Comparison: Volkswagen GTI vs. Honda Civic Si

what? the new gti’s look fucking silly! However they sound (exhaust) and perform impressively.

it looks like an EG hatch.

i like it. i think the Si looks like the deuce

the gti would suit you better for owning a house, there is a lot of room in the hatch.

Hatch > trunk

hatches rule.

i had a golf and a civic… SOOOO much room.

  • Civic = ultra-reliability, high resale, endless aftermarket, easy affordable maintenance, etc…

  • VW = not a honda.

yea i was at ray laks, they said they price on the si coupe doesn’t budge. they have sedans with a rebate, but i don’t know about a four door yet.

i’ve driven plenty of vehicles though, i’ve boiled it down to these two.

Ray Laks will budge on price, you need to talk to the right people. See Mark Maloney and tell him Tom Marks recommended that you speak with him about a new SI.

The coupe is basically the same exact performance as the coupe, and only weighs in a few dozen pounds more, but with two more doors and way more room. (Both rear seats fold down as well)

Also, I have HID’s in my SI, and they look great :slight_smile:

Both are great choices. Both cars look hot in white :wink: If you were leaning toward a sedan, then my choice is the honda for sure. Coupe… its a toss up for me too. Both are great cars. I think the honda will win in the end though…

My choice =Honda by a nose.

Ugh please don’t get a white sedan. LOL

Does the GTI have LSD?

If not, Honda.

If it does, Honda anyway, because you sell cars too often.

yeah seriously, do they have like a 3 month lease? might be perfect for you

i have been in both, and i prefer the gti. hatch backs are nice, and plenty of power. plus you can also get them in a 4 door if you want, and it will ahve a better resale value.

This shit will never end.
