  1. Hey guys, I'm new here. Considering a Civic Si....

    It's like 400 lbs heavier than the old Type R, so weight has less effect, and it has more torque and flatter torque curve. The old integras weren't that fast, it was just very involving and exciting cause of the light weight, the steering and road feel and the sounds the motor made. Cars...
  2. Went in for an oil change... drove out with a Boost Blue 2024 Civic Type R

    Seems not bad for California - Mugen Si? has to be one of the best looking cars ever made (on the outside). The interior must be a nice improvement!
  3. Hey guys, I'm new here. Considering a Civic Si....

    Weight. if you put a 350 lb NFL lineman in the front seat of your old Type R, it felt slow.
  4. Hey guys, I'm new here. Considering a Civic Si....

    I feel the same way about my Focus vs my 2020 Si - it's so much nicer inside, quieter, zero rattles, seat more comfortable (slightly), B&O stereo is world's better, and I love the hatchback (look and usability). As a family car in Taiwan (seats 4 comfortably) it's perfect. But back in the US...
  5. Official: Hybrid Civic Coming to US in 2024 as Sedan and Hatchback

    Ive been seeing Civic hatch hybrids here in Taiwan for a couple months. Itā€™s the only 11th gen available here.
  6. What do you think the 11th gen MMC will be like.

    Hatchback Si with heated seats.
  7. Trade-in my almost new 2018 Si for 2024 Type-R

    You wonā€™t get $27k from a dealer. They canā€™t sell a 2018 Si for much more than that. Try Carmax but donā€™t think they want your mods. Sell the car privately or ideally remove the mods.
  8. Type R/ITS vs Lexus IS500

    Supposed to be all EV now, pass.
  9. Fiesta ST/ Focus ST comparison.

    I test drove the GLI before buying the Si, didn't like it at all. You sit very high up, it feels huge, shifter isn't very good. Feels like driving a minivan compared to the Si. I drove a Fiesta ST in like 2018 when they were new, they are very raw, hard to compare to the Si. It feels like a...
  10. Type R/ITS vs Lexus IS500

    good input thanks. I think what attracts me to the Type R is that itā€™ll be enjoyable even at normal speeds. I loved shifting in my 2020 Si and the car was fun even tooling around. Hell Iā€™d buy an Si if it came in hatch form, I think the sedan is also a bit too sedate this gen too. Iā€™m in Taiwan...
  11. Trade 718 GT4 for FL5? (There is a reason for the madness...)

    I canā€™t think of a better investment than a GT4, when the Cayman goes all EV, values will go ballistic.
  12. Type R/ITS vs Lexus IS500

    Saw a video that thereā€™s 200 IS500s in the US and everyone one is $67-68k. But some are discounted $2500 or so. Thatā€™s a lot of coin.
  13. Trade 718 GT4 for FL5? (There is a reason for the madness...)

    only other practical fun cars I can think of are IS500 and the two Blackwings, maybe RS3. Iā€™d consider a Quadrifoglio if it wasnā€™t 45 minutes to the nearest dealership. Typical role for the second car for people with kids is short trips to and from daycare or school, and going to sports stuff...
  14. Trade 718 GT4 for FL5? (There is a reason for the madness...)

    Yeah itā€™s brutal with two, but ours were 2 years apart so when the youngest was like 3 we got to get rid of most of that stuff. That was a happy day. šŸ˜‚ A Civic is plenty big for two car seats, I just wouldnā€™t buy a car before I have the kids. It took 2 years to conceive our first.
  15. Type R/ITS vs Lexus IS500

    thanks, will try to do some test driving when weā€™re home for a month this summer. I canā€™t get excited about todayā€™s BMWs for some reason, maybe a previous gen M3 or a previous gen M2c but my wife wouldnā€™t go for the combo of $50k+ and high maintenance.
  16. Type R/ITS vs Lexus IS500

    thanks yeah I had two rear drive BMWs so I do like rear drive but never had an automatic rear drive car. 22 mpg is not bad, our Subaru Ascent got 19 mpg even on the highway. šŸ˜’ my kids are older so no car seats but legroom is an issue. Theyā€™d hate no center arm rest though, thatā€™s a pet peeve of...
  17. Type R/ITS vs Lexus IS500

    arenā€™t those like 6 figures? šŸ˜‚
  18. Type R/ITS vs Lexus IS500

    Yes, but I wonder in Massachusetts if there's places to drive that will do justice to the FL5. If I lived in Switzerland or even Montana with mountain roads to drive on and few cars, it would be amazing. But a cruiser might suit where I live better. There's always a car in front of you, and in...
  19. Trade 718 GT4 for FL5? (There is a reason for the madness...)

    I'll say this about kids - don't buy a car before having kids thinking you'll know what you need. When the kids are babies you're going to have a bucketload of crap - portable bathtub, stroller, pack n play, high chair, diaper bag, god knows what else. You may think you'll be ok with a Civic...
  20. Type R/ITS vs Lexus IS500

    in 18 months I'll need to buy a car, has to seat 4 and be fun to drive. We will also buy a 5 seat SUV so it won't be the primary car, just for picking up kids from school, going to sports etc. I expect the (field service) company to give me a company car, but if they give me a stipend...
