If you can afford either....I would weigh whether a moonroof is important to you and then make your decision. If it were me....I would get the Type R. The car won’t depreciate and will be a lot more fun. I have a sport touring HB and far prefer the looks of the HB over either the sedan or...

This is very true. Go drive the previous generation TL and then go drive the current TLX. The TL has a 6spd auto and the TLX has a 9 spd in the V-6. The TLX drives very similar to a CVT.

The CVT is faster. There is no loss in engine power as the transmission is always in the correct gear. What you feel with a manual transmission or automatic is the surge of power as the car loses power and then accelerating, gains power as it climbs the power curve in each gear. Shifting a...

This is about the best write up I have seen for the CVT in the Hatchback Sport Touring.....I fought the CVT idea for many years but, really do like mine. If the Sport Touring were offered with a Manual, I would still buy one as I like the engagement of a manual but, all things considered the...

Yep had this problem happen with my brand new Civic Sport Touring HB. Got the crack driving home from the dealer......

Clutch replacement is a tough one as most of the dealers realize very few people today really know how to drive a manual. They are most likely looking at you as the reason that the clutch is toast. Were there miles on your car prior to buying it? Chances are someone took your car out on a...

I would have taken it to a different dealership. When something is not fixed properly, I usually move upstream to the department manager. If they try to pass me off on another lacky, I ask the manager for the dealership owners contact information as well as the Honda regional managers name and...

I was wondering the same thing. Seems like it would be easy to swap out the speaker and add an amp....

Nick......I agree.....this is exactly what I want as well. Sport or Sport Touring offered with a manual transmission + moonroof......I would pay Type R pricing to get the Sport Touring with a Manual nd moonroof. I do not like the Si 4 door ass end and although I like the coupe, know that two...

Could convert the Hatchback Sport Touring from CVT to a manual for that amount of money......

Honestly......just offering a manual in the Hatchback Sport Touring for the US market would make me more excited than any of these accessories. Not being able to get the manual in a well optioned Civic is just plain piss poor marketing. Wish Honda would simply charge more to be able to special...

Have been wondering is the current Spartanly optioned USA Si with its smallish 1.5T was developed as a filler between the launch of the Civic and the launch of the new Accord......? The 2.0T that is in the Accord Sport should have been the engine of choice for the Si yet, in North America...

Wonder how long it will take before Honda wises up and puts the 2.0T Accord motor in the Si? 250hp with 273 lbs of torque is what the Si should have been.

Agree with you on the Si Sedan. Put the std. bumper cover on this car and I might consider a four door. Sadly, Honda is trying too hard and decided to put lipstick on a pig. The rear of the Si sedan is really not a good look. I really like the two door and if I take the plunge and go with...

Diesels with turbos are drastically different engines than gas engines with turbos. Diesels require high compression to create ignition due to the low combustablity of the fuel. Gas engines do not require high compression as the fuel is more combustable and prone to early or late detonation...

We will just have to wait and see about this......high compression boosted engines never seem to last as long as NA engines. There are some interesting design additions that Honda implemented in this engine to facilitate better cooling. Increasing compression though almost always leads to...

Pointed this out a while ago.....not sure why they don't just call it a 2018.....who wants a 2017 that takes a 1 year depreciation hit when the 2018 hits the showrooms?

This Si should be the easiest and most satisfying Si that Honda has built. The combo of turbo torque and manual gear selection should make for a satisfying car. I owned a 99 Si that was one of my favorite cars that I have owned to date. This years Si should be even better considering the...

Funny yes......Sadly American Honda just does not care about the US consumer. All about bilking the US consumer out of their hard earned cash, by under optioning the car, Honda makes more per car. Wish I could just go to Canada and buy the car I want. May just shun Honda and buy a...

Who wants a fuel efficient semi-sporty car? Might as well call the Si, CR-Z 2.0......Seriously.....buy a hybrid if you want mileage.....it is not like this vehicle has some exotic engine or offers up any kind of cutting edge technology.......at the end of the day, all it is, is the CRV tuned...
