Before I bought the 2023 Honda Civic Type R, I had a 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T. I always liked the Type R idea, but to me, the FK8 styling was too much. I sold my Accord almost 2 years ago knowing I'd get the Type R or TLX Type S to replace it. I just had to be extremely patient and save up to put a down payment on it when it came in. I'm extremely an impatient person. When I saw the FL5, I instantly loved how it evolved into a more mature version of it. But..I can't help myself, every car, I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE I own is modified. I take what the manufacturer designed and make it my own, tastefully.
Most of the modifications I do myself. Sometimes, I will get some help from EZ Motorsports in Colorado. I can't pick a favorite modification. I like them all! I plan to upgrade my fuel system when it's available. My favorite memory with this car is when I surprised my 3 daughters with the car and seeing their reaction. My least favorite memory would have to be getting two flat tires within 5k miles of owning it.
What are the highlights and lowlights of this car?
Highlights: Mature styling yet serious about its intentions. Comfortable as a daily driver. Spacious cargo and passenger area. Great on fuel!
Lowlights: The cost, while I love the car, I feel it's being priced quite high by the majority of the dealerships.
I have a 2021 Honda Accord 1.5 with about 80,000 miles on the car Labor Day weekend took a trip with the family down to the Carolinas came back the car started over heating for some reason took it to the dealer found out I had a head gasket leak the dealer fix the car it was still under warranty thank God and I asked if can install ARP head studs without voiding my warranty and they said yes they can do it the car is back up and running no problems no issues nothing more to say ARP had studs it hold the head together perfectly
