I bought a 2013 Si. Here's why you shouldn't buy one and why our Z's matter in totally practical ways.

Civic Si: electronic steering like trying to control one of those RC boats in the ponds at amusement parks.
370Z: Steering like guiding a mouse through a maze (minus hard rights on half a tank)

Civic Si: LSD kicks on when it's 80F while in 6th gear at 70mph because it ran over a flat piece of road and realized it's a POS
370Z: like butter

Civic Si: takes bumps like a mule on meth
370Z: better than a Moostang

Civic Si: 3k RPM in 5th gear at 70mph and still no VTEC
370Z: WOT in 6th and at least attempts to move out of its own way

Civic Si: Clutch is so light that my left foot has hulk smashed through the wheel well
370Z: Buy the RJI clutch assembly.

Civic Si: power at 6k rpm, and tops our at 8k rpm. Cute range.
370Z: lulz

Civic Si: looks like an upside down bathtub
370Z: Like a french toaster

:rofl2::gtfo2::ugh2:

:ugh2:

I don't know. I enjoyed my '09 while I had it. I mean, the Z trumps it in every category, but isn't it supposed to?

:icon08:Doesn't the Z also have electronic power steering?

Sort of but no, it has electronically assisted hydraulic steering if i recall correctly, that or it's purely hydraulic...one of those two, but not fully electronic like the civics

Civic SI is a perfect daily driver counterpart to a Z fun car. I'd have one in a heartbeat. And if I couldn't afford the Z, a Civic SI or TSX or TL would be my choice of sole car.

You shouldn't compare a civic with our Z, seriously.... It's like comparing your sexy miztress with your grandma (civic)

Only compared in the random aspects of every car on the road. Steering is better on a 2004 neon compared to the 13 Civics. Focus ST's take bumps better than the Civic. Hell, even the Z's bluetooth pairing takes only a few seconds upon startup compared to the Civic taking in excess of 45 seconds to connect. I'm not directly comparing the power/fun ratios of a RWD true sports car compared to a econobox. Just that a brand new econobox with "all the bells and whistles" still gets you less in most cases than a car from a decade ago. I mean, how does a fully loaded Civic Si NOT come with XM radio, but they include a backup camera......

The Z has totally hydraulic steering.

I'm heading to the Honda dealership to trade my Z for a Civic right now!

Liar. You're getting one of those Accord Sport sedans. i think it's a 4.D.S.C or something :roflpuke2:

What's a Honda Civic?

Is that a new lawn mower in the market?

I thought this is a car forum. Lol

Lawnmower? That's a compliment. More like a weedwhacker.
