Hi Guys,
I watched the video posted by Hondata comparing the 10th Gen EX-T to a 9th Gen Si... I was a little skeptical... I'd like to see a run from a dead stop and from lower speeds, which no one has posted
So I decided to try each one for myself. The 9th Si is FUN, its engaging, I SO Enjoyed driving it. The 10th EX-T is plush, smooth, modern tech galore! It has linear power, which is expected with the turbo.... The only time the 10th felt faster was right around 70mph it just pushes hard it made me say "Oh WOW..thats quick right there"...and then it kind of tapered off....
IMO the 9th Si is the quicker, sportier car, WAY more engaging.... I didnt want to take it back... the 10th was "sleepy"...nice power... and I think from a 50mph roll it might be quicker than a stock 9th Si due to the infinite gearing of the CVT... but from a dig, lower speed roll and a run to mid triple digits... I'd say 9th Si....
Fun factor = 9th Si for sure
With no Si for 2016 and me needing a new car ASAP I will likely buy a used 9th Si
