lovin my ex fg1 btw
good attitude.make the most with what you got! yee!
NOPE. Then you'll be wondering how fast an Si with a turbo will be. I had a mid 12 sec AWD eclipse a la Brian Earl Spilner. I'm over the speed. I just wanted the look/handling of the Si. Rather than buy another Ex and add suspension and spoiler, figured I'd just get right to the Si.I don't regret not taking the TC over the Civic, but i do regret not buying an Si over the R18, but am sure i will Regret not buying the R18 over the Si if i had that stupid 3rd gear grind.
So am sure after i turbo my R18 all the toughts about buying the Si will be gone.:thumb:
Define please? opcorn:I have an Si and I wish I had an R18..they are so much faster.
+1... you guys in the states have no idea how good you have it when it comes to vehicle pricing. My 06 EX sedan came to almost 27-28 after taxes and what not. I would've got the Mazda3, but with the options I wanted it came out to waay too much. I considered trading in for an SI... but honestly, I think i'll wait and get something a couple years old when I'm closing to paying this off.good attitude.
It's true though, you gotta just make do with what you have. Although, I do wish I had gotten the mazda3 hatch instead... just seems so much better for some reason.
However, I speak for all the Canadians with R18's.. While the Si is a great car, a $30,000+ price tag for a civic for 60 more hp is not a good match. If the Si was the same price as yours in the States - $22,000ish, then I'd be on it in a second. Here's some food for thought, my DX-G was $22,500, but I am completely happy with it, and have been since day 1.
If I had $30,000 in my pocket looking for a new car, I probably wouldn't look at the civic si. Not in Canada anyways.

exactly. It's not always about the power. I love my car :dancing:+1 ... my thoughts exactly.:thumb:
The more I personalize it with my own tastes, the more I dig my ride
Agreed I love my GGM coupe (except for the strut bump stop noise) Been getting about 34 MPG on S$#%%y winter cali 87 so happy with mileage so far. Tranny seems to be pretty solid. Picked it over SI as I decided to keep my paid off 03 330i 6M for fun. Plus much less chance of getting "hated" on as the wheels and red emblems seem to bring out all the lo-lifes around here (2 buddies with Si coupe&sedan have already been keyed)I love my R18, good gas mileage, good in the corners, and if you have a M/T and know the power band is between 3-4.5K and know how to quick shift it can be fun
That's the main reason why I bought it for my college years.Civic = Holds value very very well.
