I wanted an SI but it failed to give me enough head room. If it didn't have a moon roof, who's frame rubbed my head, I'd have bought one the day it came in. But, since that didn't work out I went cross shopping and have enjoyed the experience. I know this is a Civic forum - I joined it for...

So took some personal time today to go visit a couple more dealerships, once again finding kind and accommodating sales staff happy to help. I test drove a 2014 Infinity Q50, a 2014 Lexus IS 350, a 2015 Lexus GS 350, a 2014 Acura TLX (6 cylinder) and.... a 2015 BMW 535Xi. So the Acura is... a...

Actually yes. And couldn't find a Hondata or Ktuner appropriate. Did find a post on Drive Accord or somewhere suggesting the 4 banger in this gen Accords was not a willing tune partner.

Hope ya'll are enjoying your SI's! For me the struggle continues. so somebody close to me suggested that the VW Golf GTI I am charmed by looks like a kids car. Well DUH, but why should kids have all the fun? Nevertheless, this person suggests I take a look at more mature offerings. Well -...

Google Car Loan Calculator and you'll get one calculator you don't even need to leave the search to use. Plug in expected loan amount, play with the anticipated rate and months and it'll give you payment amounts. Other, more sophisticated calculators will let you plug more data in, but if you...

"Zees eez how vee doo eet" - Das Sound Machine So all the automotive press salivate over the Golf GTI. Motor Trend car of the year in 2015, Car and Driver 10 best, Jeremy Clarkson's daily driver, yadda yadda yadda. And the unwashed masses of 'Mericu say, dude, its a freakin Rabbit. Well, yeah...

Subaru WRX test drive impression. BTW Hope ya'll dont' mind me sharing these non SI drive impressions here on the SI forums. The roomiest, and heaviest, of the cars I've tested, the WRX rally roots that show. It lays down its ample power through all four wheels and the grip is impressive. The...

Huh. I can't find an Elantra Sport anywhere nearby to test.

Well just drove a FoST. Got into it a couple times and definitely liked its get up and go. All seaon pirelli's on it. Spun em in first once, chirped in second once. Liked tossing it around a couple corners. Really liked the heavier clutch with a deeper engagement spot, and the longer throws on...

Not at all. If I were an inch shorter I'd be past the break in point on my new Aegean Blue Civic SI sedan by now. Ah well. Hmmm... maybe I should look at a Sport Hatch?

Yeah I shoulda known. My brother has a 9th gen EX-L and as a passenger I have to tilt my head to avoid the sun roof frame in it. I was hoping the wider 10th gen might push that frame wide enough but, no go. Too bad, cuz I just loved that test drive. Trying to talk my brother into picking one up...

Yep jealous of all you happy owners. Think I'll be test driving a WRX and GTI next week, as both are available without head room eating sunroofs and, why not.

Ok off topic a bit but figured this crowd would laugh like I did. A blue Odyssey just drove by my house. It was pretty dirt covered. Written by hand print in the dirt on its side, like you might do with a "Wash me", was - "Vtech Beast" Some dad stuck in a mini van was having some fun with...

6'4

Um. yes. I thought that was evident in my post. Head hits sunroof frame, thus no SI for me.

Sinks that don't break your back when doing dishes. Hotel shower heads that hit your head, not your chest. Not being limited to the selections in big and tall. I could go on but trust me, the advantage to being commonplace is more common than you think. ;)

Well... went back and its a no go. There's no comfortable supportive seating position that doesn't have my head brushing or hitting the frame of the sunroof. Half inch more clearance and it'd be the start of a long lasting relationship. Ah well, there are other fish in the sea. By the way, if...

Here's my three. there's a theme to this 1. Lack of Headroom 2. Sunroof isn't optional thus lack of headroom 3. Because the sunroof isn't optional It can't accommodate my 6'4 height thus lack of headrom

Was told by sales guy that they've refused a $5000 deposit and with 5k adm markup on the first Type R they're getting. He claimed that all the dealers were going to hold 24 hour silent auctions, winner gets em, on their first Type Rs. Obviously don't know how true that is.

Oh yes, absolutely. Cranked it down all the way.
