The lower power output and heavier weight kind of explain some of the rather slow testing numbers we're seeing. I've seen a range of around 7.4 to nearly 8 seconds for 0-60 runs. The 10th was mostly seeing 6.6 to 7 second flat 0-60 times.I’m confused on why the 11th gen has less power out of the factory especially now that it has VTEC. It’s almost like it was detuned?
Because Honda screwed up on this Gen. Bad decisions.I’m confused on why the 11th gen has less power out of the factory especially now that it has VTEC. It’s almost like it was detuned?
Same engine though.Guys...the sedan is NOT aiming our market. Lets be patient and see what Honda did with the hatchback units.
The Hatchback engine specs are the same as the sedan so we won’t see anything different. The Hatchback could even perform slightly worse as it will be heavier than the sedan.Guys...the sedan is NOT aiming our market. Lets be patient and see what Honda did with the hatchback units.
Bot because ia the same engine that the tuning will be the same.Same engine though.
We're comparing apples to apples. Looks like Honda detuned the engine a bit At least going by these dyno numbers and pro reviews of the 10th and 11th.
Look at thia video:The Hatchback engine specs are the same as the sedan so we won’t see anything different. The Hatchback could even perform slightly worse as it will be heavier than the sedan.
It looks like Honda tuned the 11th gen for better gas mileage to help compensate for the extra weight. Unfortunately this is where we are at in engine design as Honda has stopped investing in ICE engines.
That defeats the purpose of the turbo engine imo. Might as well get a 2.0 NA if the power figures from that and the 1.5T are that close. No wonder the sport model and ex are so close in price.Look at thia video:
The sedan is aiming to a different market. The hatch is for a younger buyer and thus, I think the suspension and engine tuning will be sportier.
Turbos on economy boxes are for....economy and overpassing torque. You obviously want a sporty car. The Si is the one for you.That defeats the purpose of the turbo engine imo.

The 10th gen turbos were faster than the 11th gen outside of the SiThe
