Funny thing about this community is anytime you have a critique it’s like you are saying the whole car is ruined and you should be driving one of these options:
Prius
Mustang
Civic

These are my complains:
Torque dip (fixable)
Doors don’t stay open (fixable)
Sound like crap (not fixable, this is obviously my opinion)
Different rattle every day of the week (fixable daily until you just say to hell with it)

None of those problems would steer me away from the car. This is by far the most entertaining car I’ve ever owned. But I’m not going to be a fanboy and pretend it doesn’t have any flaws. The OP used to own an FRS and asked if it still has a torque dip. The fact is it does. Saying someone should downshift is irrelevant. You can dodge the dip all you want but it’s still there and that is all the OP asked.

If I had the choice between a 2018 Civic Si or a Twin I’d take the Twin hands down. I’d probably take it over the Type-R too.
