test drove the new si today!

RSXtypeIvtec · 07-17-2002

the car was very nice!!
overall, i loved almost everything about it
the engine was very quiet though, not what i expected....although very powerful
i could feel the tourque even in 5th gear, unlike my ex, where i have to floor it just to get it movin!
the shifter was very comfortable, as well as the steering wheel.
it was very roomy inside, bigger than my ex
i would consider trading in my car for the si, if it wasnt so overpriced!
overall, it was a nice car, but just not worth the money.
i would much rather spend a few g's for the Type S!!

That's cool, i like the new Si.....i could just see the way people r gonna start hooking it up........

Standish · 07-18-2002

Yea i am thinking of getting one when i get my liencese back but the price is what is making me rethink it, i want the rsx but insurance will be way to high, so i might just have to try and get the best deal on a SI.

NeoMagus · 07-19-2002

The new Si if your in an area where there not selling well are going for as low as 17k even lower ive heard.

RSXtypeIvtec · 07-19-2002

my dealer still has 6 of them in stock, and they have sold only 2 so far!!
thats pathetic....

SmoothOperator · 07-19-2002

It all depends on where you are. They're selling like hotcakes around here.

Standish · 07-19-2002

Yea they are going for $20 here i am not gonna pay that , if i have to I will go out of state and get one

AlexLx · 07-20-2002

I heard that the new si does not feel as strong as the ex coupes

RSXtypeIvtec · 07-28-2002

i would not agree with that statement at all!
the tourque on that engine, feels twice as powerful as our D blocks..
the only reason why it maybe not feel as powerful would be because of the engine being so quiet....
there was absolutely no noise coming from that hood at all!
the sales person that took me on the ride, let me open it up on the freeway, so yea, i redlined that sucker in every gear till i hit 5th!
it was nice, the pickup on that even in 4 and 5th gear is amazing compared to our slow @$$ civ....
but all in all, still wasnt worth the $

out here in so cal theres one dealership honda of hollywood thats selling them at 15,550, they have like 5 on the lot

Rockthumper · 09-10-2002

I have only seen one on the road in my city, and the dealership nearby has 6.
I was wondering how others liked them because there are only 4 with pics in the
member's rides. They don't seem to be doing that well

iI don't mean to piss in anyones Cheerios but, I drove the SI the day I traded in my 2k1EX, and i thought it in NO way lived up to all the hipe. It didn't feel much quicker than my EX with aem cai and hp header and high flow cat. Not to mention it is ugly as all hell. I bought a Golf GTI, much better car. Germans know what they're doing...

Hiwind · 10-03-2002

yea i love german cars, i had an E30 1984-1991 bmw 325 and it shifted and handled better than my 2002 civic - i was very disappointed in how the honda felt after driving it -
