2013 Civic Si Vs. 2009 370Z

Leingod · 01-07-2016, 09:03 AM

I'd still buy an S4 in a heartbeat. They can keep the TT. The Z's interior does suck. But I'm not looking at or petting the damn dashboard when I am driving a freaking sport car though. The Civivs is mainly cheap palstic and faux leather also with cloth seats. I'm not penalizing it for having crappy interior quality. I'll penalize it for using a digital speedometer so recessed within the dash that direct sunlight beaming from the drivers side of the car makes reading your speed about as hard as a blind person ordering food from a touchscreen at mcdonalds when the voice function is off.

I like the Z interior with factory nav. It's not plush with leather, but it looks decent in my opinion.

I never had an issue when driving a 2006 Civic LX Sedan for 5 years. Literally no complaints other than power and the seats could use a teeny bit more padding. But it's a perfectly reliable and perfectly usable sub-$20k car. I would own an Si tomorrow for a daily if I could.

I always hear the older models being better. The GF has a 2009 Civic EX. It's practical and quiet. No power, but big deal. It seems like the newer revisions and specifically the Si's are what are horrible.

^^^^^ getting beat up for the lying might make them put out some killer deals to get the cars moving again.

Nissan lied to us when we bought my Wifes Rouge. They said 26/33 shes getting closer to 30/36. She also drives like old people fornicate but she was super stoked with it.

I used to rock my mom's 03 Odyssey back when I first got my license. That thing boogied for being a minivan. 3.5 SOHC V6 with VTEC, I think something like 240HP.

For me an interesting car has to have a manual option, and not just a manual on the economy trim level. Otherwise it's the same sitting on a couch pushing buttons wrapped in a different shape.
