Yea, you're right. I'm sure an SiR Civic is definitely not a car enthusiast-worthy vehicle.

No money? Get a 90's Civic instead. You'll thank me.

Hey remember when Honda still made hatchbacks for the North American market? Those were good days.

Here's a better picture. It's the last generation (6th gen) of Civics to feature their awesome double wishbone suspension.

And cast lower control arms: no more. I could write a whole list just for Honda based on this topic.

What you described sounds a lot like another big manufacturer out there going through the same phase. Honda, it appears, is getting back into the enthusiast game by making the CTR the fastest FWD car around the 'Ring. I'm sure enthusiasts are thrilled about that. But let's see how they deliver and whether any of that…

This bothers you that much, eh? I'd take the sedan over the coupe anyways so maybe that's why I'm not too worried because if I were to ever get one, I'd still end up with an M3. :)

Adding a manual transmission would definitely not be an improvement in terms of performance. It sure would make it a much more enjoyable drive though.

Beige bites back!

Yea, but imagine if you could get an SLS with a manual gearbox. That would be awesome!

Reading all these posts I've come to one conclusion: I'm glad I'm not a woman.

1:03 shows the big sign for the plant and a banner on it reads "World Class Manufacturing" in the midst of all the footage of the guys drinking and smoking weed. Hilarious.

I think he was strictly speaking about hybrids. And what you claimed is actually the norm. Most TDI owners get well above the claimed EPA figures.

Akira...that name rings a bell...I can't quite put my finger on it.

Neutral: You know what Honda needs to add to its lineup? A Civic hatchback and/or a wagon. There's a reason the Fit sells so well. Practicality and fuel economy. Imagine that with more room in the cabin and more standard features.

One-77. I don't see what everyone else sees in the DB5. I must be too young.

So long. Enjoy your AWD understeering Audi.

I absolutely love these stories. I wonder what goes through their minds though. Do they take their chances on hoping that the car they decide to carjack is auto or do they not know of a manual transmission's existence? Regardless, if you don't like manuals, YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.

Well at least I know you're familiar with modern technology and you gave it a chance. Can't argue with you that you didn't even try. I became a licensed mechanic at 19 years old and am a fan of where technology is going. I agree that electronics are becoming a little overwhelming in cars nowadays but it also becomes…

Dude, how old are you? You sound like you haven't even given modern automotive technology a chance. Be a little more open-minded.
