2012 Honda Civic Si

[obd1-5thgen]

Originally a happy and proud CRZ owner but when the opportunity presented itself I couldn't help but...
Trade in the CRZ





And picked this up...






So far I'm very happy. The AC works better than in the CRZ, visibility is better, love dark interior, and the power/handling is very decent. K24Z7 (Same as TSX) w/ 201hp, 6-speed manual, factory LSD if I'm not mistaken. Ascetically not the best looking Si but its growing on me.

Honestly I am not really impressed with the new SI at all. Does not appeal to me. I hear the interior quality was sub par from what it was. Don't get me wrong I still love the SI and have owned a 8th myself. I just do not see a major change from the 8th to the 9th worthy of making a new purchase for. If anything the car looks awkward more so now then the 8th ever did. Anyways Congrats, I would still love to drive one at some point just to feel the differences in power from 8-9 gen.

Not to mention whoever is designing the SI rims, needs to be taken into a rim creation class on how not to make crappy looking factory production rims. They must have used the guy from the accord lineup.

I dig the shift knob and boot, might have to order them from the dealer for my CR-Z

to me for more reasons than one

8th gen < 9th gen

Steering wheel controls look weird too, the CR-Z design is way too sleek to compare to many others.

How is the ride? Does it feel powerful?
The biggest issue most of the reviewers seemed to have was the power steering and handling not being enough "force feedback," thus it didn't seem like it had the control previous models did.

What are your thoughts?

4th gear torque pull is great!
All the way through 5th and 6th the torque is still there. Just to give you an idea of the difference, I actually tested a 2006 Si and still went with the CRZ. After I drove this Si the torque bump was exactly what was needed. No more hitting vtech just to get in and out of traffic, I can do that **** in 5th all day lol
