Need advise to choose a daily driver

GraphiteZ · 04-07-2016, 03:19 PM

I did some research on the Civic Si. The used car price is so high that the performance/$ ratio doesn't work out. Any Si owner here can chime in?

Fit and Versa are not sporty enough.

dont get the previous gen Fit's right now due to airbag recalls.

also check out the versa note hatch. those are cheap and come in MT.. good mpg, etc pretty decent for the price.

he wants something that doesn't look like a clown car. Like a Versa Note.

I own one. 2013 model. Absolute POS. Don't buy one. Nuff said. Mention it again and i'll cut you like Mishy. That's how badly they suck. Take the Z, and make it an upside down bathtub that gets stuck on dry roads and stalls out when T/C kicks on.

i like it a lot. if stock vs stock, the STI is more fun to drive dan the 370Z. since my Z has some minor tweaks to make her mine, not an even comparison, but i can see people hopping to the STI from the Z if they can only keep one car.

i got the AP installed the other day. pretty cool.

doing the rear fog this week.

Ohh Mr kenchan wait until you install downpipe up the boost and add a intake! I hear its ridiculous at that point! I will be going full stage2+ if I end up with one. Cheers! FYI: silver doesn't look that bad on the STI hehe

actually the 15/16 STI's require new injectors if u do dat due to boost creep issues. wastegate is limited. car comes out of the box pretty lean. im going to keep the pipes and intake stock. i dont need more noise.. im a middle aged guy remember, i had a noisy car before. lol

hell, the silver grew on me now. thing looks great. was originally going to get the darker blue wrx or the wr blue STI, but im glad i got silver. probably tired of the blue by now. lol
