Was not a support of Hondas for the longest time as everyone in my family had one (all autos) and I hated driving them felt soo bland to me that was until I actually picked one up myself as a temp car (EK hatch 96) while I waited for the twins to be made (4 years ago) little by little that car won me over. I ended up going crazy on mods with it, coilovers, camber kits, brace and better tires that little car handle very very well and the weight was nothing (2200) I swapped motors and man I see why the 90's version of Honda was praised soo much however would I get one now? No

Stock they aren't great cars really especially now given that Honda sells basicly thru rep and not because the product has been improved. I think the 9th gen looks terrible. Stock for stock the FRS is better IMO (just on feel alone) and modded I rather deal with Lots of power to the driving wheels and leaving the front wheels for steering as oppose to having the front wheels deal with both.

For the price I don't think the new Si is worth it at all given the new breed of cars around these days


also Honda has lots of great cars they just never send any over to NA anymore.
