New daily driver, version es-eye...

Hey dudes…so after moving along the truck this past week (and getting a new Tacoma for my property duties…more on that later…), it was time for a nice DD again…enter my new to me '08 Civic Si. This was my mom’s car which we bought nearly new in '10. She wanted a new vehicle, and will be daily driving the new Tacoma, unless I need it…

Anyways, I absolutely love the Si, always have, especially this one. The 8th gen. Civic was a real home run in my eyes, and the Si was one of the best to date. It is tons of fun, reliable, comfortable, and all those other great things you hope to find in a DD…

After a little bit of a wash/detail, here it is:

solid daily! :tup:

I’ve considered trading the element for one as a daily but man, that would be kind of overkill lol.

Great daily.
LSD was standard in these too

I remember when your mom moved from the spec… Was a great replacment my mom went in a different direction from her spec to a vw Jetta Tdi…
But I blame that on her son being a euro car nut.

hoe many miles are on it? Looks super clean. How does it compare to your type-r that you had?

Thanks guys…it is very clean, my mom is as fanatical as I am with her cars…

It is not really like the Type R was…I mean the engine feels similar, but the Type R just felt so…light…in every way possible. It really was a fast car, or at least a fast feeling car…this car feels much heavier and much more grown up…which is great, bec. it is really comfortable pretty much all the time, with the option of being pretty damn quick if you feel so inclined…I am glad to have owned both, that is for sure…both tremendous cars in their own right…

Speaking of light weight, is that a factory subwoofer mounted in the middle of the rear deck?

Yea Josh, it has quite a nice factory audio system…

Here’s my fav. shot so far…

Manual tranny. Love it.

Yea man, they only come in manual. Also, fixed my photos…

always had a soft spot for these, especially the sedan version.

Very nice, the 8th gen Si is my favorite.

Me too…
