B/c I had been driving minivans and SUV's for far too long. Being married with children were to blame... Anyway, it was love at first sight when it came to 10th gens in 2016/17. The only generation that's ever happened for me. I finally pulled the trigger in 2019 when I found a rebuilt '18 Sport Hatch (CVT 4 wife/paddles for me) for half the price of a new one. The mechanicals all checked out, and it's been the best car I've ever owned. I look forward to driving it everyday.Just curious what everyone’s motivations were. Mine was: great mpg, it looks classy, reliability.
I bought a new 86 Civic Si hatch; you’re not alone. All of my successive cars have been Civic Si hatches, except for the last. From your R to my Sport, they’re all great cars.Dating myself...drove an '87 CRX Si in high school and college. Not exactly a horsepower monster but that car was PLANTED to the road. That's when I fell in love with Honda. After that finally kicked the bucket I drove an assortment of vehicles due to financial and availability reasons over the years. When the Type R was introduced I knew I had to have one.
