2023 Civic Type R FL5 - Reviews Compilation (Articles + Videos) ✍🏻 🎥

[savagegeese]

What I take away is that the +R mode is closer to the Limited Edition FK8 ride/handling than the standard FK8. Since I think all of the last 2 generation CTR's had no different equipment, just tuning differences. Numerous outlets said the LE had too steep of a dampening curve for most tracks unless it's a F1 track condition like Suzuka mentioned as Honda's home testing ground. Hopefully Throttle House's notation of unless you're in +R mode, you can't completely disable the traction control is user error then. As it seems for most track driving you're looking for individual mode with sport suspension setting but only if you can disable the traction control systems in individual mode. I'm sure we'll get to hear all about this once the embargoes are lifted in a few days. Thanks for all that you do!

You cannot full disable stability in Individual, we tested and asked chief engineer. And they won't elaborate as to why. The American side told me it was a safety concern. While there are other things that don't make any sense as well. I just think they don't really care. They did the car how they wanted, period. That was the attitude. I guess the pedal dance still works but that's stupid and unrealistic.

The damper profiles are more aggressive than LE. That's what he told us, wider range.

know you're probably under strict gag, but can you at least tell us if you like the FL5?

Is the bounciness something that can be tuned out with springs? I’m guessing it’s on the damper side…mo money!!

I was already planning to get one before I drove it and was kind of starting to regret the commitment. After driving it at the extreme and on the street I am excited to own one, like NO BS. It's expensive for what it is but it will be a zero regret car for most people who buy it assuming you know what you just bought.

yea thanks for the response.
I love this thing and can't stop staring in the garage
I have to admit I'm a total Honda fanboy and can't wait to see your official review!
Also hoping you guys in the Midwest and east coast will get you FL5's soon.

I’m still waiting for the news from my dealer when I get my champ white and I’m guessing probably around march maybe. That boost blue of yours looks dynamite my two favourite colours for the FL5 for sure. Already got my plates ready to go on asap.

Nice plate. I wish I could have a clean and simple plate like that here in the USA.

This... On all things Honda.
