2020 also got LED headlights which are a must imo.
To the OP, a 10th gen 6mT hatchback is also a great 1st car for a kid, that’s what I plan to get for my 13 year old when he’s ready.
every car we’ve owned they send out such letters and e-mails, just means they want to sell you a new car.
heavier CVT hybrid is probably not going to be faster but who cares, any boring EV is much faster than an Si. It’s about fun and involvement.
It sucks cause there are some features I want and none of the entire Civic/Integra lineup has them all:
hatchback (without the super long Integra body)
Rear armrest
LSD
Nope, there’s no combo has all three. The closest is the 6mT Integra A spec but it looks huge and blobby. I like the look of...
10k mile update says it's not very popular. Hard to say if they mean compared to 10th gen. I was perfectly happy with the performance/fun of my 2020 Si.
So true, I did 10 track days in a '95 325i (189hp). I never felt like I needed to mod the car, other than tires and brake pads. It's the driver who makes the car go faster. I had a very skilled BMW driver drive the car at Mont Tremblant circuit for me - it felt like he had added 100 hp to the...
I had AS3+s on my 2017 Civic Sport hatch, was not impressed. They sucked in snow too, just compromised like all all-seasons.
Also summer tires are generally great in rain cause the stiff sidewall helps channel water. All seasons aren't better in rain. The benefit is in cold weather - at...
I used to check regularly, back in 2021 they were offering $27k for my 2020 and selling similar ones for like $31-32k. So they have dropped the offering prices, but not the selling prices. The used car bubble has made them very greedy.
My car has twice disappeared and reappeared a couple weeks later at a different Massachusetts dealership. Carmax stubbornly refuses to drop the price, so it's been on sale 4 1/2 months now (was initialy $32k but has been $30k asking for 2 months now).
They paid me $24,600 for it in late July...
My real world gas mileage:
2017 Civic Sport hatch 6mT = 37 mpg (70% US highway)
2020 Civic Si = 35 mpg (70% US highway)
2023 Focus ST-Line X = 17 mpg (almost 100% bumper to bumper Taiwan traffic).
Wow I really appreciate the Honda 1.5T now. The Ford has a 182 hp 1.5L 3 cylinder turbo, rated...
Can someone take my 2020 Si off Carmax's hands? I sold it to them in July, and it's still up for sale (at $5400 over what they paid me). They were asking $32k, but dropped it to $31k and it's been $30k for a month.

I had them on my 2017 sport hatch cause I couldn't find any good summer tires for it. I wouldn't buy them again, it's a lot of money and they sucked in snow, so not sure I see the point.
There's a wide variety of snow conditions, some are pretty easier for tires like the AS3+ I had. Like when it's really cold the snow gets hard and brittle and is easy to drive on. Fresh snow is also pretty easy. The AS3+ struggled on the cold slushy type conditions we get a lot in mass, where...
