Hey, before making such statements about “people like me”, make sure you read my post paying attention to all details: car has been properly warmed on highway, it had around 40mi on it, I didn’t floor neither pushed hard, max i saw on tachometer was 5k. Nothing wrong with with doing it at this mileage. Flooring dead cold engine - bad on any car, new or old.Forget what I think about the car.
I think that I'm so glad I waited on a '19 Si just so I could put down a deposit and get one brand new, because of people like you who push a car in a test drive when it's not broken in yet.
Thank goodness nobody else could fuck up my vehicle beforehand.
I read the entire thread before making my post, much less dissecting yours.Hey, before making such statements about “people like me”, make sure you read my post paying attention to all details: car has been properly warmed on highway, it had around 40mi on it, I didn’t floor neither pushed hard, max i saw on tachometer was 5k.

300! Nice, do you have a custom tune and flex fuel? What clutch did you go with?I sold my BMW and Bought the Si (as a commuter car). I was a little disappointed at the quality of everything on the Honda compared to BMW, but finally realized its a Honda and the differences arent really comparable. My Honda is easily upgraded with many performance tricks. I have added a few of these, exhaust, air intake, chipped, and I think this car is Fantastic. It is quick and it handles Great. Pushing 300hp, I dont like front wheel drive is the one down fall. But, for the price, ease of upgrades, cost of ownership I am very happy.
So by your logic, no one should push a car on a test drive and hope for the best?Forget what I think about the car.

Thanks for putting words in my mouth. Perhaps you should read my post between that one and this one.So by your logic, no one should push a car on a test drive and hope for the best?
The struggle is real.Also, holy shitballs it was hard to get in reverse. I don’t remember this being the case on my hatch even before i swapped the fluid with amsoil
you are acting like a bitch.Thanks for putting words in my mouth. Perhaps you should read my post between that one and this one.
I never said anything to insult the man. I was stating why I made the decision on getting a brand new vehicle, knowing that people would otherwise push it to the point of improper break-in.
Why am I explaining this twice? My initial post was meant to be a one-and-done. Sorry that is has obviously been misconstrued. The "people like you" was taken the wrong way. If I meant to be cruel, I would have said "dickheads like you."
This is ridiculous. I'm only in this thread now to exonerate myself. I have not thrown out a single insult. In fact, so far all I've seen are people telling me I'm not reading full posts and I'm calling insults, when all I've gotten in return is lack of reading comprehension and insults.you are acting like a bitch.

Chill out. Nobody gives a flying fawk. Go watch some superbowlThis is ridiculous. I'm only in this thread now to exonerate myself. I have not thrown out a single insult.

Let me reiterate one more time: people can test drive cars the way that they want (or that the dealership would let them); after all, it is a car you are going to spend tens of thousands of dollars on, and you want it to be what you expect without any buyer's remorse. I understand why people like the OP test drive like they do. Heck, the dealer even offered for me to gun it going onto the ramp when I drove it.
I'm just using his post as an anecdote as validation for why I bought mine new. Nothing more, nothing less. Nothing insulting, nothing misread. It. Just. Is. Let it go, and free me of being painted as the villain here. If this thread locks, I was not the cause of it.
Hm... I've never struggled to get my car into reverse...The struggle is real.
