I have been in and out of the enthusiast car scene for 15 years or so. My only other FWD was back in '05 when I bought a brand new Doge SRT-4 which I modded quite a bit (421whp). Since then I have had a RX-8 for 4 years and a IS300 for 2 years. So coming back to FWD is a bit of a change. That said... the MPG and features for price of the Si makes it a no brainer.
Fresh from the dealership... Mods to come.
8 month of ownership update:
My MPG is not as good as I would have hoped but I only drive 0.8 miles for my commute in the city so it is what it is. I do however get 39-42 mpg on road trips so thats nice. I have put 5900 miles on it since December and have had no issues with a/c or cv boot as some owners have reported. Also have had it running ktuner 23psi map since 980 miles no issues there either.
Have done a good bit of mods for my needs since December.
Installed:
Skunk2 lowering springs
Ktuner v1.2 w/tuner view on my factory HU
Carbon trim pieces and shift ball
ESR SR12 Wheels in 18x9.5 +40
MAPerformance Intake
Some China engine side covers
Depo clear corner lights
To be installed:
MAPperformance catless DP - Its been too hot to do this yet.
Stage 2 tune
