I've heard people say the adaptive dampeners sucked or did so little they couldn't even tell hat mode they were in. I find it kind of dumb for them to remove the heated seats though. It was already an option, they should have left it.
i had a Bose system in my Q50 redsport and I was NOT impressed with it. Some reason car stereos always either seem Overly bass heavy, tinny or WAY to much Mid. I'm not sure why it's so hard to have it at least close to balance with how many speakers they have. I've been in cars with 6 speakers...
I'm just saying you are still getting what you are paying for and should expect. Youre not getting LESS than the rating which is all you should expect.
Actually, if anything the cars used to make MORE than rated before. It looks like the 2022 numbers are actually inline with ratings. 162wheel(which is what i keep seeing, 161-163) is a little over the 180 its rated at or hondas CVT is just REALLY efficient now. Because 9-10% loss is REALLY low...
Really it would come down to how much those added handling improvements cost vs the features that were removed. With them removing heated seats and removing Adaptable handling for improved CTR based handling I'm curious where the weight came from.
I mean a Mach1 has less options than my current...
Personally, on performance trims I like having fewer base features and having those other things as OPTIONS, but those things should definitely be an OPTION.
I have always seen the Si as the Drivers Civic. the one for people that enjoy driving but aren't really "racers" The type of people that...
I can't read that Civic thread and not laugh. So many people butthurt over 5HP, but ignoring they also improved low end TQ and extended the peak power band. Those will both help you on the track and be more noticeable in daily driving a lot more than 5 peak hp will. If Honda had NOT mentioned...
The 2022 Civic Si is powered by an updated high-output VTEC® 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with usefully broader power curves than before. The engine’s peak torque of 192 lb.-ft. of torque at 1800-5000 rpm (SAE net) now arrives 300 rpm sooner for a quicker punch off the line and out...
My thought was that the cladding makes it easier for them to widen the fenders a bit for wider wheels on the STi version. Cheaper than whole new fenders.
Any 2.0 will likely be in the Type-S, the question is will the type-S get a manual or will they do like most makers and the manual is base only. I expect the 1.5T to be the base engine and shared with the new Si. 200-220HP. 230 if lucky. The majority of buyers will be wanting a nice peppy ride...
Nice, I forgot about that those pics to compare to.
Funny the Integra looks to have a better center Oh Shit Handle for the passenger than the CTR does.
Sure, but those nice cars also have to be profitable enough to produce and keep in production. Or be enough of a gateway that after someone has them they buy more from the brand.
The last Civic Si has buttons on both sides of the shifter so that's a sign at least some of its changed. The 2022 has cupholders in the center too. I don't see those in this so they are at least shifted back behind the shifter.
I'd personally prefer a coupe but the only reason I can see for them to make one at this point is to bring back the sales of people that wanted a Civic/Accord coupe.
it is, I think I was just expecting something that harked a bit more towards a blended Integra/RSX front where it was less of just a blunt grill.
I'm also more of a fan of mirrors on the pillar not on the door. It looks more integrated instead of just Stuck on. It's one of the reasons I REALLY...
