  1. The buzzy from the engine is called VTEC. 😂

  2. I wish they were more reliable. Search videos on transmission issues and transfer cases blowing up.

  3. They need to spend millions to R&D it. With interest loans up so high, they can’t borrow money to do it yet. Investors just paid for Pilot and need to recoup. They might make it a hybrid 4 cylinder with 200 hp seeing more people want fuel mileage over power. That’s gonna be a huge let down if they do. Honda is also fixing many issues of new Pilot with transmission and software tuning issues.

  4. Urus is still in a class of its own. It’s got a little more exotic feel inside. Drive one too, it’s fast for an SUV. The RSQ8 is more sleeker inside and much more simple. Urus is exactly like a Huracan driving. You pull the paddle back and it goes into gear. Both paddles back is neutral. Pull the big middle lever back and into reverse. I’m sure the RSQ8 is not like that with the shifter. The leather on the Urus is unbelievably perfect. Audi will be more simple design. The RSQ8 is half the price though, depending on options.

  5. Honda buys them through aftermarket company. Also have 3” lift too. Honda can install them.

  6. So true.

  7.  @aaronjohnson3652  my friend has had quite a few exhaust on his Type R and still sounded blah. Louder and more obnoxious. He ended up selling the car. Luckily he made a profit on it. He then bought a Focus RS and blew the engine. 🤣 We laugh about it. Now he has an RS3. Now he says he can’t go back to a Type R after superb sound of RS3. Years ago, I had a Golf R and sold it because of 4 cylinder sound. Exhaust just made it more obnoxious. I traded it for an RS3 and now I’m beyond happy!

  8.  @aaronjohnson3652  STI is a boxer engine so it’s not an inline 4. Unequal length headers give that sound. Unfortunately they are not good long term. Equal length is better for longevity and performance in flow. You just lose that major rumble sound.

  9.  @aaronjohnson3652  reason Audi left out manual is because it’s slower and harsher on drivetrain. Every time you pop out clutch, it sends a huge shock throughout the drivetrain and suspension. With a high horsepower/torque car, it will result in shattering transmission and engine mounts. Dual clutch eliminate all of that and shifts blazing fast. Plus tuning car to 1000 hp plus is better with a dual clutch. Manuals will fall apart fast.

  10.  @aaronjohnson3652  Porsche makes the best manual cars these days and even they are putting the PDK in all of their super fast RS cars. Mainly because of longevity and ultrafast record setting times. Manuals are extreme fun, but when you get into high horsepower, and want record times, nothing beats a dual clutch. Also best thing about DSG is launch control. It’s a game changer! Anything under 400HP, I love manuals.

  11. I never thought we would get this in the US. Huge surprise! Unfriggenbelievable!!!! The only thing to zonk is the competition!

  12. God of destruction - So this imitation Supra kills the real Supra in every category. Faster, better handling, 100 times better built, 10000 times better fit and finish, etc. Ya maybe they should have named it something different and made it a manual, but it is what it is. A new Supra. The C8 makes it easier to obtain a Supra. My negative friend who hated it just bought one. He said he is very impressed with it. He went to look at it and wanted to hate it. He then came home with it. I was very shocked.

  13. The hybrid civic is the second fastest civic made with the type R being the fastest. Sport means it’s a sports suspension and looks. The bonus for the hybrid is fuel mileage and instant torque at 0rpm. So much better than a NA slug. It’s sad that people think hybrid means slow. It’s actually opposite. Hope I helped educate you.

  14. If Honda added bigger batteries and bigger electric motor hybrid system, they could make this go 0-60 in 4 seconds with ease. It won’t take much.

  15.  @randomhobbies5796  Launch control is a German thing. Would be cool though if Honda implemented it with the transmission with software. The transmission can handle it. Honda isn’t the greatest with transmission tuning. Even their 10 speed is problematic. Acura owners complain about 10 speed.

  16.  @littlemoneymark Well it’s not an economy vehicle. 😂 look at Lexus hybrids. Not Type S. If you don’t need an SUV, look at Prius. Those get great mpg.

  17. You had me at “Beastie Boys”!

  18. Be happy you can change bulbs for cheap to LED. When manufacturers change to LED, they use modules to meet safety requirements. Those are 500 and up for each one. Not easy to change and have to special order. So you can change to LED bulbs easy. Be happy it’s old school and best of both worlds. Honda saved everyone money and aggravation for future. Wait till to get a car that you need to change out a whole LED cluster. Some vehicles can be thousands.

  19.  @drivescene6747  I like Acura, I just want them to do more than a Honda. The Type S at 75k is a joke for little performance. Awful track pad. A 10 speed that is just ok. These are heavily traded in towards other brands one to two years later. There’s a reason why.

  20. I know a girl that got rid of hers after a week because of the rear vents missing. Her dog and kid were too hot with no AC vents. Florida with no vents in the back is not healthy. Honda should be ashamed of themselves for not caring about families. She got a Camry now that she likes.

  21. This will be in a whole different class than an American made vehicle. I wanted a Bronco Raptor till I borrowed my friend’s for a few days. Now I no longer want one. I love G wagons, love Defenders, and love the B58 BMW engine. This vehicle will make most people very happy.

  22. That’s kinda been the point of Honda. Look at Lexus, BMW, and Audi. Kia and Hyundai have lots of tech, but lots of major issues.

  23. It will blow up. These 1.5 hate mods. They will throw a rod and bearing. Head gaskets are weak too. This is not the engine to mod. You will lose warranty. Too many people lost money because they were modded and blew engine. They void warranty.

  24. It’s annoying it automatically shifts in manual. I don’t see point in even having them. Fake sound is annoying.

  25.  @DYIguy  Yes. Unfortunately. GM and Ford are still blah. Last GM I had was an Escalade and after 5 years new, brake lines and master all rotted out. Ball joints and tie rods all went bad. Had AC issues and electrical issues. That was my last GM product to ever buy. I then went to Audi and never looked back. My Audi has went double the mileage with no issues. GM is total overpriced crap. All my GM friends have me a hard time telling me my Audi would break and they were wrong. My friend had a Cadillac sedan 400 and the transmission went. Luckily it was under warranty with only 9k on the clock. He traded it for an Audi S4 and is now super happy. GM guys don’t realize how crappy they are until they own something else. I know Honda is cutting back a lot. It’s quite sad as it was the basic brand everyone tusted. I don’t blame people being upset with Honda and GM collaboration. GM is a huge step backwards for Honda owners.

  26.  @erikk.2227 Honda is as good as the used to be. US made Honda is not the same as imported Honda. US workers don’t care about their jobs. No more passion.

  27. Jeeps are the ones that are overpriced. Cheaply built.

  28. Check out JonDZ. He takes his Passport to some hard spots. More than anyone will ever take theirs too. If you want a rock crawler, buy a real Jeep.

  29. 4 Runners are great, but awful road vehicles. Slow and lethargic and all over the road. My friend’s wife blew her transfer case in her driving in 4 wheel drive through blizzard for hours straight. 4 wheel drive is for slow driving on back roads and short term use. AWD is meant for long trips in blizzards down highways for added safety. She fixed hers and sold it for what she paid. Got lucky. Got her to buy a Passport Trailsport and she loves it. Honda sold it to her for 39k new cash.

  30. TLX S has transmission issues and transfer cases blowing up. Acura is aware of it and finding a fix. Look up videos. M340 is a much more reliable car and made for more power, plus you can beat on it. B58 ZF8 is a tried and true drivetrain.

  31. @ Have you worked on a TLX? Lots of plastics too. Most composites these days are amazing. It’s not like the plastics of 10 years ago. Acura V6 is amazing and built to last forever. Especially seeing its under powered. We do know the splines in the transfer cases are stripping. Honda corp has not revised the part and swapping in same part numbers. So it’s just gonna happen again. That’s why many are selling them. Acura was originally gonna use a dual clutch similar to one in NSX, but during COVID, parts got scarce, so Honda used the in house 10 speed and limited the V6 to 6000 max rpm, mainly due to torque capability on 10 speed was 350 at best. Honda had no choice. I remember talking to engineer on this and it’s what scared me away from buying it. Lots of people bought them and sold them right away once they found out car was designed to max out power under 360hp. It’s small ported heads and turbo is why. The good thing was the small ported heads heads and small turbo kept all the power at an instantaneous power from 1600 rpm all the way to 6k redline. Almost no turbo lag. The transmission was tuned in harmony to work flawlessly. They just weren’t too sure on how long it would last. Its rpm range is very playful. It’s just not high revving. Honda wanted to play it safe. A dual clutch would have been game changer. Then they could have opened up the heads more and raised power levels and rpm up to 7k, making 400hp. The surprise they didn’t see coming was the weak splines in the transfer case. So that’s something they need to address. I had a speed shop look at it and seeing if we can make them bigger and more durable. It’s a lost cause and would cost way too much. It’s too bad. I love the car, but it’s never gonna be a bulletproof drive train, other than engine. Engine will last forever. This is why we all got rid of them. Covid changed everything on it. Parts shortage strikes again.

  32.  @ChrisWall999 The orange looks amazing. My friend just got one for his wife. He just picked up his 4Runner Pro. So both of them are having fun. I drove both back to back. I love driving the passport and love it more. You can toss it around corners nicely and handle smaller than what it is. Steering is amazing. 4Runner is amazing looking too, especially the pro. Hard to get in and out of, 20k more, back seat is hard to get in and out of with ingress and egress. Interior is smaller and crammed. Engine is clacky because it’s a 4 cylinder. It definitely has more torque than Passport, but it weighs more. Passport feels a lot more athletic. Still turns heads. The orange fits so well with its body style. Honda designers did an outstanding job. Happy they brought some fun colors. The silver accents on the orange is fire 🔥!

  33. There is none.

  34.  @RaitisRides Not true brother! Search videos on transfer cases blowing up and 10 speed issues. Many are experiencing gears stripping. Many have been fixed and having issues again. Problem is Honda is not revising the parts. They are putting new parts in that are not strong enough. They need to make the gears stronger. Instead they are discontinuing the car. MDX has same issues as well. Most wee fixed and traded in after for other brands. BMW dealers was warned heavily to not trade them in because of the known issue. A mechanic on here explains the issue. Sad because Acura almost had a winner. 😢

  35. You’re paying for the drivetrain. It’s half of the V10 found in the R8/Huracan built by the same guys. Tune it and it runs in the 10’s.

  36. Si has always been a slow car. It was only about great handling and a manual shifting car. Si is a beginners car for manual drivers. It’s about to end soon. No point in a beginners manual because manuals are dead now.

  37. Camry is better because it has rear vents.

  38. Can the C8 sit 4 and drive in the snow? They are different cars. Why would anyone compare them? Now it would be great to add a C8 next to the RS3. Best dual combo ever. A tune and some bolt ones, the RS3 will beat the C8 in the quarter mile.

  39.  @Civicitizen They don’t use a 2.0 in the civic, other than Type R. Civics all have 1.5 crappy engine that has issues.

  41. I’ve got a 2018 with 50k on it and love it. Best daily driver I’ve had.

  42. Haha. I’m supposed to shift, but I don’t want to.

  43. Democrats passed the clean air bill. They want V8’ off the road.

  44. It’s a GM. They will make them for Honda and Acura.

  45. I just said this.

  46. Type R is limited and also 60k minimum.

  47. 10 speeds and transfer cases can’t handle anymore power.

  48. I love the interior. The red rings in person are awesome. They are a translucent red. Dash will be easy to fix. Not much to it. Audi and Lamborghini use a similar digital cluster. Powered by Intel.

  49. Won’t happen till electric.
