yeah, the mazda 3 is a cool car. I don't think it has the same rave though. The new civic will be a car that a lot of young people will go out and buy, and before long that mark up will go down. I was looking at the mazda 3, but I don't really feel to moved it because I want a bigger vehicle.

Originally posted by lscrxit's the new SAE rating system... the motors in the RSX's haven't changed they just changed the way they measure the power and it comes out lower, the motors are identical.
The new ones have limited engine management alternatives, as well as the TypeR cams and intake manifold.

I'd rather have a type-s than the new SI, but that's just me. Actually I'd rather have neither. The only premium-drinking 4cyl that I would want is RWD and is called an S2000.Dan

Problem is though, aftermarket mods NA wise net VERY small gains... you almost have to go FI or extreme NA mods.

Why anyone wants a 2800 lb FWD car to be "sporty" is beyond me."Never run out of real estate, traction & ideas at the same time"

Originally posted by esmacmilMy ex-girlfriend who i still keep in touch with just put a down payment on a new SI...shes been a civic fan forever (notice the "ex" haha)...theres around a 2-3 month wait on a list here, so when they come out in january, she'll probably have to wait until march to get it in the driveway...but i'll be driving it and i'll let everybody know how it feels
its an extremely nice car stock, i know what everybody's saying about it being heavy and less respondent to mods, but it is VERY nice.
she got it in red, and while i didnt really go over 5k, i did take it on a section of twisties fairly quick (she was closing her eyes and clenching the seats) and it stuck with a limited amount of body roll...the weight factor is definitely evident though
anyway - very nice car, she paid just over 21k and only had to wait two months, so i give it the "first drive" reccomendation!!!
ps - 6 speed gear ratios f*ck with my head
