Good review. But yeah they need to get caught up on their powertrain jargon.

Did YOU hear how in this vlog SubaruWrxFan said, this Civic X is *MORE*, yes you read that right, MORE comfortable than luxury cars, e.g. a LEXUS. That sealed the DEAL folklore...sealed the deal FOLKLORE!! Also noteworthy is that it feels as fast as a Subaru Wrx and get this, only about 50 less horses than a Civic Type R kinfolk but more importantly, doesn't feel slower than a FREAKING TYPE R!! (I realize it is about how it puts the power down but who the fuck cares, mayne).. smaller nuggets were the 2900 pound weight which is 150 more than <I can't remember the example, fill me in folklore..help me out kinfolk...>Matt Maran Motoring, nee subaruwrxfan, just posted his review. Overall seems pretty spot-on. He tends to be a little effusive in his reviews, so take that with a grain of salt.

What happened to his voice at the 9:00 mark?Matt Maran Motoring, nee subaruwrxfan, just posted his review. Overall seems pretty spot-on. He tends to be a little effusive in his reviews, so take that with a grain of salt.
Isn't it pure, unadulturated brilliance that a Civic X, almost as big as an Accord is only 150 more pounds than the EP3? I'm not even engineer level so can't comprehend but I know there is some special sauce added here and we ain't talk'n McD. I mean, this is stupid smart. Someone a lot smarter than me will chime in here. Not much smaller than 07 Camry....than a 2002 EP3 hatchback. (my old car)
Yeah, it blows my mind. My EP3 came with 195-width tires carrying around 2800 lbs, and my Sport Touring FK7 only weighs about one adult more despite having two more doors, proper rear seats, and a turbo. It's lighter than my wife's old 2005 Camry, too, and is a hair bigger.Isn't it pure, unadulturated brilliance that a Civic X, almost as big as an Accord is only 150 more pounds than the EP3?

I remember paying 16.7K for my 00 Si brand new. The fact that we can get a brand new Si Sedan 17 years later for only $5-6K more is mind-blowing.
I just want to take a minute and say that the hardest thing to do with an aftermarket exhaust is to make the car sound quieter and smoother without losing power.Good short comparo from Road & Track that I took from TOV. In short, they liked just about everything except a few exterior bits and the exhaust/induction note.
