What's a good first manual car? I was thinking a 9th

>>15158786
what the fuck. a 9th gen si as a first car?
no you get a 1990 civic for a first manual car

>>15158793
It would be the first car I could actually buy relatively new. I've been saving up.

I'm not a poorfag busrider like most of /o/

>>15158806
you might grind from not being used to a short throw shifter also stiff clutch pedal

>stiff clutch
Naw man the clutch is pretty soft. Really soft actually.
Grinding is inevitable for new manual drivers.

For a first manual car I would recommend something cheap. I learned on a $1500 Miata. I own a 9th gen Si now though, and I don't see why it wouldn't make a good first. It would just suck to mess up and ruin a new car.

>>15158836
>Grinding is inevitable
Wut
Stalling, yea, but grinding gears? I never grinded a gear, not even once.

>>15158855

>>15158950
i drive pic related its my first manual car and i have grinded it probably atleast 10 times since i owned it.
>test drove it with not alot of manual experience
>salesman was teaching me along the way. didnt stall or grind once on test drive.
>drove car for 6 months before stalling once and grinding once

>>15158950
Well aren't you cool.

>>15158929
Man you're retarded, this board needs to stop shitting on civics so much

>>15158978
because i think a 25 year old shitbox is a better first car until he transitions? why not learn the difference between electronic hydralic clutch versus dinosaur cable clutch? a 9th gen si isnt a practical first car in my opinion

>>15158963

>>15159000

>>15159010
it says I-VTEC
SOHC

>>15159029
why not? it has I-VTEC and is a single cam.

>people butt pained at my stickers people think it says DOHC like the si's

lel

>>15158786
as long as you are not considering cars with some sort of aftermarket racing clutch it makes absolutely zero difference

>>15159034
You obviously put the sticker on to look like an Si though.

>>15159047
no i didnt.

>>15159068
Okay but you have to realize everyone who looks at you is thinking "Oh look there's an Si. Oh wait.. Wtf that's not an Si! HAHAHA"
Sorry but it's the truth.

>>15159080
people have got to be retarded as fuck to not be able to tell the difference between a base 9th gen versus a a 9th gen si that has a complete different body kit. grill. 18 inch alloy wheels 6speed knob. leather seats. si seats. 6 inch in dash monitor.
i dont care what people think about me or my car

>>15159003
>LX
Pathetic

>>15159091
You obviously wanted a faster car, for the price of a 9th gen LX you couldve gotten a low miles 08 TL-S 6mt and had a car that could shit on any gen Si by a bus length-with leather nav and backup camera. You kinda fucked up

>>15158819
Actually all civics are forgiving to first time drivers. They have one of the easiest clutches I've ever opperated

>>15158963
Look out /o/, boi is rollin on some sick 15" hubcaps!

>>15158786
Get whatever you want just make sure to watch some youtube tutorials so you can keep the damage at a minimum

Damn man, at least he ain't gonna buy a Ferrari as his first car like the chinks in Vancouver. Its just a Honda.

I-I have an EX Coupe with Si side skirts (bought it like that), like pic related. There's no stickers and the EX badge is on the back. D-do you think people laugh at me?

>>15160750
Yes, anyone who drives a modified Civic that isn't an Si is laughed at.

>>15160750
No, this is acceptable. At first glance all people see is the sticker.

>>15160810

Why they make a kraftworks makes supercharger for the 1.8 now thatd $moke a stock si

>>15158786
2002-2005 civic si

>>15161628
Because Cte makes a supercharger for the Si's 2.4l. 330whp running 10lbs of boost.
