I've been saying this for so long.

Like they could've easily put the base model at like 190, the Sport trims at 210/220, and the Si at like 240/250 with no impacts on the Type R sales
I agree with you. If you look at competitors, mainly the Veloster N that is coming with 275hp from factory for about $2k more than the SI it makes me think they should have had 250-275 in the SI with a much stronger clutch and stronger internals. They know a large percentage are going to mod these cars, why not just embrace it and make things stronger. if they did, a whole bunch of customers would be raving about it.

Type R could have had 350-400 easily and give the M2 a run for its money. Granted, i'm talking from an unknowledgeable standpoint and I'm sure the honda engineers did things for a certain reason.

Then again, my civic before my 10th gen SI got 190k miles and was never in the shop once and that's ultimately why I choose Honda again.

Literally. Like make the base models the reliable commuter car the civic is known for. The rest of the tiers really could've been upped since even Honda themselves know how much enthusiasts mod these cars.

It would have to be the TMPS as thing goes off even after I do the calibration. I pretty much learned to live with it. sigh

replace the halogens with some decent LED bulbs and you'll be much happier with the illumination at night.
Thanks very much for the suggestion from a while back, I actually made the switch! Visibility is A LOT better at night now.

For anyone else that has the halogen bulbs, I highly recommend Boslla Minimal H11's for the low beam. You can find them on Amazon, though the high beams are currently sold out. I've had them for a couple of months and they've been working great, no issues. Took around 10 minutes to install, basic plug and twist and you're done! When you twist them in all the way the beams are centered and lined up perfectly. My fridge is messing up the line but they are focused in a straight line, highly recommend!

A new hate recently popped up for me: The road noise. I guess that would be a mixture of blame on the sound insulation and the stock tires.

I always thought the road noise was fairly bad. But after having just taken off my snow tire/wheel setup and threw the stockers back on, it's so much more noticeable. The snow tires were definitely quieter. I'm guessing the softer rubber plays a role in that.

It's really fucking slow.

It handles fantastic, but since I can't tune it for the class I race, it's slower than every pickup I've ever owned, I constantly wish it came with 230ish hp at least

Same. I even had the wheel bearings checked to make sure there was nothing wrong mechanically.

How about the MSRP mark up, or "Market Adjustment" for Type R's

Strange, I actually find the road noise in my car pretty quiet for an economy car. Definitely a huge improvement over the previous Civics that were infamous for loud road noise.
