Why isn't the 7th gen Si hatch more popular?

[pon55]

One reason $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

its slow, its ugly, and theres far faster cars for the price.

For the same price as the si i could buy a srt4. it would take atleast $4-5k in mods to get the new si upto the same numbers

Come on a srt? It's a Dodge. It's just domestic rice!

it's domestic rice that can almost hang with the s2k for $10k less

230hp and 250lb's of pure domestic rice for around the same cost as a new civic ex riceburner

the stock Si's should have the RSX type R engine... K20A i think

 

[civicly00]

no offense to people who have the new si but It looks ugly stock

check out super street magazine's project civic rr. skunk2 is developing it for them and have already bumped the engine up to 210 hp at the wheels! last i checked they dropped a k24 block in it w/ the k20 head and are making some sweet ass torque numbers out of it. imo i think their civic rr is the best looking ep3 i have seen to date. it's white and super clean with a nice stance to it from the suspension setup they used. just my .02

Skunk2's flat black paint job is AMAZING.

i like the new si i just think they could have done a little better because it weighs soo much. i want to see how it would react to a turbo or somethin of that sort. I think a good Ecu could straighten this car right.

i didnt bother to read all the other replies..but to me..i think the new SI's are a big disapointment..i mean i like the way it lookz but the base model engine of the rsx ? c'monnnnnnn at least something likeeeeee i dont knooo 180hp instead of 160? but thats juz me tho

Yeah I think we all were really hopeing for more. We just set our selfs up for disipointment.

Not sure why new si's aren't popular.
Handles great, Rally style shift is excellent.
Overall, Excellent car to drive.

absolutly i also have one and it is a very fun car to drive, i actually enjoy driving again.

civicvtec, who made that lip it looks real good, where could i get one. needs side skirts though elspecially with such a low front.

I definitly think my Boss's Mustang would house all of you! No replacement for displacement. or 600+ hp

[buck1115]

[He11_SPaWn]

yah left it up at work, logged on so he took the liberty to post for me. if only i had the money to make my civic faster then his mustang.

 

[shortie23va]

yea i agree, i test drove one before i got the elantra gt it rides ok but i think it looks ugly unless you put rims on it, and of course lower it.
