Yeah, I did the math. I by no means drive a lot (roughly 8500 miles a year). But I calculated total fuel/electric costs to be around $360 with the Prius while the Si costs around $1000. I realize that it'll take years to cover the hit I'm taking in selling a new car, but it is what it is...

After a little under 12 months of ownership, I recently sold my 2018 Si Sedan /w 8400 miles on it. Just for fun, a few weeks back I had Carvana do an online appraisal of my Si...and they offered $21,600. I was a little taken aback by that and did some research on them but it appeared that they...

Where did you hear this? If so, that'd be pretty useful. My father can only run ethanol-free in his vintage motorcycles and has to drive more than hour away to buy it.

My lifetime fuel economy is 33.2mpg. I live in the city and most often get about 22mpg since it's nonstop awful traffic. Though that makes up a majority of my trips, it only accounts for about 40-50% of my total miles per year. The weekend trips where I'm on the highway 100% of the time getting...

90% of everyone leases? I was under the impression that about 1 in 4 people lease their vehicles.

Why not?

A lightly used second generation Honda Ridgeline. I got a 2008 as a beater last year for yardwork/hauling bicycles/bad weather/moving the dog around. I've ended up use it more than the Si... If I had to commute to work by car, things would be different as I couldn't live with that fuel economy...

How does the intake filter affect your allergies? I understand the reasoning behind the cabin filter.

After a year of ownership, I put ceramic coating on my Si. I used Crystal Serum Light and it was relatively easy (other than all the preparation necessary). It also helped that I bought enough coating so that I could use my 11 year old 180k mile Ridgeline as a guinea pig. Happy with the results...

10 months in...7800 miles. I don’t drive much. Typically bike to work.

I owned a 2005 STi for a few years. This was over a decade ago though so my memory is pretty foggy. Looking back on it now...and unfairly comparing it to modern vehicles: the ride quality sucked, the fuel economy sucked, and the merely adequate handling was made up for by insane grip. Its...

Seems like most people get the parts piecemeal. Less so people who have the entire package due to the price. Personally, I don't find any of visual upgrades even remotely appealing. If I lived somewhere with better roads, then I'd maybe consider the suspension upgrade once the factory dampers go.

Blossoms are starting in DC.

Good call on 3 years. Car payments do suck, but .9% financing is a gift that helps you get over the pain of depreciation -- I too am planning to pay off in 3 years. I've considered paying off early a few times already but I'd rather the money be working elsewhere..

Very few cars are an investment in the classical sense. Most are rapidly depreciating assets. People can convince themselves that buying a new car every few years is the price to pay for their hobby. Let them. Without them, there wouldn't be used cars that have already suffered the worst few...

It's an economy car. They sell hundreds of thousands a year. They're ubiquitous, reliable, and for the most part slow. For people lacking in self-confidence who need their vehicle to be a status symbol, it's not an appealing option. They'll be sure to let you know why, because that's how they...

I got it two days after ordering likely because I only live 180 miles away from PRL. I like it. Install was easy. High quality parts. Sounds as good as everyone says. No problems since installing it a week ago. Torque off idle seems to have taken a bit of a hit which I’m not crazy about. It...

1) 2008 Honda Fit 2) 2008 Honda Ridgeline 3) 2018 Si Sedan 4) 1997 BMW M3 coupe 5) 2001 Mazda Miata 6) 2005 Subaru STi 7) 2004 VW Jetta GLI I'll always love the Fit and the Ridgeline because they're two brilliantly utilitarian vehicles in a way the Si could never be. That being said, the Si is...

I probably said that at some point. They largely Not with the street MAF option.

I think I posted somewhere that, as whole, most intakes are bought to be a noise maker, not because they're fixing any fundamental flaw with modern airboxes. I still think that's true - I'm guilty myself. The difference is that PRL knows what they're doing and designed a MAF housing so that at...
