Im 16 and im bout to get a car nd i was thinking of a honda civic Si coupe nd i was wondering if 1. Is it fast. 2. Is tourque steer a problem? If so how bad is it.
@0SpyderScope couldnt help you with the torque question, but the speed question. most of the cars in that category arent like ferraris, but they are a like bit more "peppy" than typical sedans.
@0SpyderScope This car is quick enough for a new driver. You will have no complaints, and nobody is expecting a 16 year old to take on a real performance car. It is light, and the engine gets the job done, exceptionally well. Torque steer is noticeable because it is a light FWD car with more than enough power, but any good driver can handle it well. Best of luck!
dont get why people hate on this car... its a nice commuter car that has loads of after market upgrades for those who do choose to want to get more power.
im a nissan and toyota guy ... but im not a fan ! and I like honda too! Si and Rsx! lov it! my gf has a Si 09 red like this! and i enjoy hitting vtec on it ! just like my XRS lift :D so fun!
i wont have enough money for an si until the next gen... hopefully some of the stuff found on the cr-z will be used in it...(dash color-change, led tailights, hid's) im hoping honda goes down that road all across their line-up
I hate the weight of this car. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if it wasn't using a detuned engine that was conceived 10 years ago. So anyone who bought an RSX Type S pretty much should've bought something else. (That car was a mistake anyway.) My guess is that the next gen SI probably won't see a better power to weight ratio.
I do like the car's styling. It is the most attractive style between the Hondas/Acuras that were on the Civic chassis from 01 to the present. Civic > RSX in style.
Your talkin about a whole other class WRX STI is not a 4 cylinder and theyre all wheel drive and come with turbochargers. Your an idiot for comparing that car to the SI
@ObviouslyBoredKid a wrx sti is a 4 cylinder. its a horizontally opposed 4 cylinder with a turbocharger. but you are right, it is another class because it turbocharged and allwheel drive.
@westy19801 european type r sucks, doesn't even have independent rear suspension. the spoiler goes right through the back window so you can't see anything. the only thing i like about the euro type r is that its a hot hatch, but driving wise the si is wayy better.
this or the scion tc? im getting my first car pretty soon, so im choosing between these two...any suggestions? also if i get the tc i will be getting the manual
i,ve just bought a civic type R[ in the uk ] and just got rid of my ST because had too many problems with it. and out of all the cars i test drove the HONDA had the most SOUL yes the MAZDA was faster in a straight line and the golf was smoother but non put a smile on my face like the honda civic type r[ SI same engine ] go get the honda because if not you,ll regret it.
no one asked u about that...and im pretty sure the 2009 civic si is just as hard to steal as the wrx....lojack for the win? dont make retarded comments.
This is one of the few remaining Honda models that I find interesting. I care nothing for the Element, their Truck and I am not really excited by the Fit. Accord is expensive and full size now.
If you are into Honda you should check this SI out. Rival to the GTI, the Civic SI is a Honda "sporty" model. You will have to REV IT LIKE CRAZY to attack. That is the style of Honda attack... to REV it hard. Dislike some of the interior style. Learn to drive stick.

@0SpyderScope I don't think the torque steer would be a problem, to be honest. It's not turbo charged like the MazdaSpeed3.

@porbonostar Perhaps..but with the Chevy, it will be in the shop for repairs much much more than the more solid Civic Si.
So while the piece of shit chevy is in the shop, Civic si owners will still be on the street enjoying their ride...lol
