I wanted to watch this to get an idea of the speed3's performance and all I got was a video of 10% road and 90% flapping hair. I was laughing the whole time though. He had to have mounted that thing on his left shoulder.
your trouble is that it's a longer throw and you might be using the same amount of clutch in time. that's the only trouble, I've trained my foot to keep the clutch disengaged for that extra fraction of a second, works like a charm.
I don't like how it looks like a base 3 other than the front grill. I wouldn't want people to think that I own a base 3 that costs half the price.
The Si however, looks like a sports car, but lacks the torque and some horsepower.
However, the Si seems to be the more popular choice, maybe because people like me dislike the hatchback look and the close resemblance to the basic model.
Bought a 2dr SI this year.....had it 6months and test drove a MS3...needless to say I drove homein the MS3. The 2 should not even be compared. I loved my civic forthe short period i owned it, but week after week of getting smoked at Beaver run and Summit point by MS3's I opened my eyes and am now smoking any civic in my sight
I've driven all three, and let me tell you, it should really be between the MS3 and the WRX. The Si is cool, but if you are really out there for performance (and aren't dead set on N/A) then the Si really falls short of the other two. Now I think the MS3 is a more finished package, but the WRX and its AWD has potential in the long run.
i hear ya on the view of the video...but.... back to the reason for the video... the MS3!!! i love mine! thing is fast as fu*k!!!! for this price and car class its the best thing going! ms3 all the way!!!!
I own the same car. It is just outstanding. Great handling and it can smoke a civic R anyday. LOL And if you talk about upgrades you can pump a new turbo and be +300 ponies... but.. that would be way to fast scary!!
why were you even watching this in the 1st place. if you aint liking this car, then hold your ponnies and shut up. you've just shown the world your immaturity. a real grown up civic fan just let's his ride do the talking.
@bdbl0 I raced my cousins speed3 ( with CAI) on my stock 2008 civic si sedan and we were even until 60 ) and when I shifted to a 3rd gear in a second he started to go away from me )
@alexlugovoy I believe that !! speed 3's aint worth shit in 1st or 2nd gear. From owning 2 of them, I'll be the first to admit that. They don't make good power till 3rd gear.
Good grief! Poor camera placement shows us nothing but some dudes mop flapping in the wind. And if he's on a race track, why isn't he wearing helmet? This video is useless.
I agree w/ you but it was the only footage we had. We didn't have enough time to figure out a better camera mounting position. We are working on it. Believe me... I don't want to see my big head either. ;-)

interesting review - got a question: did you experience any trouble of getting into third gear while running hard?

Yes. I have a problem shifting into 3rd while running hard. I believe it's a universal problem, unfortunately.

@roszko You're probably messing up your trans. It's not an F1 paddle shifter, don't expect it to shift as fast as one.

It doesn't look like a base 3. It looks like the a Grand Touring Hatchback, which
is $5000 less, not half the price.
The Civic Si looks like a kiddie toy.

Nice writeup. I am down to three cars, my short list is: '09 Civic Si, '09 mazdaspeed3, '09 WRX
but I may drive the speed3 first and compare from there
