Hello all! I sadly totaled my 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport sedan so I had to get a new car. I freaking loved that Hyundai. It was fast and had great handling and looked even better. So I had to get a new car. The choice was between another Elantra Sport or an SI... I chose SI because the Elantra Sport is a great car and a capable platform with mods but it is not exactly performance oriented as an SI is. (If you doubt what I say go to your Hyundai dealer and ask for a test drive. It will surprise you how nice and quick the car actually is as it did me) So here I am a proud new owner of a 2017 Honda Civic SI sedan in black.
Let me tell you after a full 24 hours of ownership all I have to say is wow. This Civic absolutely blows me away. All my expectations were thrown out the window. I thought I would hate the styling but it's definitely growing on me. I've had the car for two days. The stares I get on the highway the people coming up to me just to tell me I have a nice car? That feeling is great. It took me a while to dare to get on the throttle and what can I say? It definitely has to be underrated. It feels so much faster than 205 hp. Turning on sport mode is amazing. You can actually feel everything stiffening up as the car starts to send you more feedback and the steering wheel tightens up and you become one with the car. Handling is amazing. The short shift throws are also really nice. I had a 9th gen SI and let me tell you. That car literally cannot compare. Not because the new one doesn't have a VTEC but because the 10th generation is the best SI ever made. Hands down.
