Hi everyone!
I thought i'd enlist all of you knowledgable and what not people to give me your thoughts on the 2002 SiR.
Good, bad, or whatever, please leave your comments about it. I found a really good deal on one, and was wondering if I should go for it. Only things I really like about it is the size (nice and small), gas mileage (great), DOHC 160HP engine (yeh, what I want).
All comments are welcome.

 

Umm... what's the friggin' hold up?

Other than you won't be rocking the D of course.

Get it, get it now, before I come over there and pimp slap you.

Post some pics.

 

I got an '02 Si and I love it. Its fun to drive and plenty of space. Love the shifter placement. Plus its fun smoking my buddy's 3000GT every time. I bought mine for $11k at an auction so there not expensive. Suprisingly good on insurance too. I say go for it but Im a little biased i guess.

 

Well, I told you the pros, now there are some cons............

I'm not really sure if I like the looks of em (in a way I do, and in a way, I don't)
I wasn't sure of the feeling of the shifter (but Si Jonny says it's good)
I didn't think there were very many add-ons for that style of Civic yet
Lastly, everyone will be hot to steal it for the enngine (I'd kinda like to know my car will be where I left it)

 

The looks do take some getting used to but so much room. The shifter does cut down on arm fatigue quite a bit. Pus its a very short distance from the wheel. True that there aren't alot of add-ons but more and more seem to pop up every day. As far as the whole stolen thing I can't tell you much there besides get a cover. I will admit i do get some envious stares occasionaly but no problems yet. But in the end its your decision. Good luck and hope you find something soon.

 

Go for it!!! I'm sure the mods are out there just gotta find them.

 

OK, I seriously have to think this thing out and make up my mind.

The main problem about getting it is the "theft" factor. I see a lot of the SiR's for sale around here that have a salvage title because they've been stolen and the engines have been stripped out of em. I know I can probably make it "theft proof", unless they tow the damn thing, but then I'd always be lookin at a damaged ignition and steering column. With all the stuff I got goin on, I need a very reliable ride, and I wand it to be there when I need it.

The other thing I was thinkin of, was getting either a 2000 Hatchback or a 2002 LX and doin an engine swap.......keepin it a sleeper, so I wouldn't have to worry about the "theft" factor.

I've got some thinking to do............
