A friend at work has a regular Civic, late model, 2010, 11 maybe? My ex has a 2011 Si. The normal Civic feels like an overall better car. Not as "fast" obviously but just more solid in everything. Literally everything. From closing the door to some spirited traffic circles. really let down with the Si.

i Feel like these new gen SI's are a dissapointment and even degraded compared to the older models :shakes head:

If you want fewer obnoxious noises from the engine, a lightweight flywheel is going in the wrong direction. :rofl2:

Didnt Honda address the '11 and/or '12 years model issues? Basically brought back the "last best year..(mechanics", if you will) but kept the new styling? I vaguely remember reading that somewhere...then again the last honda I was interested in was the S2000. Looking forward to the NSX though. Pity theyre pandering to the Polar Bears...Porsche too. Theres no way I can correct snap over steer in a 800 pound bear. Just not gonna happen.

Unless your doing 7K clutch dumps in reverse.. your not driving hard enough.

I'd like to see a video of that!!!

It's unbelievable how much people on this forum hate on Si's..
I mean of course if you're driving a Z you shouldn't expect much from the Si, you're talking 4 cylinder 197 hp (25-28 mpg on average) vs a V6 332 hp (below 20 mpg). unless the Si is super/turbo charged you have no right to compare these two..

gotta clear up something with you dude...

we don't hate civic... any trim...

we just hate those farting-can-lambo-door-civic who can only show themselves off at high school 12 yrs old and race against prius to fatdonald's drive thru.

:tiphat:

trust me if someone is doing that to a Civic they would do the same thing to any other car, even if you give them a Ferrari, they'd prob get an aftermarket fartcan and load it up with stickers. Although Civics are known more when it comes to riced out cars, its all about the individual driving the car. Honestly, they are a disgrace.. one of the reasons why I'm willing to trade my Si for a Z.

We've got our share of those guys too. As the car gets older and cheaper it'll just get worse.

we will just dislike the owner and feel sorry for the car, no matter it is a civic or ferrari... :tiphat:

in fact, many of the Z members here own both, so how could we just hate civic..? :icon17:

in fact, many lambo-door-Z in here got flame too.


good?

Theres this one guy at work, he has a murdered out late model Mazda3. Not Speed3, just Mazda3. Automatic, plenty horsepower stickers, Recaro seats, fart can the size of an Abraham's muzzle, plasti-dip wheels(can you do that to wheels? They look like an abortion), painted red rotors. What are those cheap knock off chinese tires...? Swirly tread ones. Ive looked for boost gauges, afraid Ill go blind if I stare too long though. didnt see any. What a POS and it sounds down right embarrassing. Pulling away in my plush Volvo he gives me an eye. Id smoke him in the Volvo, straights, turns, reverse. Id smoke him in my 10 year old beater accord not to mention the 370...."sigh"....hipsters....

Being an owner of an 2011 Si, I hated it. Over 5k RPMs my grandmother would grab for the door handle trying to time the jump from the car.. Glad that poor thing didnt have a heart attack in there

After driving a couple of these recent Honda models Accord, Civic Si, and the the regular Civic im glad to say that i WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER ..EVER purchase another Honda EVER. (s2000 nsx not included)

I wouldn't mind having a Civic for a DD.
