Congratz ! it's like day & night between 2 cars

Thanks .. buy it. The car looks great, gets attention. I feel like I'm driving a cheap slow ferrari

Best decision of your life.

Love that it doesn't break the bank at the pump.

I drove my gf's civic after this and the civic felt sooooo loose. I love my frs. Good choice on the color as well!

I'm actually getting better gas mileage in my frs.. favorite color is red so I fell in love instantly

They felt cheap to me initially, now they feel intuitive. I have all the right settings in mind: halfway between all feet and feet/head split, speed on 2, heat all the way counterclockwise except in the coldest days. Instead of tapping a G-Damn touchscreen, the knobs give you clear feedback and a solid feel.

It is all manual and I like it that way.

I forget about the things I dont like when I drive it. I like that almost everything in the frs is simple to do such as replacing the head unit , oil changes, take the cluster out. The spark plugs look very difficult to reach tho

The only thing I miss about my Civic Si is the motor. The k20z3 is leaps and bounds better than the motor in the FRS. I also liked the interior in the Civic better... But everything else is a lot nicer in the FRS. Either way, the FRS is RWD and that is the most important thing.

I like the k20 too... my si had only 20k and I had already replaced spark plugs , tranny fluid ..so easy to work on

They do look SO wonderful in red.

Red is sexy

Another Honda convert! I came from an 07 Si and yes I also miss that sunroof along with that loud vtec engine when flashpro'd. Driving wise FR-S>Si

So was it the Del Sol that killed him the first time?

That car had the engine that the Si should have had all along. That was the last of the fantastic generation, the following gen(7th) was the start of the decline but was still a great car(not the Si though).

Seriously though, he died before the Del Sol came out but he was around for the development of the generation it existed in, which again was arguably the best(6th gen).
