I think they are a lot better looking than any of the coupes since like 2002. I would definitely consider one for my next car, but that won’t be for a while since mine is only like 6 months old. ---

Too big and too heavy imho. The sedan is actually classified as a full sized car now! The coupe is only marginally smaller. ---

The coupe is only marginally smaller. if you just need to get from a-b I guess it will suffice. like most cars they just keep getting bigger, and heavier as they add new junk to them. honda has been one of the worst so bad so that they had to make a new piece of crap to fill the void created by making the civic the size the accord used to be. ---

Shit man the Fit, Civic Si, and the S2K are the best cars Honda has out right now imho. back in the day I had an '83 Prelude that was just awesome. It was the first Honda to feature 4 wheel independent suspension. I bought her in '94 with 166k and ran her to '02 and abandoned her poor rusted body on Braddock Ave with 225k when I moved lol. I was a honda guy before I switched sides to Nissan in '99 when I bought my first SR20 powered car. Too bad all the new Nissan small cars have been lame since 2000. ☹ I prefer most 1990-2000 japanese cars to 90% of what they are putting out today. ---

the s2k is one of the only new cars I would buy without feeling like I bought something inferior. I wouldn’t rock a fit even if I was paid to, and the civic weighs 2900lbs thats just way too heavy for a FWD. I barely even know what cars nissan makes now I guess they really suck ---

thats funny my type r used to consistently run 14.7 totally stock and I believe it weighed 200 lbs less that stated in your stats. I also went about an eight of an inch past the last marking on the spedo which I would estimate it at 152 though that could be optimistic, but all the stats I seen said 140+ just the other day in my nearly stock 91 se-r I hung with (would have beaten if I launched better) some spikey haired prick in a black farting 06 si. this was all the way until he gave up at the top of third gear. but he had nothing on me at all ---

I’m not the greatest drag racer, and it was hard to do much worse than a 14.8 in the type-r. whatever the source was its a bad one. the kid didn’t open his hood for me, but when I pulled up it had the little red si badge and the correct spoiler. in all fairness he did have a passenger, but I would like to think if it was just an EX I would have smoked him
