Great review, as always, especially your reaction flooring the real fast cars. Lol The Si is an awesome car, especially fir the price. I like the sedan,but prefer an automatic, but would consider the 6 Speed manual for the Si Sedan or Fit Sport HFP. I will most likely get a Civic Sport Hatchback CVT, but like many say, it is would be great if the Si equipment were offered in the Civic Sport Hatchback. The option and performance mix would be the best thing, as an alternative to the Sport Touring Hatchback. I thought the Continental tires on the Sport Hatchback was the same All Season tires on the Si, and the Goodyear Sport tires shown on your videos were the optional summer performance tires, unless that was mistakenly a video of another vehicle. Boomba Racing has a lower torque dampener engine mount that helps address the engine flex and wheel hop, and Hondata has engine tuning for even more power for the Si, Sport Hatchback, and other Civics. Overall, you can't lose with the Civic Sport Hatchback, Si, or Type R, plus the available simple aftermarket parts mods, tuning and accessories.

@skifree06 жыл бұрын
I think you are overhyping VTEC a bit much. It's not important on Turbo cars. For a long response, remember VTEC was a system to adjust valve lift at high engine RPM to attain higher volumetric efficiency. Basically you creating a bigger opening for the air to be sucked in by the piston. a more specialized version of this called i-VTEC was this system and with VTC (variable timing). In the Si, there really is no point with opening valve larger, it's force induction, volumetric efficiency is already over 100% at WOT. making the intake opening bigger doesn't make a large difference when the air coming in is already under 15psi. Also the VTC part is still included in the current motor. as for the type-R motor and why that one has VTEC. It's not even the same system. the K20C vtec works on the EXHAUST CAM ONLY. it's also an inverted cam, where it switches on at lower rpm and shuts off at higher rpm. They do this, as this allows more flow out the exhaust manifold to help spool the turbo. And they chose not to do this on the 1.5L because physically the TD03 turbo is so tiny, that it doesn't really need this system. I can understand if you miss the high revving soul of old honda, but shoehorning in VTEC in these motors isn't going to fix that.
@admirkaralic72096 жыл бұрын
I understand, but VTEC gave a character to these cars, until someone puts a fart can as an exhaust, but that's a different matter. Every car in the industry had something and Honda had VTEC on High Revving Engines. I love the look of the New cars, but I don't understand what is special about them now, other than being Turbo charged Honda's ? They've lost that character feel to the car, that meaning to purchase a Civic, but also they've lost their Fun factor, I had a old Honda Civic 2000, not very powerful, but man does that thing drive nice. The newer ones, just feel like toys full of Useless Tech ( at last useless to me )
