through
and out the sides of the car
Upfront is where you will find the air for the engine
and down below that is for the intercooler
The faux carbon fiber trim continues down the side
with cuts that can be found on the door
There are panels above the wheel wells
which adds to its already wide stance
which compliment very well the 20-Inch wider
than an elephant butt tires
Yup, 245,30's can be found all around the car
with Brembo brakes to boot
Oh, and cheap thrill
Capless fuel system
What? Your car doesn't have a capless fuel system?
Where do I even begin? There's so much
You got vortex generators found on top, not one but two spoilers
Wingtips on either side, just like the Honda Jet
You got more honeycombs panel at the back
more faux carbon fiber trim, a rear diffuser, 3 exhaust
and a partridge in a pear tree
Now most of this bits do work but they do only start working
at 200km/h and above. So essentially
it's like a 7-footer that can't sing a free throw, sayang
Oh, a selling point for the Type R
Not like it needs help selling itself but
but there is a 414L of cargo space that can be found with the rear seats up
Speed shopping. Ah! That could be a thing. You'll thank me later
Comfortable, low and spacious. That's my normal driving position
that's Vincent normal seating position
and as you can tell, that's a lot of legroom and headroom
Not bad for a hot hatch
Must be said that there are absolutely no toys back here
only 2 speakers that can be found on the door and trippy red seatbelts
Oh, must be said that there is no seatbelt for the 5th passenger
which means, sorry bro, you can't come
The cluster and infotainment system
are much like those found on the normal Civic's
save maybe the air controls which are now tactile knobs
The blower is still in the infotainment system
which doubles as a reverse camera
Of course there is a reverse camera, what are we? Animals?
Anyway, there are red accents that can be found all around the car
Sports seats, suede center armrest
and a titanium shift knob which is awesome
When you start her up, you expect a loud boom or a gurgling
atleast from something that pushes out 310 metric horses
but there's none, so it makes you think that maybe
the exhaust was a bad idea, maybe they should've stock with 2 exhaust
or maybe one massive one
but maybe that's what they wanted, maybe they wanted quite
but if they did one quite, then why the Lily Savage get up?
Could it be because of the badge that we can find on the car?
Okay, so not the greatest of segways but there it is
Close the door, find a bit of road that you can play on
switch it from its default sports mode into R mode
and this monster picks up immediately
Once you get passed the 2500rpm the 400 Nm of torque
are let loose and you are in for a ride
Imagine yourself to be the security guard at the brand new mall
that's going on sale with 400 people just outside
waiting to get in. Once the clock strikes 10am
Hang on to those doors
The 6-speed gearbox is a joy, the short travel into every gear
and plus the rev match that catches you as you downshift
Man! It really makes you feel like you're a better driver
or a smoother driver than you actually are
There is a comfort mode that you can select
which can absorb bumps in the city within reason
But don't expect to have the same comfort as your average Civic
or your City. I mean this car yes, this particular car
made it around Nürburgring in 7mins 43secs and change
making it the fastest front-wheel drive road production cars ever to do so
For those that want to know, the Type R is capable of over 8km/l in the city
Now if that's the main concern of yours, then this car might not really be for you
But you're not alone, because the sad reality is
this car might not be actually for everyone, even for those that can afford it
When Honda Philippines brought in the Type R late last year
it was up for grabs at P2,980,000. Now, the price really
wasn't the problem with this car
The problem was is that they only brought in a hundred units
which sold out in 48 hours
Where do the next batch? None yet
Heps! Huli sa balita. We can confirm that there is a 2nd batch
of Honda Type R's that are on their way to the country
When exactly? Not sure, but they are on their way
So if I we're you, rush to the closest Honda delearship
and put down a reservation for one
because those things would sell like hotcakes
And now, back to me
So flamboyant as you may think
This thing could dress in drag do the Hoola
and you'd still wanna be inside it
It is one sweet drive
