2013 Civic Si Vs. 2009 370Z
 

I think MSBC will appreciate this...

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:

actually u leased one so u dont count

/thread

Shhh. I bought the Z. So it's 50/50 mathed I think.

oh ok! :tup: :ugh: :rofl2:

Ex-gf has a '13 Si. What a massive POS that car is. Albeit, if Ray Charles were to ever drive a Civic thats whatd Id equate to her driving process.

Opinions on older Volvo's sicne I see you own one? When my Si end this year, I was looking at 80k mileage 04-06 S60R's. Are they worth it? ll I ever hear is how they're built like tanks. Or maybe a C30 type R or whatever that 2 door hatch thing is called.

the si tops out at 8krpm?

holy crap.

Sorry, I typo'd. It actually redlines at 7,100-7,200rpm. At least according to my gauge cluster for the 2013 model.

u have a LSD lamp? :confused: or u mean the honda's version vcd? vsd was it called?

Whatever that thing that is suppose to make the rear end draw squiggly lines. Not cut power to the engine. Vtec?? I-vtec? Miev? Evo? Espn???

That thread title is misleading. I was gonna come in here and troll the absolute shitt out of the SI. lol...

SI is still crap... lol

Maybe he is trolling everyone who responds?:wtf2:

Mislead into my entertrapollment.

Our '13 S60 fuel pump grenaded two weeks into owning it, they fixed under warranty in 24 hours. Other than that its bullet proof so far, and my wife drives 100+ miles round trip daily for work. I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wanted a C30 type R, couldnt talk my wife into a manual, or another coue though. Fun as hell to drive. Oh, on a side note,years 11-13 are the tanks IMO, '14, they feel...tinny. Even the engine feels less eager.

So basically a civic, but fun and without the teenage revving at stoplights. Perfect!! I'm really thinking a Volvo will be my next beater.
