I felt so connected with the civic si and the other two were nothing compared to the feel, adrenaline, and the smoothness and ease of shifting.
I'm afraid I'm going to lose that going with a BRZ and living in Massachusetts we get a few blizzards in the winter. I'm trying to trust that I'll be find driving rwd with some blizzaks, a couple bags of kitty litter, shovel, some protein bars in the trunk, and driving cautiously.
I've never driven a rwd car so I've been watching alot of youtube videos of them learning some basics but nothing compares to first hand experience.

Going to miss my '08 Si as well, only a couple more days with her before the FR-S. I don't remember what it's like to drive a stock one anymore, but I can tell you with bolt-ons and a reflash, it's definitely a whole different animal. VTEC starting at 4K is pretty fun. Though I never dyno'd it, I'd estimate it's up to 250hp and 160tq with everything now.
Anyways, I'm really excited to replace it with the FR-S, just because I've craving a RWD car for the longest time.
