Why is it so bad? I'm Honda ignorant.

It's not a bad car, really, but it's not at all fun to drive or sporty like the old Civic Si.

It's like a tarted-up econobox with a 1,000 RPM powerband and handling not much better than any other econobox.

-Just the Civic Si.

-very harsh ride.

-horrible turning radius.

-Floaty steering to the point of wondering if the wheel is even attached.

-Redlines sooner than z. uncomfortable seats. A clutch so light that it had no bite point.

-The steering wheel 9/3 spokes or whatever they were called were so thick that the wheel was uncomfortable to hold.

-Costs 24k yet didn't even include XM radio

-got stuck on a sunny day

-30mph had to be in 5th gear or else it was 4k+ rpm

-vtec didn't kick in until 5.5k, and redlines at 7.1k

-glare on dash made reading speedo impossible

-bluetooth disconnected frequently on multiple phones

-interior was loud

-stereo was worse than a 90's pinto

-backup cam was useless at angles more than 10 degrees

-THE KILLER: the car stalls when it looses traction in first gear during a dusting of snow. Traction slips, so the engine throttles itself to under 500rpm and stalls ITSELF

That's just stuff off of the top of my head. It truly was a craptacular car. I've never experienced such hatred for an automobile. My breaking point was realizing I couldn't do a 3 point turn on a 4 lane road from the turning radius being so abysmal. Forget about how I got stranded 9 seperate times with a simple dusting of snow with winter tires on.
