Alright guys and gals here's the deal. I"m about 95% sure that a 2013 Civic SI is the vehicle for me in the spring.
TLDR;
Tell me why I SHOULD get a civic SI, also tell me why I shouldn't
Wall of text:
What I have: I have an 01 LX 2 door that was literally a church/grocery car for the first 1/2 of it's life and basically a commuter car for the second half. I think I'm at about 60k miles right now. It's been solid for 15 years, my mom had a honda for 12 years and it posed no major issues. My current vehicle can probably use a suspension refresh (Age), timing belt/water pump, fluid flush and replace, and emissions things are going to go south. I already need to replace the stabalizer endlink (clunk), and the evap solenoid (CEL) before I try and sell it. Also as I get older (in my 30's) I'm having a problem ploping my 6' body into seats that sit almost on the ground.
What I want: A car I can hold on to for 6-7 years that will provide me some entertainment while driving it.. When I drive our sienna and it's more fun than my car it makes me sad. Something that's peppy but not riddled with a history of unnecessarily shitty design (nearly every Generation of golf usually starts with "well if you get [major repair] done and the better part done by 30k you'll be okay"). I'm looking at the 4 door sedan because I have kids and it'd be nice to be able to stick their seats in the back / take them places in a pinch. As well as a car that's easier to get in and out of, when my wife and I go places we typically default to the van because it's comfortable.
I want you guys/gals to tell me why a civic SI is great, and why I should avoid one.
