I just don't see the SI as a viable option anymore. Subaru, Mitsubishi, Ford, Chevy, hell even Hyundai have better Sporty options than Honda does now. You're throwing a 200 hp N/A, FWD in a pool of AWD, RWD, turbochargers, V-6s, not to mention TORQUE.
The civic SI died here when it became overpriced and out classed. Over $22,000 for a FWD civic, really?
Omg seriously if I hear one more person say we could possibly get the ctr here Im just gonna lose it. I'll say this one more time: WE'LL NEVER GET THE CTR HERE!!! If it ever came here it'd be in the price range of a STI or Evo and would never sell enough for Honda to make money. Get over it, it's never coming here.
idk about you guys but
i've parked next to a fit before and i find its very close in size... not much smaller
i think honda has lost their touch
IMO all the newer cars are getting uglier and uglier and bigger and heavier for no good reason
yeah for real. almost every car was smaller 15 years ago besides like cadillac and lincoln boatmobiles. Geos, camrys, corollas, almost any honda, smaller toyota/nissan trucks, etc. other than the fit, the tiny ass cars that got 35mpg+(without being a hybrid) and lasted to 250k miles or more are dead. how many geos and pre 1995 corollas/civics do you still see nowadays? i'm curious to see if there will be that many of today's cars on the road in 15 years. they just don't make em like they used too
im sure a lot of that has to do with government safety regulations...but there really is no excuse for a unneccesarily heavy civic
thats just bad engineering
its a shame that theres no type r....discontinued it just when i could afford one
not that i'd buy it anyways it'd prolly be ugly
the 8th gen civics were ok looking...
imo the ep was the last civic that kept the civic look and feel(thats why i own one)
the 9th gen looks like a freaking accord
the crz actually looks good but being a 2 seater i wouldn't be able to buy one...i need back seats

you want to know why toyotas don't longer anymore or have all these issues? Because they are not imported from Japan. They are MADE here in the US. When has any US domestic auto product actually last and still get 35+ MPG? You want to know why cars get bigger? Cause Americans keeping eating and getting bigger.
I just dont get why people say it would have hurt Type-S sales, the Type-S is Acura and the SI is Honda, I know they are both Honda but they are both sold at different dealerships.
So, Why couldnt the Honda dealer sell a K20A2 6spd SI and the Acura dealer sell their Type-S?
it really doesnt make sense why they gimped the ep3 si with the k20a3 motor...
i feel like it really hurt ep3 sales and is the major reason why it didnt sell well in the U.S
and thus why there arent many on the roads and stuff
although the lineup during that time was also too diverse...
the 4dr/2dr ...then theres the em2, along with the ep3
the way honda has it now is good
the si/2dr/4dr all look similar and it is easy to distinguish the 3, at the same time not change the cars too much
i'm not a fan of the new civics tho
too many of them rolling around on the roads
dunno why it double posted sry
