I Drove The New Civic Si Today

[steronz]

i test drove the new Si today. it's good. i don't have a lot to compare it to, but they had a short autocross course set up with a slalom section, and it felt very solid. the LSD is nice. my only complaint is that the brakes were really grabby, but it was a pre-production test mule whose sole purpose was to get beat on by the public, so that's not really honda's fault. otherwise, it looks good in person, the interior has a lot of plastic but is otherwise very badass, the seats rock, etc. it's the 2nd best civic ever IMO (after the 4th gen).

i also drove a V6 6 speed accord, which may have been a bit more powerful but handled far worse, the ridgeline (p.o.s.), and my wife flogged the accord hybrid around the course. i won a 1:18 scale super street/hot wheels civic, and we're still waiting to find out that we didn't win a real civic.

if you have any questions about it, lemme know.

thats cool dude....i was thinking about getting one but its not worth it, ill keep my 6th gen. besides im 19 and going to school aka broke. any way how does it look in person ive seen a couple of new sedans and i havnt been impressed on the looks

[steronz]

it looks real good in person. i like the sedan too, but it's got a corolla/new jetta look to it. the coupe is much better... "universally likeable," i'd say. nothing flashy, but just a generally nicely shaped and proportioned car.

The car IMO is butt ugly, however the interior is sooo sweet.

the sedans dont quite do it for me but they havent since the 6th gen...


coupes on the other ahnd i think are sweet looking. the interior is all fuckin decked out. i cant wait to see what some people do with these.
