Finally this forum will start having real owners, not lost guys posting in the first forum they see...

less power, more torque, no more high rev...
The body seems to have had slight modifications since the protos?
Coupe seems more fluid?

posted some of the info in the official website

iSharix

When will this be in Canada ?

MelJ

Thanks for the info. Not feeling it, personally. I'd rather get a Mazdaspeed3 for a little more.

I don't dig it either, even if the coupe lines are better than before... I just want to make it clear that this is a 2012+ civic forum - tired of all the 1-8th gen guys posting in here just because it is the top one in the forum available they don't even read that this is a "do not post in here" explanation under the forum description
And it is a good way to keep the records for 15 years in the future
I am actually having a hard time to find more info on the official sources on the 7th gen...

Budahhead

I'm impressed with the the 31 more torques that the engine has and it makes them at 4400 revs. I'm not impressed with the 201 HP at redline. 8th gen Si made their peak power a few hundred revs before the redline. I'm also not impressed with the gas pedal, it was floor mounted in the 8th gen Si. Other than that, I think it's alright. I'd still get a WRX for the same amount of money though.

Budahhead

Just saw a first drive video of the Si coupe. You can't put an aftermarket exhaust header on it because the stock manifold goes right into the cylinder head. I'm not sure on what that means, but the the guy who was doing the video said that. I'm sticking with my 8th gen si.

I am assuming that the exhaust/intake are integrated in one , so hard to make one.

I will just bump this, so hopefully the desperate idiots that post anywhere they please will see that this forum is for 2012 civics...

A little more info for those interested:

Lol @ the memebait line.

asianboy781

i like the inside of the car, specially the dash with vtec light that was carry over from the jdm civic type r, they lost the heritage of what a high performance honda sport should be,
high rev 8k rpm redline, with this one you only getting up to 7 and vtec engaged at 5500 rpm, that only gives you 2500 rpm of fun then shift. i wan't to see the car in person with honda full HFP kit then i make my final judgment. I gues i will be keeping my 6th gen si and wait for toyota rwd sport compact that will be coming out soon

jrb121180

I dont know if im feeling it either. I'm going to have to see one in person. To me the back end looks like the Accord Coupe sorta. However, im feeling the interior though. Nice and spiffy!

Today i went to several alignment shops to find a place to align the car. Bummer, these "need an appointment" stuff in Canada is kind of annoying...
Ended up in Honda dealer, hope they will do a good job... (wishful thinking...).
Anyway, there was one 2012 there.
No wonders, i looked around the car, some details different, but first chance i got, i looked under the car... (who would have tought i would do that? )F/R configuration seems to be similar to 8th gen, but could not hang in there too long, too many guys in there after the launch...
There was a plastic cover underneath the chassis, too (same as the hybrid?)
And some odd metal reinforcement? or just to hold the plastic cover? attached to the rear sub-frame? WTF?

bump for 2012 vics showing on the top in the forum... Another one came posting a 2002stuff

marccayen

The new Si uses the I-vtec engine just like the old one. So vtec should kick in as soon that you stomp on the pedal and not at a set rpm like older models do.

I build these civics everyday and I can say that honda is trying to keep up with hyundai who seems to buy their customers with gadgets. Honda seems to have cheaped out on this gen to keep up with hyundai. It is still a very good car and you get what you pay for and I still believe that the new model is still the better "Affordable" car on the market but its not like previous gen's. 8th Gen civic was better built imo.

bump AGAIN... Another 2 desperate idiots that think they have 2012 vics to posted in this 9th gen forums yet again...

iTrader: (1)

another bump because the idiot posted again asking "where do i post about the 2006?"

iSharix

I have learned something new today.

Some honda owners have trouble reading, LOL

Budahhead

I own an 8th gen Si. I smile every time I hear it go into VTEC at 6000 revs. This 9th gen Si has a light to tell you when you hit VTEC. Why? That is because you can no longer hear VTEC kick in. I frown when that happens.
