no enthusiast buys a R18 cause they are amazing... they make an exception. join a forum and who knows.
only excuses can explain...
i chose the Si specifically. drove the GTI, STI, EVO. i have experience with the motor from my swapped EP so i had bias. dont like finicky turbos, apreciate the K power band. STI/EVOs were boring for the money for me to make switch from honda aside from the power which i dont need anymore trouble if i want my job to keep me on their insurance. i dont want to say i drive a VolksWagon plus im yet to see a reliable one. i felt like i saved alot of money and have navi and everything i love, its like honda hooked me up for 20k. why in the hell as a long time civic/Honda lover would i buy a R18... i would wrather have Fit cause then at least i could get the top model for the price.
plus alot of these people on here in 5 years will be on another forum when they can afford something else especially the R18 guys. not me, ive been driving Si's for a long time and it seems that honda has matured the brand with me. i cant refuse. being a honda lover i save money, drive a car made to be fun everyday, win on resale every time and own a car from a hell of a car maker.

The problem with this forum is that people such as yourself make statements like this that say if someone does not own an Si and are an enthusiast, then they must be poor or they cannot possibly be an enthusiast. Your logic may work with yourself, but it definately does not apply to everyone on here. Many people could care less about the Si, because to them it may be unneccassary to drive a car of that caliber. I'm an auto enthusiast and honestly have no interest whatsoever about driving an Si, it has absolutely nothing to do with money. If i want a performance vehicle from Honda, i would buy the Accord V6 6-speed before i bought an Si.
