    Picked up a 2012 in sunburst orange a couple weeks ago. I love it because when you drive it normally, its like a base Civic, quiet and reserved. But the second you stomp on it, it comes roaring to life. So much fun.

      Me too, the orange machine. That’s what I’ve been calling him or her. I haven’t quite decided yet. I’m still feeling out the personality. But undeniably the most fun car I’ve ever had.

      Right?? It's like exactly what the civic should be imo.they should only be built with this quality after owning an SI I wouldn't go for a regular civic only because the transmission and everything feels high quality on these SIs.

    only thing i hate about my 2015 si is lack of TEMP GAUGE. the light indicator is a horrible tool. as a tech i was able to install an aftermarket glowshift temp gauge. i see people start banging on this engine soon as the blue light goes away. bad idea. blue light turns off ard 120 F, engine is fully warmed up at 195 F.
