I mean of course if you're driving a Z you shouldn't expect much from the Si, you're talking 4 cylinder 197 hp (25-28 mpg on average) vs a V6 332 hp (below 20 mpg). unless the Si is super/turbo charged you have no right to compare these two..

we don't hate civic... any trim...

we just hate those farting-can-lambo-door-civic who can only show themselves off at high school 12 yrs old and race against prius to fatdonald's drive thru.

trust me if someone is doing that to a Civic they would do the same thing to any other car, even if you give them a Ferrari, they'd prob get an aftermarket fartcan and load it up with stickers. Although Civics are known more when it comes to riced out cars, its all about the individual driving the car. Honestly, they are a disgrace.. one of the reasons why I'm willing to trade my Si for a Z.

We've got our share of those guys too. As the car gets older and cheaper it'll just get worse.

we will just dislike the owner and feel sorry for the car, no matter it is a civic or ferrari...

in fact, many of the Z members here own both, so how could we just hate civic..?

in fact, many lambo-door-Z in here got flame too.


good?

Theres this one guy at work, he has a murdered out late model Mazda3. Not Speed3, just Mazda3. Automatic, plenty horsepower stickers, Recaro seats, fart can the size of an Abraham's muzzle, plasti-dip wheels(can you do that to wheels? They look like an abortion), painted red rotors. What are those cheap knock off chinese tires...? Swirly tread ones. Ive looked for boost gauges, afraid Ill go blind if I stare too long though. didnt see any. What a POS and it sounds down right embarrassing. Pulling away in my plush Volvo he gives me an eye. Id smoke him in the Volvo, straights, turns, reverse. Id smoke him in my 10 year old beater accord not to mention the 370...."sigh"....hipsters....

Being an owner of an 2011 Si, I hated it. Over 5k RPMs my grandmother would grab for the door handle trying to time the jump from the car.. Glad that poor thing didnt have a heart attack in there

I wouldn't mind having a Civic for a DD.
