Replying to: eldaino (Jul 02, 2007 10:32 am) I test drove the new Civic and I thought that the car felt like a late '90s Accord rather than an econmoy car like the old Civic. What kept me from buying it was that I use the hood to judge where the front or side of the car is and in the new Civic you can't see the hood at all from the driver's seat.

Replying to: pat (Dec 26, 2005 3:09 pm)  i absolutely love my Si, ive test driven every car in its class and the Si is the most fun to drive and will last you the longest. it doesnt even have a turbo and pumps out as much power as say a Gti which is a 2.0 turbo. anyway im just blabbing now, get a civic or civic Si

Replying to: themistocles (Jul 08, 2007 7:28 am) "Compared to the Civic si the Mazdaspeed3 cranks everything one noticeable notch"  Honda fans need to take deep breathe here is the rest compared to the 3: Better ergonomics,more body roll, less powerful brakes with nonlinear response,less peak power,lazy steering response,more understeer than the 3! How do you claim the above?

Replying to: themistocles (Jul 09, 2007 12:41 am) the si's motor is wonderful. but its attributes are also its weaknesses. you don't have to keep a gti's engine on boling point to get power out of it. in fact most 0-60 runs in a gti are quiker than an si, almost a second in fact. (last gti was car and driver tested and it ran in 6.2 seconds.) you can turbo an si, but how much will that cost? (not to mention preparing the car for the turbo.) 500 bucks gets you a gti with 50lbs of torque more and about 30-40 more hp. the twisties? yeah, stock, si rules. But that gti is still in your rearview mirror....

Replying to: eldaino (Jul 09, 2007 10:16 am) anyway, all i was really saying is that the Si competes with it. and that i would rather have the Si over the Gti. |
