Hi All:


I like to know how does everybody feel driving the turbo AWD X around



I had fun with the SI, high revs, handling BUT it was upsetting that they couldn't got any K-pro or HONDATA or something and bolt-ons only gave 5-10whp . 139lb/tq didn't helped either i beleive the car is fster 1 sec than a civic dx manual 0-60 lol

Guys on civic 8th are going crazy spending some good amount of money 7-8K

X has power (puts you back in the seat), i love the brakes and trbo spool

I wish it had the 6th gear for highway but not something i can't live without.

Other thing i didn't particularly liked was that they made the X bigger spacious than previous evos so its not a pocket rocket and its huge compared to the si.

The thing i love most is there is tons of after market support, bolt-ons

Anyway just wanted to hear from other si owners what they think of X

 

I like it so far, though I'm still 100 miles or so from being broken in. I've taken, without even thinking, turns the Si couldn't even dream of sticking. I'm in the middle of a turn, look at the speedo, and think "holy s****, the Si would be in the grass by now"! To the X it's like it's just another day.

I don't miss the anemic acceleration when under 5.5k RPM and the struggle on the track to keep it above that RPM range at all costs. It's a very challenging car to drive quickly. I don't miss the poor DBW setup that caused RPMs to just hang there after every shift, probably causing premature clutch wear. And I don't miss the huge A pillar that made the entire front corner of the car invisible to the driver. I do miss 6th gear, the digital speedo right up by the windshield, the nicer interior, steering wheel audio controls, and the shifter feel.

Someone in another thread commented they were surprised anyone liked a Civic, but I think it's a pretty natural progression. The Si is a great car at $20k, just as the X is a great car at $30k. Sure, the Si can't compete with the X, but it's not meant to. The Evo/STI are probably common choices of former Si owners who have seen income increases. I know I've seen at least 3 others on here.

 

'07 Si is what I learned stick on!

 

i did too

 

Nice said i miss the tachometer too!

 

i had two, an 07 black sedan and then a 07 hfp coupe. they were awesome cars, but fwd and 197 stock wasn't fun. bolt ons did little... X here i come

 

some pics of the sedan btw





i miss them but honda needs to get in the game, awd and turbo should be in the next Si

 

^ sh-awd turbo TSX may be!

Nice fa5 btw


May be this>>

 

I currentley have a 2006 civic si And I agree with everyones feeling on the si. It is a good car and even better than the x in some respects. however as a whole the evo is just at a bigger better faster beast.

This holds true if you like driving cars it's the only real option other than the wrx for sombady graduating from a si.

I plan on getting a x soon maybe form shahulx when we can talk

 

X2 my buddy has an X. He went from an 06 Type-S and the handling on the X scares the **** out of me. He was doing 80mph and still going down a bend. He was getting on the 94 to chicago from 290 near streets of woodfield! I was flipping out cuz I was scared to see the car slide but as it went over 80 it was still on the ground with no slidding or cracking of the tires. In his Type-S I think we maxed out at 65-70.

 

my past car

 

if you traded in your si how much did they give you towars your evox

 

I went to the dealer and they were only going to give me 12k for my 06 SI fully loaded HFP 18" wheels, XM and HFP ground effects 52k miles. Only lacking NAVI. I'm waiting another month or two and selling it private so I can get my X.

 

not a SI but i owed 3 rsx's and a tsx

 

Thats too low IMO i will keep the si and enjoy another year and than sell privately!

I miss that car in some aspects
