If you have a modern smartphone, you could even do a video walk around with that. Maybe include a 4500 rev. Video quality on new iPhones is especially good. Especially if you change it to 4K 60 FPS.
Who’s saying it’s slower? OP said it felt slower… but it’s brand new and not taken past 4500 RPM, so that anecdote shouldn’t be set in stone yet.
Yeah it’ll all come down to how much it’s really making to the wheels.
Hondata is +34hp and +50lb-ft on the non-Si 1.5t for the 11th gen.
To be honest, the road noise is a little more noticeable than it was in the hatch. The suspension is very stiff-super tight, you do feel everything on the road. But- that's what I like when taking it into the on ramps. There's virtually no body roll. I have a main highway right beside me and I've taken the car out a few times to hit the curve. Feels amazing and hugs well. I'm not pushing it too much as it's °0, no snow tires on yet and still keeping low rpm. The sound and ride doesn't bother me, I actually prefer feeling and hearing the road , but I know some people will want a softer ride. It's obvious it's an Si and not an Accord-let's put it that way.
Trust me I'm dying to get to 500 k so I can push it a little. Apparently the gear ratios were changed with 11th grn, you can hit 60 mph in 2nd as opposed to tenth gen you needed third gear. In a couple days I'll know if this is true. Random uneducated guess I'm thinking stock it will do 6.6
is it “nice and engaging” or “ow my spine” kind of stiff? Wonder if this would get tiring for any kind of long commuting
Where did you hear about 2nd gear reaching 60 mph? That would be awesome.
