@stupidlambo

What's wrong with that? That's kind of the idea with the SI in the first place, to make an affordable yet sporty car for people who can't afford to buy something better. If you don't like them then don't buy one.. but don't hate on people who do

The mazda may have more power, but, just thought i'd mention this... My mom owned a mazda from 2002 to 2012 and only put 58,000 miles on it in that time, and she had to have major repairs done (what i mean by that is over $2,500 in price) twice. In that same period, I owned a 1999 honda civic and put 125,000 miles on it, and NEVER had to have a major repair, only normal wear and tear such as brakes/tires and exhaust. And so, I just bought another one, good power and reliability.. honda wins

@JDMFiyah

I completely agree! lets put that rdx engine in an si!!

[JDMFiyah]

i love hondas as i own a acura tsx modified like a mothafucka but i would tkae the ms3 anyday and honda really needs to come out with a turbo civic or turbo something besides a suv!

@DannyyWayyy that would be cool but it seems that honda is scared of forced induction and making an engine bigger than 6 cylinders.... don't know why

[DannyyWayyy]

honda should turbo the Si.

that would be pretty cool. :D
