Props to you for not caving into getting the Mugen version. The price tag is way too high for what is honestly just more flare, in my honest opinion. :) Great car though, nonetheless. Getting mine soon hopefully. :D
what the.. lol i got ripped off .. i am paying 21k for a 2009 honda civic si from carmax LOL .. you paid 23k for the car and it was 2009 i got mine in 2011.
your right about the coupes handling being better. I test drove both the 4dr and 2dr si and felt that the coupe felt sportier. ended up buying a 07 coupe and am very satisfied with my purchase.
LOLZ MUGEN ? MAN YOUR JUST WASTING YOUR MONEY THERES A LOT OF THINGS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME QUALITY AS MUGEN AND CHEAPER. MUGEN PARTS? YOUR PAYING FOR THE NAME !!!
nice car man. im only 17 and this is the car i want.. id maybe get it in white idk i just like white but this black one is making me think twice haha.. first thing ima do to it is change the emblems to the red ones :D you should look into that they look sweet.
I agree with your points 100%, but especially about the lack of a Type R in this country. I'm gonna get my 2010 at the end of this month, but in white. Can't wait.
Good choice. I've got the '08 Civic Si and ran into a similar situation, but the Mugen on the showroom floor was $34k... making my decision even easier to go for the better priced Si.
good choice, the mugens just basically a bragging car because theres only 1000. and if you bought the mugen it probably wouldve got stolen the night of. good choice man
The Mugen was the most overrated Civic in the US ever. I too agree about the Mugen and the price too high. Right now I am stuck between a 2010 Civic Si Coupe and a 2010 Civic Si Sedan. I have had both (2007 Civic Si Coupe/ 2009 Civic Si Sedan) I got the HFP 18" wheels and spoiler kit for both making them look ever so sweet. Anyway, very nice ride you got there.
I know what you mean, I've always hated the single opening at the bottom of the front bumper on the 06-08 4drs. It was too rounded also. The 3 opening and somewhat squared off sides of the 09's look much better.
I was able to get my car for invoice $21,7ish or so(i think). Anyways after taxes it came out to $23,8, which is actually the MSRP so I'm not mad. Even if I would have paid full price the car it still seem like a bargain considering all you get. And if you could put a price on reliability and refinement this cars a total steal at 23 grand.
Mugen is overpriced I have the same car as this, black 09 civic si but couldnt get the nav in this color unless i waited and paid a $800 transit fee after watching this video I should have done it
True that, I was all about the Mugen and honestly didn't even think about getting an 09. Had it not been for the saleman walking away to help another customer I would have a Mugen today, when he walked away I went and checked out the cars on the lot and found 2 I like this two dr and a 4dr w/navi same color. Thank GOD he walked away I saved so much $ going with the 09, not a single regrets what so ever.
Worse performance?!! you should be able to pick up the Mugen For thousands less! Its a leftover!! you could have had that Mugen for the same price as you paid!!
YES WORSE PERFORMANCE google it, I don't just make this stuff up check out c&d mugen si short take side by side comparison. A Si coupe runs to 60 in 6.7 secs the mugen is 6.8 and the coupe is 81lbs lighter do the math. The Mugen's skid pad # is also WORSE at .88g's to the coupes .91g's it is what it is. Regardless, it doesn't matter because I'm not interested in one anymore, I couldn't be happier with the choice I made.
i was in the same shoes as u lol......they had a mugen and a black si sedan.....they looked the same but i took the 09 cuz it was cheaper and yea, black is better lookin lol
Honda Civic Si is called Honda Civic Type R in japan. So either way u wanna call it there the same lol

How is the performance of the Mugen WORSE than the base Si? The Mugen has a better suspension, forged wheels, and a high-flow exhaust.

You made the right purchase. I think the Mugen looks way too boy-racer, whereas the Si looks interesting and stealthy.

Mugen Civic Si looks pale because its a 06-08 body.
2009 Civic looks much better with the revised front and rear.
