New 2005 Civic Si

[98ex2286]

personally i think its a great car driven and ridden in one. if i had the money i would buy one. i dont notice much diffrence though.

Im not much for the shifter placement on them. Too high, i like the lower console placement more, on the 4th 5th and 6thgens.

the shiofter is no different than the old school shifters I had a 96 dx before this and it didnt really take that much to get used to.. before I got done with the test drive I was ok with it.

the new hatches have the newer headlights, tailights and they come with 5 lug.

the heavier weight is due to the actual rigidity of the car, i guess its structure the car itself feels very solid, not like my sedan or other civics I have been in.

the engine does leave a lot to wish for but still this engine has a nice umph to it, there are people running 13-14 on all-motor(I think), but they have extensive custom work done to the car and for a car that heavy IMO its a very nice 1/4 mile time.

A lot of people hate on it, but most of the owners are already used to that.

Hate all you want...I still think its a sexy car...however I dont like the newer style...tooo ford focus.. and a 5 lug NOW is kinda too little too late.

ha ha soo true.
it would have been kick ass on the previous version of the SI(99-00)

the tails are just going with whatever it is that they think its trendy... and of course leave it to the automotive technology to stay about 2-3-4 years behind what is cool.
