As I said in a previous post from a couple days ago, the good lord blessed me with some extra fundage and was planning to buy a 2nd car and keep the fr-s. I was looking at a 2013 Maxima and a 2014 Civic Ex. So I decided I was going with the Civic. While at the dealer, a 2014 SI coupe in black was really dirty in the lot and I asked my salesman what's the deal with the SI. Turns out it was a Demo Car that was about to head to a whole sale buyer. Only 6K on dot I asked to see if I could drive it and I fell in love guys. This thing rev's beautifully and my god is the interior fucking refined. Now I will say this thing does not handle as sharp as the FR-S but it's damn close. It was end of the month, they were getting ready to take a loss on it, and it was memorial day week so they were desperate for a sale. Ended up getting the car 20.5 and out the door and couldn't refuse. I'm saying good bye to the FRS as I have a buyer coming down tomorrow to pick her up.

I had some good laughs on this site and received more than enough help, this is a damn good community.

If you guys have any questions about any differences from the SI to FRS from a non-bias driver, let me know. I was in love with the FR-S but unfortunately I purchased an Out of Warranty Lemon that I was afraid in the near future would be a money pit.

Peace ya'll and remember... DRIVE IT LIKE YA FKN STOLE IT!!!

Nice man, I test drove a 2014 SI and it was an awesome car! It's a car that loves to Rev and is nimble for street driving. Plus depending which one your getting, it comes 4 door which is a big plus! It's also very well equipped, so overall an awesome car.

Edit: Also, 20k for a FWD car that doesn't have the driving dynamics the twins have... Good luck with your hopped up econobox.

yea you were driving an auto thats why


(JOKES. JOKES. I love the AT in the 86. such a beast to drive. I just am addicted to rowing thru the gears)

Depends on what I want to accomplish with the vehicle. My other car is a rex, my only other "performance" oriented vehicle owned so far, so the AWD to RWD conversion has been markedly different. I swear to never go FWD again

What exactly about the FA20 do you find boring and unrefined?

Is it the direct injection?
Port injection?
Flat layout?
Is it the exhaust note?

There is nothing exciting about it at all. I don't drive around thinking 'i love this car! The port injection is so exciting!' ..... No. The car itself is fun to maneuver, but the engine doesn't speak to us the way that exciting engines should. It's just boring and slow.

Never assume. I'm a N/A enthusiast, I just like the engine to be fun. Otherwise, why even buy it? This is why we are seeing this car sold off in record numbers, it's not keeping anyone's attention. It's... 'Meh'
