It's growing on me...

The new civic is anyway. I really didn't like the design at first, but the more I see of it, the more I like it, especially the interior.

well, it certainly looks better than the bland one that it replaces.

no doubt, 17 year olds will be pulling up next to me in no time, engine revving, hoping i will race them. which i won't.

RENESIS_NEENJA 09-21-2005 03:17 PM

agreed, a huge improvement over the current SI, the stick seems to have been moved further down as well...I hated the placement of it on the previous models...

lining the civic si's tach righ above trhoad's avatar, it strikes me as a eerie resemblance :o

Yeah but we got that extra 2000 rpm ;) :D

It's not bad. I think they did a good job redesigning the civic

BlueEyes 09-21-2005 04:00 PM

I think I took that tach picture from a non-si civic. Don't know if the si gets higher redline.

Gambit 09-21-2005 04:17 PM

I seem to remember hearing it had a high one...like 8k or so

hagar852 09-21-2005 04:23 PM

Doesn't look bad at all.. I just hope they made it more difficult to put those stupid mufflers on this car compared to the other civics. About 7 out 10 civics that I see have that stupid muffler...


WWWWAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Makes it sound like a weed wacker. A lot of other cars use them too though.

Gambit 09-21-2005 04:23 PM

found it


2006 Civic Si will be the fastest and most powerful production Civic ever. Close-ratio 6-Speed Manual Transmission, A 200-horsepower, 16-valve, dual-overhead cam, inline four-cylinder engine with an 8,000 rpm redline boasts the latest generation of i-VTEC technology to produce optimum power, optimum efficiency, and optimum levels of emissions.

Must have been the redline gnome.

QBallz 09-21-2005 06:21 PM

Sorry I still think the styling is really bland.

ECHO1 09-21-2005 07:50 PM

starting less than 20K, it's a pretty good deal. i wouldn't mind having one as a daily driver.

LiveToRev 09-21-2005 08:05 PM

I think the interior looks pretty nice too. With similar performance and costing thousands less than a RSX-S, should be a hot seller.

i really like the dash my self, nice color combinations and sleek lines in the interior and exterior. I doubt its going to be a hot seller though, I see maybe 1 rsx-s for every 8-10 regular rsx on the road. civic SI is a niche market car that only appeals to enthusiats. And there isnt a lot of us out there.

Tigster 09-21-2005 08:48 PM

I like it this car will have a huge aftermarket following very quickly. It is a huge improvement over the one it replaces.

Rhawb 09-21-2005 09:49 PM

It's almost...dare I say it?

Classy.

:o

interior = nice front nose = ugly

Too bad it still has the mac struts. ivtec doesn't do it for me. Nothing beat the intensity of the older b16a's. I wouldn't mind a used type r for my daily driver either.

snizzle 09-21-2005 11:24 PM

the instrument cluster is just retarted

dwill9578 09-22-2005 09:14 AM

My first car was a 96 red coupe ex, I have never loved a car sooooo much. I think it's GREAT looking inside and out, I'd own one any day.

I-Vtec doesn't do it for you? It's just a more advanced version of the Vtec used on the B16. It makes more a great deal more power. The B16 we got was only 160 horsepower and it didn't rev this high, at least I don't think so. You should test drive this car, it is subtly powerful and has a very nice sound to it. Honda did a very good job on this one.

Have you test driven the Si? I thought it wasn't out yet.
