SI vs NON-SI

[VarmintCong]

The Si is a very comfortable ride


I've driven both the Si and the Sport Hatch and it's a night and day difference as the Si seats are really top notch while the Sport Hatch seats leave a lot to be desired. However, I wouldn't mind having the Sport Hatch because I really, really could use the extra room.

Thanks - it's hard to find an Si to even sit in, but 2020s should be out soon. I suspect the next gen Si will come in hatchback since every body style will be made in the US. Hatch makes up 20% of Civic sales, so an Si would make sense.

Don't feel like waiting 2 more years though, my 2017 will have 120k miles by then.

I’m gonna knock Swindon every chance I get until the plant is closed down. There’s just no pride in building the hatch there looking at some of quality issues with those cars. And Honda sells 10 cars here for every car that sells in the EU and its market share is shrinking there.

Good to know they’re waking up to the failed experiment and will be building the hatch in the US. Can’t wait to see the next gen Civic. SiR (hatch) and multiple R trims, bring ‘em on!

Mine's been shockingly unreliable in some respects, yes. I expected that being a British car, lol.

I totally agree. A lot of the Swindon made hatches look like some bloke who took the piss the night before just goes up and down the line with a buffer ruining the paint jobs.

Guys, I hate to tell you this but whether it's Swindon or the plants in Canada or the US, the quality control on these cars leaves a lot to be desired.

Is that Nellis AFB in your profile pic?

Maybe you don’t corner that hard lol

I do. but it's not on public roads like a Jackass. Most people who buy si's never use their potential

Yep, that's the Mig-29 Fulcrum(at Nellis Air Force Base) behind my Si.

For sure, and I can see why, because it's amazing. Kinda makes me want to get a Fit some day as a project car.

Fit with SI engine swap

Can we put the si rod on the non si?

I know I dont and the whole reason I keep it stock. Maybe I get on it when merging onto the hwy or pulling out into traffic, but I dont drive crazy. There is a 2014/15 white coupe that is modified that runs through the street I live on in the early hours of the morning. I see it while walking my dog. The street I live on is a 30 mph residential neighborhood and this guy runs it up to 50 or 60. Now that is a jackass. One day either he is going to hit someone or something.

I'm tuned but I mostly drive conservatively. When I do air it out on the highway though, that extra power is fantastic. It also helps in day to day traffic congestion because the lag is now mostly gone.

As far as driving in residential neighborhoods, I go slow. Years ago, a speed demon in a GTO killed my dog right in front of my house. Folks who drive like that are complete assholes.

do any of your. shifts feel notchy going into gears with yoour si?

Usually is a little until it warms up

Hatchback, no moonroof and the look. That's why I don't trade my Sport for an Si. I prefer the hatch cause my trunk's always full, and prefer the hatch look to the sedan. The moonroof means my head touches the ceiling.

This aged beautifully. Couldn't resist the Si I see.
