My girlfriend hates my Si and I understand why

[REBELXSi]

Thanks for making me appreciate my wife even more.

Must say mine is not a car person or driver either yet I never heard one complaint about all my POS tiny junk cars over the years, all manual. We had a 96 cavalier, 97 sunfire, 2006 lancer and now a 2016 civic.

All manual, all base, all rough junk cars, zero complaints.

The only complaint I got was spending too much money getting the 2010 Charger when I did.

Sorry about your luck OP.

Geez you should never be in charge of car purchases lol

I could not agree more about your 2nd and 4th point.. Although this is my first manual car.. Shifting this car smoothly CONSISTENTLY is hard. I've ran this by multiple people so I know its not just us..(makes me feel better..LOL)

I can't say I've looked into other cars considering I've only had this one for a year.. I may get into something else.. Who knows..

How much is an Uber back home from Galveston? She should have found out.

Sorry dude, but I'm not sure what kind of replies you were expecting....

Where is your girlfriends car?

Sort of in the same vein, my family doesn't like riding in my car. The ride is too stiff to them even in comfort mode when the road starts sucking (often here in PA) or it's too bouncy. The seats don't lend well to our family history of terrible back issues either. Unfortunately no butt warmers to make them feel better

That being said, they love the amount of power it has when I go to pass someone... lol

You really need to post pics of your Si and your girlfriend so we can judge which to keep.

I’ve noticed releasing the clutch 90% of the way 1/3 second early pausing to the rev match point then fully releasing the clutch lands a smooth shift. Albeit that’s too much attention off the road IMO. I’ve been wondering if the clutch delay valve delete would improve this experience.

Someone that refuses to drive has zero say in what I drive. Actually, even if they do drive their opinion isn't worth much as it's my car, not theirs.

Let her GO! Can you imagine the amount of money you could've saved or spent on the car without her in your life. Just wait until you're married, all downhill from that point on. If she doesn't like the car, she should get her own, or take Uber, better yet let her run.

My gf loves my car. She does make fun of it though after I put on the MAPerformance exhaust. Compared to my Corvette, she says it sounds like "ffffaaaaarrrrrrrtttttt" ?

Previously I owned an 02' eclipse, started dating my wife around '12. Decided I needed a new car. The wife previously worked at a local ford dealer, they made me a "deal" on a '13 focus lease return. Wife thought it was ok during first couple months, then the tranny and other issues started coming up, and them she couldn't ride in it without getting sick. Hasn't ridden in it since, and doesn't plan on it till we drive to sign the papers on the new civic when it arrives.

Guess you gotta throw the whole girlfriend away

I’m going to pull out my:

...for a moment.

I’d take a long hard look at not just this car but other things in your relationship you’re apologizing for. If there’s things you like/love that your always being criticized about... do you want it to be that way forever? I’ve been with my old lady a long time... but had several girlfriends before I happened upon this one. Some of them were great. Some not so much. I’d never settle for someone who wants to nitpick me to death.

If you take things in your life you like/love and try to change them for a person when there’s nearly 4 billion other eligible ladies in the world... and certainly thousands or more within a short drive unless you’re living in Alaska or on a mountain in Wyoming. Just saying, take a look at the criticism beyond this car. You’re going to have some good fights with someone who’s 99.9% accepting of everything about you. If something as little as a car you like is a point of contention... man, I can’t imagine the fights when there are real problems. She’s going have to accept you for who you are and get over the little randomness that irks other or go find Mr. Perfect. Thinking about someone flailing their body around on every shift to oversell any lack of smoothness and bitching about getting in and out of the car would rapidly be someone who’d be walking their ass home at the end of a date.

Life’s too short to spend all your time with someone who’s a whiner. She could be an 11 in the looks department and still not be worth it.
