I'm sure that I am not the only guy here with a CDL. Most truck drivers and machinery operators can float a few gears. Having owned several different brands of vehicles with manual transmission I can tell you floating a Honda 6 speed is f ing hard. Feeling out the gear steps perfectly is almost...

I think trading cars every year is idiotic and a serious addiction

Unless you have corrosive material on the car it's not going to hurt it to simply not wash it. We never wash a few of our cars and my uncle has a 2009 Silverado that has for sure never been washed, kept outside and the paint looks great except for of course some rust in the rocker areas...

Don't take anything through a scratch o matic.

Oh God this is evo 8 all over again...

Depends on how you drive it. Big pro of rwd and awd is power slides and general fun around corners where the rear end can step out. Fwd has its limitations. The miatas is a crazy small car and the civic is pretty damn practical...

3800 miles in two years? Not sure I would have bought a car at that rate

Yeah I meant to say everyone has this issue based on driver error, most enthusiast car forums have a thread spanning 3 years with a topic of random gear grindings... I'm sure you have tons of experience with heavy machinery and trucks. I know I do and I also fully understand how a manual...

All of the transmissions have the issue don't play a doubting Thomas. It's not driver error. Honda has always had weaker transmissions. My 2006 Si had the third gear issue, very annoying. Eventually a rebuild kit or a company will offer a service to rebuild them. At least the engine seems to...

Dealer here is still awaiting 2019 models

I had a 2005 STi as my first manual car and any high performance isn't the ideal first manual experience. To be able to get the car down well and to drive on the limit you need to understand how to drive manual pretty well. Honestly these questions are common from newb manual drivers. IE what...

With the prices getting higher every year many people cannot afford 41k otd. You can get an 18 for 38otd and the 17 was less at MSRP. I can afford the car and I'm not sure I want to pay 38 for another 300hp car after having 2 STi and three Evolutions over the years. But! The honda is more...

With it being cable shift and the gears being so small and fine toothed it's not going to knock around like a Eaton 10 speed. A chirp, buzz, slight hand roughness is what you will get when the synchronization isn't perfect. After work I used to float the gears in my 2009 Si and 2010 gti and...

What's wrong with the transmission?

Honda has numbed the steering down for torque steer with the dual axis front end, you won't feel it tug like the old cars.

I know, I have friends that still have them but I've had bad luck with them. On that same note family members have had some really good luck with chevy as where I had bad luck with chevy. Uncle had a 305 powered truck, 750k My wife's trailblazer had crazy electrical problems, our ex rental...

For me personally Honda engines have been hit or miss. 1996 civic one cylinder had more wear than the others and it went out. 1994 civic ran great until it didn't anymore. 2006 Si was a good car overall but used some oil. 2009 Si was a Great car. 2015 Si drank oil like it was going out of style...

Wow that's a lot of oil consumption.

Yeah the car is secretly awd

He probably didn't know what you were talking about. No Honda has ever had real downforce, except the new nsx
