• Add a hatchback
• flat bottomed steering wheel and change the bottom spoke to match the black /w red trim of the dash
• Black door cards with red stitching

• Cut the price hike in half at least
• Add updated adaptive dampers
• Moderate hp and torque increases
• Replace taillights with those on the Chinese Honda Integra

• Maybe add a ZF paddle shifted automatic option?
• All of the technology options from the Touring or Sport Touring model like heated seats and larger digital display?
• Make it match the GTI in HP/TQ

I know, the first and third options will never happen.

* Add Lane Watch
* Give it the 2.0 from the Accord Sport
* Center exit exhaust

Figure out how to cut 150-250lbs from it.
Return to a coupe.
Bump it to about 220-230hp.


The power to me isn't a huge deal, but I prefer light and nimble.

Im so sick of a regular base trim Jetta having a flat bottom steering wheel and the Civic Si doesn't.

Nitrous Oxide and a Go Baby Go button ?

First and foremost, I'd change the styling to this...

 

[Jimi]

-Hatch
-Remove that tacky Red around the honeycomb grill
-better seat fabric
-250hp

More power, less weight, less doors, interesting styling instead of bland.

Add back the gen X missing options. Add vented seats which is something I’d love in a car and never have had. This car would never get memory power seats, but I’d pay extra for the option if it were available

Make the infotainment not follow the trend of “tablet-nailed-to-dash” and have it be integrated.

Make the engine break the 197-205 rated horsepower threshold Hondas been stuck in since gen 8 for a decade and a half and make the car make more power.

I kind of hate the vent duct and dash setup in general. Looks like this weird quasi-retro thing. I don’t know. It just doesn’t look good to me.

The exterior… man I want to say it’s an improvement, but it looks… I don’t know. Something about it is either too… something. Or not enough… something. Don’t get me wrong, I still think my gen 9s back end/taillights looked better than gen 10, even now. Gen 11 looks like they went to go make it better and half assed it and took some last gen competitor looks and made them have a baby… and that baby was that car.

This car seems like a two steps forward, one step back very safe soft refresh. With my car doing everything the new car does I care about minus wireless CarPlay and potentially the sound system (and I had a BOSE in my RSX type-S and it suuuuucked… not to mentioned the broke variants in both my 2nd gen 300zxs) that I’m not losing sleep over with my hacked head unit and V4A app that pretty well fixed my complaints with the stock sound, this gen 11 has nothing compelling to make it a buy (for me). 9 to 10 was a good move for me. I dumped the most boring variant of the performance NA K with a low modding ceiling staying NA to a stupid cheap and easy to get to make more power L15 that was more efficient to boot. Much better handling. Better seats. An infotainment that added Auto/CarPlay. Bigger back seat for the fam. I’d never suggest Gen X is better than 11… and if I was in the market for one, I’d choose the new car over the old one, but already having a gen X… the main reason I see to upgrade is if you’ve got to drive the latest thing.

The idea of dumping the ‘18 I paid $23.5k for and is a couple grand from being paid off for a light refresh that might be difficult to get for much under $30 OTD it’s first year feels She’s making 250 whp… I just stuck new tires on it. Added sound deadening here and there. Those doors shut with a satisfying thunk and it’s work I did to make it happen. It’s got a few scratches and rock chips so I’m done sweating each and every little imperfection.

I’d spend 30k on one tomorrow if they stuck a K20C4 in it.

Other than this, and a spoiler/wing specific to the si, nothing yet…. Too early to tell.

I mean in a parallel universe I'd love a high reving engine again. Reving out long and hard till gen X has been a defining characteristic of fun Hondas. Hell, my v8 slaps 8K and has a stock 7200 RPM redline.

Add heated seats
Remove auto/start stop (if it did get this..)
Bump power to 230hp/trq and upgrade the clutch to make it more "tuner proof" (compared to the 10th gen)

I like the styling..
