  1. my 2020 Si still on sale at Carmax 4 months later at $30k

    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...
  2. 2020 Civic Si to 2022 Focus ST Line X

    Sold my 2020 Si sedan (loved that car) cause we moved to Taiwan for a 2-3 year work assignment. Think we will take the opportunity to get a car we can’t get in the US, a Focus ST Line Lommel X. It’s $30k, 185 hp turbo 1.5L 3 cylinder, 8 speed auto only. 12” digital cockpit. There’s a 6mT Focus...

  5. Does your hood say "GOOD" on it when snow melts from hot engine?

    I noticed when my Si's hood had a layer of snow or frost and the engine warms up, it says "GOOD" on the hood. My kids were laughing - is this by design?
  6. Civic vs Toyota V6 6mT

    In the new Lotus Emira that is. https://www.evo.co.uk/lotus/203463/lotus-emira-makes-world-debut-all-new-coupe-to-rival-alpine-a110?_mout=1&refid=171137E7DC9C29343891193E445E8948&utm_campaign=evo_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter I found my replacement for the Si. THis is...
  7. Trading my 2020 Si for Mazda 3 (or Suzuki Swift Sport)

    We have to move to Taiwan, so my beloved 2020 Si is gonna get sold this year. :( We'll need a car in Taiwan, damn cars are expensive. Anything European is super expensive, an A3 or 1 series BMW is $50k US, VW Golfs are like crazy expensive, even used. 2018 116i is like $35k. Get outta here...
  8. Saw a minivan on top of a Civic sedan today

    Crazy, today we drove by an accident that happened a couple minutes before we got there, on a 35 mph two way road. A minivan full of people was sitting on top of a 10th gen Civic sedan at a 30 degree angle. Looked like the Civic rear ended the minivan probably full speed and submarined it. I...
  9. Kona N confirmed for US summer 2021

    I hadn't heard official news but here it is. No manual, but FWD or AWD not confirmed yet. I'd probably still take the 2022 Type R or Si hatch over this, just cause of no manual. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a35183258/hyundai-kona-n-prototype-specs/
  10. Options for cars in Taiwan?

    Anyone know a good website or anything for cars in Taiwan? We might have to move there for a couple years and will need a car. Has to be big enough for family, so a Golf or Focus is probably fine but Fiesta is too small (not having seen one in person). Would love to try something fun that we...
  11. Don't like emergency braking in Si

    I've noticed a few times when I have to brake hard in the SI, I don't like it at all. I think it's the ABS, it's very aggressive and non-linear, like it's grabby or something, also sounds very unpleasant. I've experienced ABS going on in many cars but this is the first one I really didn't...
  12. Does Carplay in the Civic just suck? Worth replacing?

    My 2020 Si is my first experience with Carplay, other than some rental or loaner cars. It's incredibly buggy. I start driving with Waze, and it takes anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes before it can find itself using the GPS. Then often it'll lose itself for 30 seconds every few minutes and try to...
  13. I think the LSD should be standard on all Civics

    Just recently went from 2017 Sport hatch to 2020 Si, and the LSD gives you so much more grip in the rain, it moves the car 2/3rd of the way toward AWD imo. I think Honda should make it standard. Do what Subaru does, emphasize the improved traction and safety, point out that you get improved...
  14. Civic hatch vs Kona N-Line

    This is gonna be a good competition once the N-Line is available. We'll probably either get the 200 hp 1.6L from the Elantra GT N-Line, or a newer version of that engine. Sounds like AWD will be an option. Hopefully manual, and not just the 7 speed DCT. Perforance in the heavier Kona should be...
  15. Need 17" winter wheel/tire setup for Si?

    I need a winter set for the new Si, thinking 215/50R17 snow tires, maybe Nokian or Continental, and 17x7.5 wheels. (it's hard to find 17x7 on Tirerack which seems more ideal). Anyone know a good website besides Tirerack for viewing wheels? Are 215s ok on 7.5" wheels for winter? Leaning toward...
  16. Massachusetts Sold: Winter setup from 2017 Civic - Rial Milano + Conti snows - $300

    Traded my 2017 Civic hatch for an Si so these won't fit the Si. Rial Milano 16x6.5 (offset 38) w/ 205/60R16 Conti Winter Si snow tires. $1100 new for the set w/ tires. Beautiful wheels, no longer available in the US, I wish I could buy new ones for the Si. No curb rash or bends. Snow tires...
  17. Traded my 2017 Sport hatch 6mT for 2020 Si sedan

    Finally got my car today. ? It's a little anti-climactic cause the Si is so much like my Sport hatch, but it feels like a better version of my Sport: - the shifter is really nice - bit shorter, heavier, and more positive, less slop. I don't think my Sport 6mT changed at all over 88k miles, it's...
  18. Interview with 10gen hatchback designer

    This interview with the designer of the hatchback says the 2022 Civic will debut as a hatch. Interesting article whether that's correct or not. Apparently there was a lot of resistance within Honda to the design of the hatch. https://coolhunting.com/design/honda-civic-hatchback-2022/amp/
  19. Who's still buying a 2020 Si sedan?

    I'm personally still going to buy the 2020 Si sedan, even though I'd rather have a Si hatch, and that seems likely to be available in 11th gen. Because - I can get $2100 off a 2020, vs close to MSRP in late 2021 if it's even out. I got only $500 off my Sport hatch in Oct. 2016 cause it was one...
  20. Snow tires advice for Si - 225 width on 8" wheels?

    I have money down on a 2020 Si, and will need a winter wheel/snow tire set. I could use the 17" OZs from my Sport, and trade it in wearing my 16" winter wheel set. Not sure how much that'll affect trade-in vs trading it wearing the 17 OZs. Or trading it in with both sets. Question is the OZs...
