What are you trying to say here, the Type-R never had heated seats...Remember guys the new Si (baby Type R)is learning from its bigger brother so It ditched the Heated seats ? thank God I'm in Florida though. It'll get me now and then as it'll be a downgrade in that aspect.
The LSD + bucket seats are huge advantages to the Si*. I'd still make sure to drive them both to see the difference could the ST hatch get close to the Si performance? probably not.If you guys had to pick one ….
new Si
Or
Sport Touring hatch
TypeR! Ohh sorry Si! Ok ok Canadian Si final Answer!If you guys had to pick one ….
new Si
Or
Sport Touring hatch
Just like the Hatch, the SI will be a tough sell in Canada as it is now more expensive than the GTI and GLI. Even the BRZ is $2.5k less than the SI. If they also dropped heated seats in Canada then I don’t know what Honda was thinking.Should be around $38,000 CAD with Transport and PDI. Same price as an Accord Sport 1.5l.
The hatchback is just a tune away from having as much power and if the 11th gen trend holds up, the SI may be slower than the 10th gen. Might not be the highest benchmark to surpass.The LSD + bucket seats are huge advantages to the Si*. I'd still make sure to drive them both to see the difference could the ST hatch get close to the Si performance? probably not.
*I'm not a huge fan of leather, unless they're really nice, plus I love my current Si's bucket seats.
I have to agree here. The Civic SI is now the same price as an Acura ILX. That alone shows something is wrong here.This might be an unpopular opinion but WOW am I disappointed....
I've owned multiple Si including a 9th and 10th gen and a type-R. I never once in all those purchases felt like I was getting less than I should for my money. I already knew Honda was going to probably recycle the 10th gen for the 11th, add a few interior niceties and the price may go up a few hundred as it usually does.
But at a 2k + increase for a recycled generation with trade offs of you loose this but gain this....... What a joke. And in a world where MSRP is the norm on top of it all, it's wayyyyyy too much money for what they are giving you. Try to justify it however you want. After TTL "depending on your state" people will be spending almost 30k on a flipping 1.5T Si and that's if they can find one without stupid dealer added accessories.
Zero hate to anyone that wants one, if you have money to burn and this is how you enjoy burning it, more power to you. It's no different than going out to eat or on vacation, buy what makes you happy. I just hope nobody with a 10th gen trades in for an 11th. I'd be shopping for a BRZ or waiting for the WRX to be refreshed to fix the ugly personally.
????????????????This is the absolute worst time to buy a car..but, the semi-good news is that bad economic times are around the corner + late next year there will be more competition in this segment.
But back to the upcoming bad economic times(23-25?), that's the time to buy the car you want. Also, might not want to just focus on MSRP or monthly payment. Look at how much you're spending on your current car each month in car payments, insurance, gas, maintenance, yearly registration. Find out what that number is and try to keep it the same or even smaller. If you have to save money for a year or two to reduce your total monthly bill you'll end up much happier with your purchase.
Do it smart, and do it on your own terms. Not anybody else's, especially the greedy dealership.
