Why do you keep shitposting about a sport compact that was near the bottom of its class throughout production? It didn't start a movement of any kind beyond a bowel movement.

Fwd is fantastic and I'm here to help out

Memes aside, is this car any good? Is it worthy of the Si badge?

The only "movement" these shit cans started were bowel movements.

It wasn't special when it came out and it was slower than every car it competed against, except maybe the Mini Cooper. Not implying anything.
Pic related. The REAL giant killer.

>>14981934
I never said FWD wasn't good, only that the Civic wasn't spectacular.

>>14981940
It came with an 8000 RPM 2.0L K20 making 197 HP. Despite the power figure, don't ever think it's all that fast. A supercharged Chevy Cobalt SS, despite making similar power, was much faster due to having a more usable powerband and more torque. It's a decent car and decently quick, but again. It was slower than most, if not all of its rivals.

>>14981960
Wow, it was that fast? I should pick one up

>>14981972

How was the ignition switch on those cobalts?

all fixed thanks to recalls actually being done. How do these tail lights look? It's all you'll ever see.

I get it.

Why is this car being posted?

>>14982085
because some faggot wants approval for buying a slow POS instead of a god-tier Cobalt SS Turbo because he's hung up on a recall that was already fixed.

DESU, I'd rather be dead from an ignition switch failure than live my life blind because my Civic's airbag went off.

>>14982109
No worries, your airbag won't even work.

>>14982109
Is this the hot new form of shitposting, two fucking FWD economy cars?

>>14982136
Exactly. I'd rather be dead than permanently blinded by my airbag or worse, killed because the airbag decided to spew shrapnel in my face

Did those come with the red badging or was that just ricers?

yet. Keyword is yet. Takate and Honda have intentionally been resisting expanding the airbag recall despite calls from the US gubmint to expand it.
