I had an 04 Civic SI hatch,great little car,but that 2.0 VTEC is a rubberband,like every other Honda.I thought about putting a hair dryer on it,but at my age I prefer a warranty.My new driver is an 05 Mitsu Evo8 RS lightweight(track model) This little nondescript maids car(per the girlfreind)with a flash and exhaust runs high 12's and will wax everthing except a Z06 in the canyons-in the wet can't touch it-
