  1. Woke up to wheels stolen

    I am so sorry to hear about this. Maybe the not-so-smart thieves thought it was a debadged Type R that suddenly showed up in the lot, with the red H and all.... :D
  2. CTR Owners in CT?

    I saw a PMM CTR today in the Southbury area. I saw the red H in the front, but only thought s/he had modded the Si. Then, I saw the wing in the rear view mirror and I gulped air. It was the first in-the-wild CTR I witnessed!
  3. Any owners here with the 2.0 engine here?

    Yeah, it's understandable, but sad to me that most consumers only look at numbers. This engine is the underdog that gets overlooked. ;) I drive my 2.0 manual hard and I still get 37 mpg in the summer. I have a feeling a turbo won't be the efficient one for me; very little of my driving is...
  4. Any owners here with the 2.0 engine here?

    I have also wondered whether people really love the 2.0. We don't hear much. Honda is promoting the turbo all the time, and pretty much no one has reviewed the 2.0. With a tried and true 2.0 and MT, I never feel under-powered. No regrets.
  5. 2 Years Later... New Si Owner (Finally)

    Finally, you pulled the trigger on the Si. Congratulations! Very excited for you. :thumbsup:
  6. Civic Si press reviews (dates and links) compilation

    I think that e-brake comment was meant to be a joke in a way. He's making fun of "changing things that worked just for the sake of it," thing. On the Impala I rented a while ago, the switch was sideways with no labels. THAT was annoying because I never knew if it was on or not, and the light...
  7. Mr. Goose's Si review

    Edit: I just remembered about the Si review compilation thread. I'm sorry for crowding with a new one.
  8. Initial impressions from a first-time Si owner

    Oh, Z knows. ;) And, he was half jokingly talking about driving with other cars normally on public roads, minding his own way. Or, wait. Are you secretly racing behind our backs, Z??? :D
  9. Initial impressions from a first-time Si owner

    This. This is why I get frustrated with some car enthusiasts of today. They think speed and/or hp are the only thing that defines a quality sports(y) car, calling the Si, 86/BRZ, or Miata slow, or dismiss them due to lack of power. Every single driver in the world prefers a certain kind of...
  10. I wonder if Honda knew...

    Great story! It's amazing to see how much it has evolved in that time. :)
  11. 9th gen Si vs 10th gen Si, a short comparison.

    I don't sense any negativity or complaining here, as no one is calling this Si POS. Honda deserves to know exactly why some like it and some don't, and members are making that opinion known. Disappointed or not, we are all Honda fans at heart. :thumbsup:
  12. MK7 VW GTI Owner, interested in the new Si...

    Interesting tidbit - a member here works for the steel factory that provides the sheet metal for Honda. He has mentioned before that Honda uses high quality steel which allows them to make it thinner, and thus, lighter.
  13. Lacking Character - My (long) Si Review

    :rofl: That's certainly extreme! It's hard to ask any big organization made up of hundreds and thousands of people to run efficiently and consider balance. Hence the problems we have, but I digress...
  14. Lacking Character - My (long) Si Review

    Forgive me I haven't read all the responses, but wow, some heated discussion is going on here which certainly shows that we are passionate about cars and/or Honda. It puts a smile on my face. :) Thank you to all of you for sharing your opinions, experiences, and driving feel. Like the Si or...
  15. Lacking Character - My (long) Si Review

    I never realized that until now, but I have another test drive today and I am going in with an open mind. :) This may be a polarizing opinion, but I prefer not to use that term because it insinuates that caring about the greenery on Earth is a bad thing. Taking care of environment is...
  16. Lacking Character - My (long) Si Review

    :agree: THIS. I will not say that this Si is "just an EX-T with a tune," because that is simply wrong. However, the driving experience was really not that much different than the regular Civics that are already good. Sportier Civic means that the drive should feel unique, something that...
  17. Initial impressions from a first-time Si owner

    It's not about how fast it is though......
  18. 9th gen Si vs 10th gen Si, a short comparison.

    Yep, this is exactly what I meant by "leaving us with a void." There is nothing out there now that successfully replaces and improves on the K series. For now, hanging on to the last K in my LX and enjoying this engine eagerly talking to me on my spirited drives is the only option I have. I...
  19. 9th gen Si vs 10th gen Si, a short comparison.

    @Redglare :grouphug: I cried after the test drive this past weekend. I wanted to like this so much, too, and be wowed by its new identity and character. My initial conclusion is that for those who have never had an Si will love this Si. For most of those (not all) who lived with the K...
  20. Anyone else less excited after the press reviews?

    I thought I was crazy until I saw Chris's video of the hatch a couple of months ago. When I test drove the LX, the first thought was, "What the hell....?" and just stared at the shifter. I thought I was imagining the difference. It's gotten better with time and miles, but still 'meh'. I'm...
