  1. Civic Sport Touring 6MT vs Si

    If you enjoy spirited driving, there really is no comparison. Si handles appreciably better, and LSD alone is worth it. I'd love a Hatch Si, but I'm not going to sacrifice the playfulness of the Si for it. As to Hyundai's, I've owned and used many, and would not hesitate to buy again. Last one...
  2. Ever surprised by who you see driving an Si?

    I've observed another Si twice in my neck of the woods, and both were driven by an older guy. As an older(ish) guy myself, that makes it 3 for 3 :) I think the manual is a deterrent for a lot of younger drivers. As a side note, I've seen more CTRs than Si's around here.
  3. Refreshed 2020 Civic Si

    I wonder what it does to the resale value of the older ones. $700 increase is a steal for LEDs and full Honda Sensing suite, but with Si being a niche model in the lineup, how many buyers actually want the electronics?
  4. Is it even worth tuning the Si?

    My Si is the slowest straight-line car I've had in probably 10 years. I traded a 6th gen Camaro for it. I enjoy it for what it is, and have absolutely no regrets. Miss RWD a bit, but the precise and light handling of the Si is a joy, and the practicality for a daily can't be beaten, especially...
  5. What is your single, favorite mod?

    Definitely my Mugen shifter knob. Mega touch appeal, and looks great too. Extra large below for your viewing pleasure...
  6. 1990 Eagle Talon AWD vs my new type R

    One of my biggest car regrets back in the day - trading my '88 Conquest TSi for a '95 Talon TSi AWD... Faster, but nowhere near as fun. Of course my first car was an '83 Challenger Technica (the pre-Starion 2.6l non-turbo, with digital dash and talking computer...), so I'm a bit biased.
  7. How do you afford your mods?

    When I was in my 20s, most of the money for mods and toys came from eBay. I spent a lot of time at garage sales, and back then eBay was awesome. When that dried up (people wised up), I was fortunate enough to start making good money to afford what I wanted. Sometimes I miss the thrill of having...
  8. armrest fabric collects too much dirt

    Time to resurrect an old thread - question for anybody that installed the leather covers for the center/door armrests. How are they holding up? Staying in place, wear, etc?
  9. Tint driver side reflection issue

    Part of my purchase was tint. Just got it installed, and have a big problem - the inside of the driver side window is like a mirror, making the outside mirror hard to see when sunny, and just looks bad. Never had a problem like this on last few cars I got tint on. Does anyone else have this...
  10. Type R As First Manual Transmission Car?

    I don't think that are many better cars to learn a manual on than the Si or R. Definitely not a bad decision.
  11. New '19 Si Sedan owner - time to start modding!

    Thanks, I'm pretty methodical with my mods, but all I've done over the last 12+ years was bikes, and I was a GTI fanatic before, so I feel like I'm starting from scratch here. For exhaust, I'm looking for weight savings, looks, and sound. Don't mind spending money to make sure it doesn't...
  12. The Si deserves better tires

    Sentra Nismo is just such a sad testament to what Sentra used to be... I'm old enough to have owned ta brand new 1994 Sentra SE-R, still one of my favorite cars. Oh how it has fallen...
  13. Why change the Si's shift knob?

    Still don't know if I will change it, but getting my hand burned in the summer sucks, and the little condom my wife made for it just looks so wrong... I do like to look and size of the stock knob though.
  14. 2019 Veloster N

    Almost same here - I test-drove GTI and the Veloster Turbo R-Spec before the Si I bought, and the Veloster just felt slow. I'll miss the hatchback part (why doesn't Si come in hatchback??) but in the end, it was a pretty easy decision. N could've changed that, but apparently Hyundai dealers...
  15. why did you buy a civic?

    My new Si is going to be my fun project car, which can still drop kids off at school in the morning. Short story time - back in the day I've done a lot with GTIs, and missed those days. I was actually looking at leasing an MB C43 now, when our intern bought herself a new Civic EX. I got a ride...
  16. How much should a 19 si go for OTD? Any good dealerships in California? NorCal & SoCal

    TruCar is definitely worth a try but I've noticed one thing - two of three Honda dealers that I got TruCar price for tried to make me pay of adds they put on all their cars. Almost $2k! Cargo mat, nitrogen, tint, mud flaps, etc. Crazy prices too, as in $299 for a cargo mat, where the Honda one...
  17. How much should a 19 si go for OTD? Any good dealerships in California? NorCal & SoCal

    Probably because with decent credit they can make more money on the finance side.
  18. How many miles do you guys have on your si?

    212 miles... My commute is under 3 miles, but planning on going to the Blue Ridge Parkway this weekend to put some real miles on her...
  19. New '19 Si Sedan owner - time to start modding!

    Yeah, I'll be ordering KTuner this weekend, together with the CAI. Need to do a lot more reading on the exhaust before I commit. Thanks!
  20. New '19 Si Sedan owner - time to start modding!

    Thanks, great to hear! I think I'm going to do it sooner rather than later just for the piece of mind if anything.
