Hi guys,
I'm finally in the market to buy a new car. After driving my 2012 Civic Coupe Ex-L for 7 years, I had enough. the slow 1.8L engine and automatic transmission is boring as hell.
Right now I've set my eyes on Civic Coupe and I'm deciding whether to get the Si or the Sport.
Is the Civic Si affected by the oil dilution the 1.5L turbo's is having? All the complaints I've read so far are coming from the CR-Vs and Civics which are a bunch of EX/EX-T/Touring. I've not yet read any complaints on the Si about oil dilution.
The oil dilution issue is holding me back in getting the Si that's why the Sport is in my selection because it uses the good old port injection, NA, K20 series engine which doesn't suffer under oil dilution and its manual at least so I will have the freedom what RPM I'll use.
Oh, and is having the Si's LSD really makes a difference? I'm thinking about some occasional track for my new car (but I'm really not going to race, just to have a good space to drive fast and really rev the car).
