"Now I will say this thing does not handle as sharp as the FR-S but it's damn close."

I actually Lol'd.. From the newer civics ive seen out at the autocross they understeer like pigs.. Now I dont hate hondas. I had a RHD converted 97 prelude for awhile and it was fun but it understeered like a pig.. I plan on getting an EG hatchback one of these days and hopefully I can finally dial out that understeer

Totally true, but from a manufacturer standpoint in Honda's defense that's very hard to tune out of the chassis cheaply for a fwd car

The best thing to do is keep our heads up and continue spreading the truth, and just hope that someone learns something.

Thank you to those of you who actually read what we had to say, instead of starting arguments. Fanboys can be so childish

Good day!


Gag dude. Have you realized that you're regarded yet?

You're too busy over there sniffing your own farts to realize when someone is being facetious.

It's obvious you've picked up zero knowledge on the Twins during your time on this site, but a reliable sarcasm-meter is typically the first tool people acquire once they become active in this community. Being a pretentious ****bag and "spreading the truth" like you're some Prophet of Honda is definitely not gonna get you far though.

Personally I had an 8th gen SI and it was a hell of a lot of fun, loved driving that car. Understeer? Yup, but I wasn't tracking it so I didn't care, but I knew what it was I was driving (IE not a fast car). Now that I have my FRS, I love it more. Obviously. The exterior is the best part: unique. And I'm actually tracking this car, feels more appropriate to me.

Does it scream at an 8K redline like the K20 engine? Nope. Do I scream at a 7K redline drifitng around a corner with RWD? Only in absolute stupid childish glee when I think no one is watching.

Never saw the OP's original thread, maybe I'll go read it for some laughs. Personally I probably wouldn't go to the new gen SIs, and not over the FRS, but hey, we probably like to drive differently
