#7 of 345 auto odd headlight by kenlw Jul 02, 2007 (4:53 pm)
"...all of the cars i've ever owned have the dingy beeps, but never an auto headlight off. "   standard on my 97 camry for one. very convenient. the relay that would make it work costs no more than the dinger. Replies to this message: kork13 (Jul 08, 2007 12:15 pm)

Replying to: eldaino (Jul 02, 2007 11:06 am) My 1999 very, very basic chevy cavalier had an auto shutoff for all lights. If any light (headlights, interior dome light, parking lights) were left on with no key in the ignition for 20 minutes, the power was automatically cut to keep the battery from being drained. If chevy could do that on a completely no-frills econocar, then everybody should be able to do it on every model.   Oh, and the chev also had the dingy thing too - it just had an idiot proof backup as well.
#9 of 345 maybe all the cars i've owned require you to be smart? by eldaino Jul 03, 2007 (6:51 am)
just kidding ofcourse.
#10 of 345 Rumors by glideslopes Jul 06, 2007 (4:56 pm)
Some strong rumors on another site for Paddle Shifters for the AT. Not sure if a AT Si, or and EX upgrade with the 155hp K20 2.0.
#11 of 345 AT Si by kenlw Jul 06, 2007 (6:44 pm)
An AT Si would probably have sold me. I really thought they would do an AT before a sedan. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jul 06, 2007 7:28 pm) orbit9090 (Jul 17, 2007 8:54 am) eldaino (Jul 18, 2007 6:44 am) thegraduate (Jul 23, 2007 5:15 pm) and 5 more... barretthead (Jul 07, 2007 5:28 am)

Replying to: kenlw (Jul 06, 2007 6:44 pm) An Automatic Si seems VERY pointless to me. The Civic Si is about offering a very raw performance experience. With all its power made in the stratosphere, and relatively meager torque (compared with its competitors), where many cars redline, a manual seems a must-have option in this car in order to really wring it out properly.   Just my opinion, but its one that I believe would be shared by a lot of people (based on what I've read in other threads here).

Replying to: kenlw (Jul 06, 2007 6:44 pm) nope.
#14 of 345 well.... by kenlw Jul 07, 2007 (6:25 pm)
most would have said the same about a 4 dr Si. And it may not appeal to you but would increase sales. At least one that I'm aware of.... Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jul 07, 2007 7:50 pm) kork13 (Jul 08, 2007 12:09 pm) eldaino (Jul 09, 2007 10:41 am)

Replying to: kenlw (Jul 07, 2007 6:25 pm) Having two extra doors doesn't change the performance characteristics of the engine. Having a performance-robbing torque-converter does.   The engine's peaky nature simply wouldn't mesh well with an automatic.

Replying to: thegraduate (Jul 07, 2007 7:50 pm) I completely agree with the others... An AT Si would rob it of all the fun. Just last night, I decided to stretch my Si's legs a bit, and brought it up to 6k+ rpms a few times, just for kicks... That's one of the funnest parts about the Si, and the upper-reaches is where the engine gets the best power. According to dyno results posted in another forum, between 6.2k - 7.8k rpms is the sweet spot, and an AT would never let you get up there. No, an AT Si would never do.....   As for changes I'd like to see, the only thing I'd like to see (at least on the Si side) would be a more torquing engine, but that sort of improvement is probably a few years off, at least not until the next gen comes out.
