This is just a terrible time to buy a used car. You're better off getting your son a new Civic hatch, it will hold it's value very well so it's worth it.

There's nothing special enough about the 11th Gen to upgrade from my perfectly fine 2017 Si. Plus, Honda is clearly pushing everyone into the higher versions like EX, EX-T. However, I just found out that the 11th Gen Sport Hatch has the turbo, I thought it was going to have the N.A. like the...

I say If it doesn't hit your budget very hard then go for it. I'll also say that you've already got a very nice car. The outgoing Type R is great but I really dislike the Infotainment system, which Honda didn't support very well and are now abandoning. No, it's not the worst Infotainment system...

I've had my used 17 Si for 3 years, driven it for 32,000 miles. I've only had to change battery and do an oil change every 6 months. I have a few squeaks and a little oil leak but it's a salvage. I'm about to sell and move overseas but if I was going to stay in the U.S. I feel I could get...

ebhaynz said: I even drove to Houston to get Scotty Kilmer's advice. Scotty got under my Si and said as long as it's a drop or two don't worry about it, just change oil often. No, and that's why I drove the 1,800 miles in the first place. I was sure Scotty would put my car in one of his videos...

Thanks, going to a different weight oil is not a bad idea. I've talked to a couple of good mechanics, I even drove to Houston to get Scotty Kilmer's advice. Scotty got under my Si and said as long as it's a drop or two don't worry about it, just change oil often. Funny, I just got my oil changed...

I have a policy to NEVER step on a dealer lot ever again, not even for a "free" oil change. This just keeps my life stress free. I've got a used Si, change oil regularly, had to get a new battery and that's all I've had to do for my used 2017 Si. A dealership will just usually lie about...

37,000 on my 17 Si I bought it as salvage 3 years ago. The only problem I have is it leaks 1 or 2 drops of oil every day I think it's rear main seal. This is the 2nd engine because of the wreck that caused it to be salvaged and sold at auction. I've driven it on three separate 2,000 mile road...

Wow, congrats on your new ride. Although I love my Si, your hatchback, with that exact color, is the Civic I really wanted all along! I just think by far it's the best looking, most practical Civic out of all of them. If you have the manual my head is going to explode. As far as any mods, the...

I'd say around 5-6 years and from now on I'm only buying used. The dealerships are so horrendous I vow to never step on another lot again, not even for recall or maint.

You'll lose A LOT if you trade it in. The dealers are so tricky they'll screw you for BOTH the trade-in and the new car you buy. Instead of losing thousands and thousands of dollars sell it private party. The blue book is approx 22-23.6K if it's in excellent condition/decent miles--but may be...

8200 is right on the money: ASiM!

These oil concerns are probably just the auto and oil corporations keeping their product relevant(and more expensive). Best advice is simply to change your oil every six months and forget about it.

I just replaced my battery at 35K but this car has lived through a summer in Florida and 2 summers here in Vegas. Heat just ruins batteries.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I think from now on I'm just going to stick with the Si's of the world. The Sport Hatch looks great but not the quality I want. I see my future car being another Si with the outside change a Stinger. There's not a lot of other options out there that interest me...

Congrats, I know you'll love your Si! Just curious, does the Sport now seem lame in comparison? For example, would it seem crazy to go from a Si to a Sport because the driving experience is so much different?

Since the 11th Gen is right around the corner, I thought I'd give a final grade to the 10th Gen Si: Driving Characteristics: A Comfort/Seats: B+ Fit/Finish: B Tunability: A+ Reliability: A- Dealer Satisfaction: F-(like always) Overall Value: A+ Final judgement: The 10th Gen Si is probably the...

A long time mechanic told me this is the rule of thumb: 1. If dipstick shows normal level, it's obviously fine but make sure to change oil every 6 months. 2. If dipstick shows oil overflow, it's fine as long as you change oil every 6 months. 3. If dipstick show low level, immediately add...

The clutch is a warranty item. The Honda mechanic will know if it's broke because of abuse or not.

I am on this like a hobo on a hotdog!
