do more people go from the FG2 --> FA5 or FA5 --> FG2?

Prelude2Si · 06-15-2008, 12:50 PM

have more people made the switch from fg2 to an fa5 or fa5 to fg2?

seems like there are a lot of Si dedicates here, so I just wondered.

nayilsi · 06-15-2008, 01:10 PM

fa5 to fg2

mostly new dads.

***KyleBucket*** · 06-15-2008, 01:52 PM

You sure its not the other way around? Beings the FA5 is a Sedan, and 4 doors is easier for a baby seat etc.

02civicsi · 06-15-2008, 01:55 PM

I went from EP3 to the FA5 because I had a kid. I like the bodylines of the FA5 better than the FG2. Even if I wouldn't have had my daughter I would've still boughth the FA5.

vtwinjunkie · 08-01-2008, 05:39 PM

I have a FG2 but I bought it before the Fa5 came out....looking back I wish I would have waited but I love my car and I wouldnt change a thing!

Haaska · 08-01-2008, 05:42 PM

I'd like to trade in my FG1 for an FA5, then do the conversion and boost the bitch.

Dasllamas · 08-01-2008, 05:53 PM

i went from an 05 ex coupe to 08 FA5

Snowwolfe · 08-01-2008, 06:50 PM

Went from a 06 sedan to an 07 EX coupe.
Loved the look of the coupe but absolutely hated the lack of two rear doors.
Sold the 07 and ordered a 09 Si sedan.
Would never own another 2 door again unless I decided to buy another vette.

i dont think most who bought their cars in 06 anticipated the direction honda took. first the Si sedan then the CTR. i had a Ep and was a member on EPhatch when the same guys started FGcoupe... then when honda turned direction on them even they shot themselves in the foot. a bit unexpected for me as well. i bought my FA5 right about when the Ctr was released. so for me when i was doing the side by side choice i couldnt do the coupe. if i had bought mine 6 mo earlier i dont know what i would have chosen. the international enthusiast civic is the sedan, and the coupe is a USDM/CDM baby turned into niche market for new drivers and very few people with long term coupe biased.

FA5 and FD2 are the main desired civics

FG2 is also great, but not popular choice from manufacturer/tuner/consumer perspective.

def not that EDM hatch

all are great cars in the end... but the FA5/FD2 takes the crown within the civics

nayilsi · 08-01-2008, 08:32 PM

recent trend has been

FA5 ------> something else

nobody likes a sedan that wants to perform like a coupe.

I don't see any USDM FA5 Si

FG1JDM · 08-01-2008, 08:35 PM

I have an FG1 but still have my EH2 I love coupes but the FA5 are sick

I Vtec, do you? · 08-01-2008, 11:08 PM

Definitely FG2 -> FA5. There's little to no reason, other than buyer's remorse, to go from a sedan to a coupe. Plenty of reasons to do the opposite.

However, the main reason is definitely because the sedan came out second. If the sedan came out first, then the coupe, there would probably be a LOT more people trading in sedans for the coupe rather than the people who traded in coupes for the sedan.

I agree. It's like how everyone is with the 09 MMC.

I prefer the coupe to the sedan.

Love the coupe!
