thoughts on the 11th gen civic si?
>>28609381Raped by the Civic Hybrid
>>28609381good if you're a family man who grew up in the 2000s and want to LARP as a street racer with a 500hp civic
>>28609381they had to take out the turbo model from the 11th gen just so it didn't eat up civic si sales. a piggyback tune made a 10th gen civic sport a sub 5 second car.
the last gen was better, they made it less aggressive to sell to women.
>>28609381It's a Civic.
Better looking than the 10th gen civic si, which was ugly boyracer ricer shitHorrible rev hangSoulless car/10 >>28609384Yep. Faster and more fuel efficient, no reason not to get the hybrid
>>28609381One of the few manuals left. If you need the practicality of four doors, it's a good choice vs Miata or BRZ
Pretty good Civic. Rev hang is annoying and the clutch is too numb feeling but you get used to it and how to drive it smoother. less efficient and slower than a hybrid but who honestly cares because lol a fucking automatic vs a manual car and who tf is drag racing a stock civic in current year. Interior is very nice, and Si seats are awesome. Overall great pick for a manual daily driver.
>>28609599Why the FUCK would you get this in manual kek, you gotta be stupid as fuck
>>28609381Better looking than 10th genHas an LSD, unlike ze germans, which is niceRev hang sucksEngine sucks, should've gotten the 250 hp version of the K20 turboShould've been available as a hatchback tooSucks that they took out the heated seat option to not eat into Integra sales
>>28609681Because I’m better than you
>>28609687Mine has heated seats m8
>>28609384Fpbp. The hybrid is FASTER and more efficient? Why does this thing even exist?>muh manualOh, of course. Despite the fact that manuals are inferior in speed and efficiency now, a few people still want a manual option. Most of these people never buy new, however.
>>28609381The Volkswagen Jetta GLI rapes it in every catagory.
>>28609681>why would you buy something enjoyable and fun to drive????because he isn't retarded and poor like you are, faggot-kun
>>28609700>worse manual trans>worse feedback>worse audio systemGLI does look good but that's all about it has over it
Just get an elantra n
>>28609726>hyundai ever
>>28609726you know what the N stands for, don't you?
>>28609599Holy shit you're retarded buying that over a very lightly used Integra
>>28609384They should make a Civic Sport/Si hybrid with Si suspension, brakes and LSD>new preludeThat one has Type R chassis so it will be more expensive
>>28609681/n/ is that way anon
>>28609771Are you fucking retarded? They’re the same car.
>>28609681Because Merrymutts have a sense of pride from it. They probably tell all their coworkers and friends that its a MANUAL sports car or something
>>28609726This, a DCT N is probably the 2nd best FWD car you can buy in 2025Its raped by the civic type R/integra type S but $10k-$15k more.
>>28609381It's a good Accord. Things to keep in mind - rev hang, turbo lag, no 8.5k redline. Fuckhueg. I actually like the seats better. I cross-shopped it with the Type R.Iirc you also get the issue where your head hits the roof, but not 100% on that one.>>28609384At that point you get a Prius.>>28609726I don't remember what the price diff is, but it might make sense if you are young and like performance.In short, it's a good daily with none of the Si heritage.
>>28609381>30k for a Honda with an ecoboost enginegg at 70k
>>28609778One has a way nicer interior and doesnt look like dogshit
>>28609778don't listen to that retard the advantage the integra has is being a hatchback though
Sure thing hoss
>>28609844Now post the shitty looking civic seats
>>28609844Absolutely fucking disgusting. Honda is dead.
>>28609849
>>28609832>One has a way nicer interiorThat's Integra>and doesnt look like dogshitThat's Civic
>>28609849They look good. I am not sure you have seen modern interiors, but that's one of the better looking ones.
>>28609844>>28609855>same interior, except integra has less legroom for the passenger because of that part that goes under the dashboard to the center consoleWow, worth the premium
>>28609911>cmon bro it’s totally worth $8000+ more for some piano black and some faux leather bullshit
>>28609384>Raped by the Civic HybridSimilar performance, but it's e-CVT, break even on fuel savings is like 10+ years and 100,000+ miles, at which point you need to spend $5k on a new battery which eliminates your fuel 'savings'. SI has some major drawbacks but Hybrid isn't the clearly better choice to me. I like manual transmissions.
>>28609738>you know what the N stands for, don't you?I want to get one just for this kek.
>>28609925Leather is such a nice seat material, when it's freezing cold out the leather is really cold, and when it's hot out the leather is really hot. Amazing. Fantastic. I'd pay anything for that.Also I'd say the decision about the SI vs Integra really comes down to the hatchback. Drivetrain is identical, interior is a wash, the price delta is large and frankly the Integra prices itself out of the market because if you are willing to spend $38k or whatever it is there are much better options, even hatchbacks, at that price. This is probably why the Integra sold like shit and is being discontinued. Acura is a CUV exclusive brand now.
>>286099982.0t + 10spd auto would've gone a long way in the integraI dont get why they just dont even try
>>28610008Sad reality is the American market just doesn't have a lot of non-SUV buyers in it. It's hard to imagine what they could have done to the Integra to get normies to buy it. SUVs are fucking gay and they rule our world.
>>28610018For sure. I'm not someone who says useless bullshit like "if only the integra were a rwd wagon with an 400hp inline 6 it would have sold really well" But a 1.5t, sub 200hp + CVT on a "premium brand" car is ridiculous, even normies would know that its slow as balls. normies may not know shit about engines or transmissions, but they expect a level of performance and feel from an acura integra.I like sedans, and im not crying about the integra being discontinued, if this is what the integra has to offer.
>>28610023Well said. Hugely disappointed in the reveal, and then twice as disappointed when the MSRP was released. At first I thought "maybe they're just being really aggressive on price and that's an ok strategy too", but nope, it's expensive AND shit. I don't know the internal costs of manufacturing so it's hard for me to say but I can't imagine that this car couldn't have been sold for a lot less. Competitors all outclass it in power by A LOT and I just don't get how Honda couldn't figure it out. At $40k it's competing with the GR Corolla and WRX, both with 75 horsepower advantage, and GLI which is $8k cheaper but 75 hp advantage. RIP. It was never a "real" Integra and it's going to die now anyway.
>>28609381>civic keeps getting heavier>civic si still only has 200 fucking hpWhy get this? Honda had NA engines making over 200hp 20 years ago.
>>28609971The Si is literally slower than the goofy ahh hybrid. Pathetic, really.
>>28610035Emissions
>>28609381A Passat?
>>28610087>ebonics>tesla fanboyFound you, you faggot.
>>28609381Same power as the 8th gen Civic Si on a smaller, less reliable, less fun engine. Weighs more than the 8th gen civic Si. Bigger externally than a 7th gen Accord. Shit visibility. Numb ass EPS. Slow as balls from digs because Honda still can't make a 2nd synchro that doesnt suck. Gets rolled the fuck up by a 25 year old Accord V6. Expensive for a tarted up stickshift econobox.You know, typical Nu-Si things.>>28609698automatics are still retarded in current year.>muh efficiencyi measure efficiency in miles per engine, not microgram-NOx/km or MPG, and speeding is for niggers. Automatics are built to cheat emissions first and foremost and never drive good out of the box. Do i want to spend hours with my laptop trying to tune the retarded TCM to make it choose gears correctly? No, which is why I drive manual.
>>28610111That's a lot of words to say that a manual civic si is a slow ugly and gay car in addition to being fuel inefficient
>>28610115>t
>>28610115saying ">hurr USG" doesn't do it justice, it's an affront to everything that made the Si good.>manual civic sidumb nigger thinks he can go buy an civic si in DCT
>>28610125> it's an affront to everything that made the Si goodThere is nothing good about a fucking civic si lmao Its a slow, FWD 4 cylinder piece of shit that the dealer convinced you was more "sporty" than a base civic >>28610122Saar
>>28610129Oh is your car slower than a tessie? Faggot.
>no you have to get the appliance version that goes to 60mph faster!!!>yeah, automatics are better!
>>28609381last one looked so cringe nobody serious could be seen driving it. I'm positive this one will sell much better.
>my FWD 4cylinder slow piece of shit econobox is not an appliance because it has le manual
>>28610175I’m aware my Si is an appliance, that it literally why I bought it lol it drives me back and forth to work. Is being a benchracer for cars you can’t afford like a fun thing?
>>28610175Why you guys miserable all the timewhy is an anon driving a manual econobox triggers you. LITERALLY nothing wrong with it
>>28610129It's reliable, ok looking, ok handling sedan with modern amenities. You can't do much better for the price.And don't start on used - that's a completely different convo.
>>28610186So why'd you call the hybrid the appliance version if yours is an appliance too? Is it like an autism thing that in the Si you get to play with a shifter when you drive to work as opposed to a hybrid? >can’t affordIm 23 and i bought my MANUAL car in cash last year and it was more expensive than $30k lelDifference is it sends 450hp to the rear wheels ONLYIm not saying that just to say i have a better car than you, because there are people with better cars than me... it's that you think your car is better than a civic hybrid and its hilarious... >>28610199insufferable ppl who think their manual 2003 corolla is more fun to drive than an automatic m3 competition "appliance"these are not real car enthusiasts, theyre just autists who need to keep fidgeting with something>>28610216Unironically an elantra N with a dct is more respectable than a civic si
>>28610223Nepobaby going OFF about the job mommy and daddy snatched for him like a cuban link
>>28610226Kek civic si and lives in bumfuck nowhere, congrats about the "affordable" house though
>>28610228Mfw my home ownership lives rent free in this little incel's brainPorsche 911HomeownerWhiteBiggus DickusYou will never be me fr fr
Mon visage quand this little braggart didn't even pay for his education, used his parent's connections to land him a job in the same field, STILL lives at home with them, but hey, at least he's riding high in one of America's most obnoxious nigmobiles.
>>28610230ok unc hows old age treating you?
>guys my parents were poor and incompetent and i married a fat ugly whore, that makes me a better person kek typical millennial
>>28610223I said “the appliance version that goes to 60mph faster”, as in, “the version of the appliance that goes to 60 faster”> Is it like an autism thing that in the Si you get to play with a shifter when you drive to work as opposed to a hybrid?I like driving manuals, that’s it. I don’t like having a transmission that I’m not in control of, or have to put in “sport mode” to not have it upshift as fast as possible. That’s why only 3 of the 11 cars that I own are automatic. I had no say in their choice of transmission though.>Difference is it sends 450hp to the rear wheels ONLYRiveting story. My 35 year old Nissan does 493 all wheel horsepower and I have a dyno sheet to back it up. My paid for $58k MSRP Mach 1 does somewhere in the neighborhood of 400rwhp too. No one cares.>it's that you think your car is better than a civic hybrid and its hilarious...Because it is.
>>28610223>Unironically an elantra N with a dct is more respectable than a civic siIt's note "more respectable", I already said it's an option if you are a child who wants performance.>>28610223You are literally below middle class if you aren't under 27. Here is more discussion on the middle class: >>28607590
>>28610242> My paid for $58k MSRP Mach 1 does somewhere in the neighborhood of 400rwhp too lel youre the mancave guy. you have mostly cool carsanyways im not the one who brought up 'cant afford' in response to reasonable criticisms about your civic... > or have to put in “sport mode” to not have it upshift as fast as possibleYes you set it to sport mode, and thats it, you have all the control you need lol. Whats the big deal? Some cars were just designed for automatics.... not only fwd econoboxes like civics...the ct5 blackwing is probably better with an auto, all M cars are better with an auto... probably top end porsches are as well... I am talking about cars i have never driven, but it seems silly to dismiss them as "not having enough control" >>28610251im 23. i only responded to the >lol ur too poor accusation
>>28610223>>28610251Oh> 23Yea, that's exceptional if self-earned. Inclined to agree with >>28610226 on nepobaby obviously.
>>28610223I drive a car I bought for $5k.
>>28610269Again, context. Age drops that hard. Is fixing your car really the best use of your time?Your 5k car will cost more in parts than depreciation on some new cars.
>>28610269How much did you have at 23This is pretty reasonable for like a 30-40 year old guy. >>28610263You can believe whatever makes you feel better about your personal shortcomings. I want you to be happy.
>>28610273I wasn't in this convo earlier, just reading along until I saw we were posting accounts kek. The car is dead reliable, had no issues so far and I've had it for two years and 20k miles, I really enjoy it. It's a fun car and I just like shitboxes. I have to say it's hilarious that whenever I post it some kid with a Camaro at 27% interest calls me poor kek. I usually don't reply. They need the ego boost more than I do.
>>28610262> response to reasonable criticisms about your civic...“Manual is worse” isn’t a reasonable criticism, and you literally posted a reddit neckbeard pic lol tf are you talking about “reasonable criticisms”>mancave guyQue>Yes you set it to sport mode, and thats it, you have all the control you need lol. Whats the big deal?What part of “i don’t like automatic transmissions” are you not grasping? I tell the car what to do, not the other way around. The Si and the Mach 1 both have a “sport mode” regardless and all it does is change the throttle 0-100% throw. It’s dumb.>ct5 blackwing is probably better with an auto, all M cars are better with an auto... probably top end porsches are as well...Literally not true. See: E46 M3 SMG. The ONLY thing these automatic versions are better at is setting lap times that no owner will ever come close to attempting. It’s just magazine figures that retards parrot to seem cool.
>>28610278No one here called you poor, but you arent rich either Youre posting an account balance that a 100iq man should have by age 30, 35 max
>>28610278I only reply to people posting accounts since it opens up that conversation. I drove a 2008 Civic up until recently and I did the math on depreciation vs JUST parts, and it didn't make sense anymore. >>28610277> You can believe whatever makes you feel better about your personal shortcomings.If you somehow made that at 23 without mommy and daddy, it's very impressive. It's virtually impossible without either having a business, lucking out hard, or working at shit jobs starting at 15yo.
>>28610288And this is why we are also going to have a revolution, because "should" and it really is what gets you a middle class lifestyle, but most people don't have that.I am: >>28610289 >>28610273 >>28609822

That's an interesting way of saying that you don't have access to good food from all parts of the globe.

>>28610302> Why are amerimutts obsessed with proving how disconnected they were from their family to impress others?It's a simple matter of being self-made or not. If you aren't self-made, it's not a bad thing, but you lose your right to brag about it. Simple.> I went to the company's website. Clicked apply. Uploaded my resume. Passed the interviews. Got hired. Not that hard.No.There isn't a single job that pays that much in a year after tax. FAANG might get you to 250 total comp PRE-tax. Too young for medschool, definitely not 1/10,000 exceptional, so back to family. Common sense.
>>28610338>horrorbitch you a villain from a keenan wayans movie shut the whole ass fuck up
>>28610342people can save up money before their graduation/full time job through multiple internships >total compthe equity portion can grow immensely
>>28610353You are 23. Your equity portion didn't grow for shit in the last 2 years even if you take the best FAANG. Take your 40k, double it for 2 years and double it again for best FAANG. That's still 160k.>people can save up money before their graduation/full time job through multiple internshipsYour 2 years of internship didn't pay for shit, and certainly not your living expenses, even if we assume you got a "full ride", aka tuition.Though I guess this is all on the edge of plausible if parents paid for housing and expenses the entire time AND you got a full ride.
>>28610376you don't know how whitepilling it is to see you in this much disbelief over what i find to be a completely normal situation for someone my age considering i know many others in my cohort in this situation, some doing even betterThank you for this bro
>>28610302>Uploaded my resume. Passed the interviewsThe average asshole isn't going to get to do that. Smug asshole genocide best day of my life.
>>28610343Too embarrassed to post it again, Fletcher?

>>28610399>your cohortThat's the key there. Target university, in a target major, with a year head jump on competition, with the opportunity to do FAANG internships.If you don't understand how rare that is, you really don't understand how things work.
>>28610407He did it all himself, but it was paid for by his parents while he lived in their house in one of the most expensive places in the US
>>28610424Right. It's one of those things where I have never seen anyone drop out of college for academic reasons, but I know plenty of people who did because they had nowhere to live.If true, I am sure I will find zero expenses, no scholarship, college and living expenses paid for by parents, no shit jobs during high school, etc, but it's whatever. Dude is pretty much set for life if he doesn't fuck up the vesting period.
Man all your parents had to be was in the top 41% (in a country that's 56% non white lol) and you would be as "privileged" as me.
>>28610443>in a country that's 56% non white lolIt's just ragebait at this point. Thanks for proving you're some non-white bug person though, this was fun while it lasted.
>>28609381It's a pretty good daily with a manual.They are pretty decent braking and turning wise. Acceleration is ok below 80 mph, beyond that it's slow.
>>28610175yes, retard.
>>28610433Would you describe your parents as being incompetent? Do you believe that intelligence lies in genetics?
>>28610490Sure @ genetic intelligence. The discussion is about whether or not you are self-made though.
literally has no right to exist when Elantra N is a few grand more and rapes the piss out of it
>>28609381Ugly and huge just like the last one.

>>28610500my favorite rapist here to save the day from hondacucks >>28610495Since my parents are both above 100IQ, had me after marriage, and didn't divorce, i was set for life. I guess i am not self made, to answer your question.What about your parents, did they meet these requirements?
>>28610530> I guess i am not self made, to answer your question.That's that then.This conversation isn't about me. Both my parents are phds, I just don't go around flexing things that aren't my accomplishments. That's also why I am able to fact check you so easily.
>>28610533> Both my parents are phds> That's also why I am able to fact check you so easilyYeah takes one nepobabby to spot another nepobabby kek :)
>>28610533Although it is tragic that you consider being above 100IQ and having a stable marriage as some sort of great accomplishment by parents to bestow to their children. So on the other hand I seriously doubt both of your parents are PHDs.
>>28610544Except they are.Nobody except you said anything about 100IQ - most people at FAANG / medical / C-suite in real companies will test between 115 - 130. I am just very familiar with the other side of things as well, and understand that the pitchforks are coming, so you might want to be careful with your flexing. With that said, I am not going to post any proof whatsoever, so take it or leave it.
>>28610555>I just don't go around flexing things that aren't my accomplishments>Both my parents are phdsAnd according your logic it is impossible for you to actually have any accomplishments because you're a nepobaby lol... >I am just very familiar with the other side of things as wellAw did genetic recombination not work out when your phd parents had you lol, you didn't get your mommy and daddys smart genes>>28610555>flexingIm not the one flexing retard, i only responded to someone calling me poor.

You can have accomplishments, but they have to deviate upward from your expected accomplishments that you were on the path to from birth, aka a top 5% income job.> Aw did genetic recombination not work out when your phd parents had you lol, you didn't get your mommy and daddys smart genesYou say that after you tried to list a 100IQ as a standard. The irony.> Im not the one flexing retard, i only responded to someone calling me poor.Posting your nepobaby NW in a normal setting is flexing.>There are others in this very thread actually flexing about net worths higher than mine and cars more expensive than mine.I already talked to the 2.5 mil middle-class Porsche fag in the other thread.

>>28610615What the tiny dick chink cryin' about?
>>28609381Soulless. Even though everyone hated the previous gen because of styling, they at least realized that the civic was meant to be a small, sportier handling car. This one is just another cheap compact sedan.
>>28610637No I have fake shifting with my eCVT
>>28609381it's sexy as fuck. its the best manual to learn on and it's just nice all around. you will get passed by focus STs, wrx's, and even most embarrassing, accord sports. but the car itself is nice for the price. I just took mine to tail of the dragon, which is like the best test for a front wheel drive car like this.
>>28609971>but it's e-CVTAn e-CVT is just a stupid marketing term. It’s basically a series hybrid with a fixed (overdrive) gear for the engine to drive the wheels directly at highway speeds. There’s not even a transmission to break.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-P_VChtMGK8
>>28610111.>Numb ass EPSThis is how you spot retards who just parrot “journalists” Honda’s EPS is better than 95% of hydraulic systems out there, new or used.

>>28611230Yeah pretty good. It’s a Bose sound system
>>28611173No I know, I think it's cool how it works. It's objectively better at being a car, but it's less fun to me. And over a long time of use it is not really cheaper since efficiency gains are lost to battery replacement costs.

>>28612100:skull: this nigga tarded :skull:
>>28612211Nigga we're gay...
>>28609384Unironically this. A Civic Si is a pointless model. Either get the Hybrid or the CTR. The Si is gay
>>28612588>yeah bro just spend $20k more for a CTR for reasons Si is cheaper than a hybrid. Is manual with an LSD.
>>28612424>>28612241Tesla is to Civic Hybrid as Civic Hybrid is to Civic SI
>>28609381bloated bitch is the size of an accord.i really miss the thin small civics
>>28612602The Si costs more than the hybrid.
>>28612679Is Sport Touring Hybrid a better match for SI's level of options?
>>28612679
>>28612710Si has cloth heated seats unique to the Si, Bose sound system, built in Google shit and wireless CarPlay, single zone automatic hvac, and again a manual transmission with an LSD. As far as luxury options it sits between a sport and a sport touring.
>>28612710Not really, the Sport Touring is a more luxury package for people who prefer a softer ride, leather seats, and an active noise cancelling system. I think it represents even more of the "car as an appliance" idea than the base hybrid.
>>28612751All three of these cars have heated seats, the Bose speakers, the 9" screen are shared between the Sport Touring and SI. The Sport Hybrid has the smaller 7" screen and basic speakers. SI is most comparable to Sport Touring. Sport is a lower level of trim.
>>28612796Yeah, but the Si lacks leather and power seats and dual zone and a wireless charging pad and I’m sure some other bullshit I’m unaware of so that’s why I said it sits between the sport and sport touring if you just think about it in terms of luxury options. The si still comes out on top solely because of the manual IMOH though.
The hybrid can only supply 180 hp for ~30 secs from a 100% full capacity battery (it's set to 80% max in sport mode, 60% other settings).After that it's 143hp with ~25% losses sent to an electric motor.SI can sustain it's peak horsepower throughout.
>>28609381junk
>>28609381Too big. NARC.
>>28609381overpriced, and it gets mogged by a GTI.
>>28612807I didn't know all that, good to know, also there is the acoustic glass and hollow wheels which reduce noise in the Touring significantly. I agree with you though the SI is definitely the way to go. It's probably different for people in Europe but in the US fuel is so cheap that it really doesn't make sense to get a hybrid. No one bothers to do the math.
>>28612810Turbocharged engines experience really bad heat soaking
