Direct from Honda's Press kit:
"The 2017 Civic Type R is features the most powerful engine ever offered in a Honda production vehicle in America. The Type R’s 2.0-liter 16-valve i-VTEC® DOHC direct-injected, turbocharged powerplant advances performance on multiple fronts with a peak output of 306 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 295 lb.-ft. of torque between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm. The Civic Type R is the absolute pinnacle of Civic performance, and ranks as the fastest Honda production automobile ever offered in America, with a track top speed of approximately 170 mph.

The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is made by Honda of America Mfg. at its Anna, Ohio engine plant using domestic and globally sourced parts. Completed engines are shipped to Honda of the U.K. Manufacturing in Swindon, England, where the Type R is manufactured. Specifically engineered for direct injection and turbocharging, with an ultra-lightweight forged steel crankshaft and forged steel connecting rods, the Type R powerplant is designed to offer maximum torque output in the mid-rpm range to provide instantly accessible power.

Offered exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission, the high-strength gearbox offers a short-throw shift action and closely spaced ratios tailored to suit the 2.0-liter turbo’s power delivery. A driver-selectable rev-matching feature smooths high performance upshifts and downshifts, and Launch Control helps optimize off-the line traction for maximum acceleration. And to help put the power to the ground, a helical limited-slip front differential is standard.

The Civic Type R engine is Tier3 Bin125 / LEV3-ULEV125 emissions compliant. Though the Civic Type R offers impressive performance, the efficient engine and transmission, along with excellent aerodynamics and low running resistance, result in EPA fuel economy ratings1 of 22/28/25 city/highway/combined mpg."

You're a great car reviewer, very neutral and driven by pure car enthusiasm. You get it.

Actual performance and mechanical stats compared to Doug's "MUH SPOILER" review. Props to you!

The s2000 is one of the most enjoyable cars to drive. Hearing an owner say that this new Type R is really fun, says a lot.

I was never a Honda enthusiast, but this car looks far better than any of the competition.

You make the best, most comprehensive car reviews on YouTube. Keep it up!

This is the opposite of the Doug Demuro review

I prefer Type-Rs to have a high revving NA motor, but I also know Honda doesn't slap the Type-R name on a car that doesn't deserve it. I'm excited to see this car out on the streets!

COUN.Kyle.

So you like it then? Lol.
What a fantastic review this is. You really do make the most comprehensive vehicle reviews of anybody i've ever seen. You truly deserve *so* many more subscribers.

I applaud and thank you for also putting the weight in kilograms cause pounds don't mean much in most of the world.

Finally getting around to watching this and thanks for comparing it to the STI! Cool to hear that it's more fun than the STI, you could clearly see the big smile on your face! Should be way more reliable than the STI too! Great video Jason!

People keep complaining about fwd but then the 4wd competitors such as the golf r are front biased and send very little power to the rear wheels.

Just wanna tell, I watched this after the RL, AG, and CT channel review. I didn't expect it before, this review and its technical explanation... STUNNING. Very great job.

Thanks for mentioning rev-hang. It's a huge problem with so many modern cars. It ruins otherwise great cars. That would be a great topic for a video since not enough people know about it or understand it.
