2002 Sport Hatchbacks Comparison Test

http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/compa...0/article.html

Here's a comparison between the New Beetle Turbo S, Honda Civic Si and Ford Focus SVT.

There's some mad trash talking about the new Si. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]



Sorry if it's a repost, but I didn't see it when I searched.

EVERYBODY is trash talking it, including Car&Driver, Motor Trend and Road&Track.

Can't say I blam them.

It is the worst value in the history of Honda. Worst value in that market, period.

well ppl bashin the SI right now.. its brand new.. im guessin that people that do buy an SI are into the modding scene. so Turbo/SuperCharger/N20 will certainly make the new SI a beast. and wen RSX- Type S swaps become more accessable the SI will be unstoppable.

I totally agree with the article about the Si. Especially the part where they offer Honda some advice about what they should have done.

"For Honda, we offer the following Civic Si version 5.1 patch: Offer it in black only, give the car the 200-hp RSX Type-S engine, install the European Type R body kit and bolt on some slick 17-inch wheels. Call it the Civic SiR. Have a nice day. We anxiously await the update."

That's really sad for a couple reasons. One the Ford Focus beat is and two if road and track and car and driver are saying the car sucks then you know it has to be bad. They are VERY Honda biased and it always shows. So for them to say the car isn't anything worth owning or worth buying you know it has to be bad.

The worst value. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Sure, whatever. Don't like, don't buy it. Let's not forget the Honda Passport which is a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo with leather for about $7000 more. What kind of value does that have, hmmm?
