Recently I've been looking to get into a different car. I looked at STi's and S4s and all that jazz and none were really striking me then i came upon a good deal through the dealership I work at. My new ride is a 2012 Civic Si. For now I still have my stang around if no one buys it. If its not gone in a few months it will go in to storage for the winter and become a project car.

Going ricer on us hey?Lol

Honda's are good cars, my parents have a 97 Accord with almost 200,000 miles on it.

Well, as long as it's got a manual tranny it should be fun!

Yeah, then I realized I would be paying 350+ a month + insurance on a 6 year old car. Where as I pay much less for each for this brand new one. It's a Si 6 speed manual.

Hmm you were looking at Stis and s4s and end up with a civic

**ModularMike** · 07-24-2012, 04:17 PM

I'd love to have a new Si, I love the k-series motors.

I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic. Haha. But I like the new motors alot, they'd be cooler if they revved to 8k like the old ones though.

No bullshit, I love the new Si's. My mom has 2010 CR-V with the K24 motor. Honda makes a damn good car. Before I got into Mustangs I liked Hondas, and I still do.

Here is a pic of a friends car we just had out at Thompson Raceway this past Friday. Turbo K20. Pretty serious car. Unfortunately it hurt the motor.

Nice. I love my honda. Revs to 9500 Daily and has been more reliable than i ever could've asked for. In 4 years of owning it ive only replaced 1 axle and routine maintenance.. Good choice

**blizzard** · 07-24-2012, 09:41 PM

know how you feel, said i'd never own one but this looks like a sweet ricer..

Nice ride Shawn. I'd def drive an Si as a daily, great gas mileage and I've always liked the suede seats the Si's have.

**AutomagicSN98** · 07-24-2012, 10:19 PM

Thanks guys. I really like it alot. It was a tough choice for me, but with having school bills along with the misc. tools I will be buying I needed something reliable, cheap to drive, and easy to maintain, all at the same time being a fun sporty car. The hydraulic clutch makes for very smooth driving and the electric assisted power steering makes it incredibly easy to steer. Along with the almost race-ish interior. I really am satisfied with it.

Bad shot of the front seat. Side bolsters are great.

Back seats also offer a good bit of support.

If anyone is thinking of buying one and needs some convincing, feel free to ask for a ride. Never thought id say it but, I love my Honda.

Nice car.

I bought a brand new '07 SI back in 2007. I loved that car...it handled amazingly, K series had a ton of power for what it was, and I was getting 35 mpg's.

Yeah, i laughed when the salesman i was working with offered it to me, then i went for a test drive and really liked it.

The test drive sold me too. It's sooo easy to drive and it's really fun with the 8K redline, well on the '07's anyways. It's a very driver oriented car.

Then throw in a pretty decent stereo and the other creature comforts on top of it. Not sure how the new ones are but mine had a factory sub in the rear deck and the stereo sounded great.

Yeah, its strange having a new car, im used to getting into a beat up 140k+ vehicle that im not sure when its going to break next. I also really like the black interior with red stitching and white stitching in the seats. Stereos badass too.
