Uncle Rico???

My dad's base model 1984 Mercury Topaz 5-speed had an LED light for shifting. That's not new tech :)

So one of them covers the coil packs and the other doesn't.... I can see how it looks "cleaner" with the bigger one, though. Would be easy to paint that piece to give it some color under the hood. Honda Red, maybe?

Yes, they sent a regional manager over and that got the ball rolling. It helped that I had complained of the problem as early as 100 miles on the odometer and documented it.

Mine was so bad it would pop even when the A/C compressor would cycle on/off.... It was more pronounced when the humidity levels were high (which is often in Houston, TX). Techs couldn't fix it, and I'm happy I got a 2014 to replace it.

Honda goofed big time on the 2013 audio systems. If you get lucky and don't have the popping, it's just that: luck. I miss my Taffeta White 2013 Si Navi, but just could not deal with the electronic pops. NOT NORMAL.

Cold air intakes that draw from down low to the ground are engine suicide in any heavy rain storm... I hydro locked my Mustang 4.6L due to just such a CAI. Threw a rod through the side of the block.

Ummm, Australian cars are right-hand drive (they drive on left side of road). http://www.worldstandards.eu/cars/list-of-left-driving-countries/

This is by design! I would much rather break a clutch than a gearbox or differential any day.

The imid is optimistic by 2mpg. I'm getting real world 24-25 city.

I'm at 1800 miles and it feels a lot more alive than on day one. My 2013 Si was more "explosive" when you punched it in first gear.

I never really understand all the fuss over "wheel gap." Do you think people should lower their Ferrari Enzos, because of the "4x4" look?... or is perspective a bit skewed? What about a Corvette ZR-1? ... I like a slightly lowered car as much as the next guy, but you ground-scrapers...

Disagree. That small quarter window is COMMONLY broken out by thieves, because it's easier than dealing with a big window. My mom's car was broken into on that rear quarter window years ago and they stole a .38 out of her car... As you can imagine, she stopped leaving firearms in the car :)

No third brake light.............

It doesn't matter if the oil can last 15k, the filter can't. I wouldn't leave it that long.

It's a manual, not DSG. You *do* have to allow it time between gears.

I don't have anything crunchy going on, no.

Ultragauge for the win here, folks.... no need for a smart anything, just a place to stick it on your dash. Also no delays in numbers/readings: http://www.ultra-gauge.com/ultragauge/

BTW, I like the Bridgestone tires on the GTI a lot better.... nice rim protection and less "busy" looking.... Performance-wise, I dunno.

Anyone else notice that the design is virtually the same? I think the wheel and tire size is also the same. I know, it's not really a revolutionary design, but i thought it odd that both of these cars came on the market at virtually the same time with wheels that are almost the same.... and I...
