what does driving the manual feel like compared to the si?

The new Si doesn't even have the VTEC kick anymore. The new Si is pathetic with it's steering light enough for a person having a stroke, to it's soft clutch pedal that pushes itself in from just a slight breeze or an insect landing on it. Or the ridiculous rev-hang that keeps your rpm's up even after you've shifted! What the hell was Honda thinking?!?
The driving pleasure of the previous generations is long gone. Now it's a DX with more HP and accessories. This coming from a 20 year Civic veteran.
