Replying to: toshi1 (May 01, 2007 8:52 pm) I agree that honda built the new si with tuners predominately in mind, thats why it doesnt' do so amazing in stock form other than the great handling. Here we go with the vtec kicking in. Yes there are cam stages, but vtec is not totally inatctive like on the b series engine that your gsr probably has. Vtec is pretty much dead until it kicks in in the higher rpm ranges; i-vteck works differently. It has stages, but is always there.

Been really looking at these two vehicles but have yet not be able to drive a TC. The dealer cannot keep them in stock , all are pre oprdered. Driven the Civic coupe and it was shockingly horrible. Never owned a Honda so I guess I dont share the fanboy goggles as some others. The interior of the Civic is horrid. The dash is bigger than an old ford aerostar minivan and the windshield laid just as flat. In my opinion they completely destroyed the Civic interior and the exterior is nothing great either. That two tier dash is the absolute most ridiculous looking thing Ive ever seen in a car. Even the Xb funky dash blows it away. When I was done with the test drive I ran away as fast as I could. That car is just hideous, and seels on nameplate alone.

to each his own. Some of us just are better judges of design.... dealers here have tons of TCs. Heavily discounted.

Replying to: vviley (May 29, 2007 4:57 am) With b series vtec it doesn't do that until you are revving the engine up until its peak powerband. i vtec may have stages, but its still working in low rpms. With older vtec is limited to the right side of your tach.

Replying to: frago (May 28, 2007 11:15 am) If the civic is so horrible, why is the Tc a hack job? Hmm...someone has no idea what they are talking about.  The aerostar comparsion was cute, but totally inaccurate. The dash in the xb being way better? For someone who dislikes polarizing dash designs, i'm suprised a guage mounted TOTALLY out of your natural line of sight was appealing at all.
