Type S vs Si

Its your own preference to be honest.

The types will be more sporty with different bumpers and will have a stiffer suspension.

If you don't need rear doors then i would go with the type s.

Im 22, TypeS all the way

I'm 22 also, I have a Sport 5dr... If I could have afforded the S though I would have rocked that instead!

thanks for your input everyone....much appreciated!!! how do you all think the car handles etc? (seeing as i'm talking to real people might as well get your opinions ha lol )

Couldn't have put it better myself.

For practicality, get the five door. If you want a more sporty look, got for a Type S.

The only reason I got a five door over a Type S was because I car share to work with 2 other lads. A 3 door would have been hassle.

Handling wise.....to be honest my 2.2 understeers like a pig. Eibachs and FRS will sort that out though

Really? i have always thought it to be pretty good in terms of understeer... Cheap tyres? Or maybe my previous cars just understeer VERY badly :facepalm:

My derv feels like it understeers very heavy front end, good tyres just needs eibachs and FRS when I get the money!

I rate mine.

Only criticism is lack of low down urgency compared to many other cars on the market now. However, that's made up for by VTEC fun.

Horses for courses.

Haha sorry mate I edited your post to be funny. Wasted humour I know.

Is the Vtec in the 1.8 not set to be economical then cuts out when you floor it? Thats what capticard told me?

Yes, very bad understeer, especailly if there is the smidging of ice.

When I have other things sorted with getting house etc this year... then FRS etc.



Apart from that its a great car, and fast!

5 door all the way! But then I have a toddler and associated gubbings that comes with them!

Either, personal preference & what you need the car for.

type s mate ive had 2 5door civics and to be honest they didnt last long they got chopped in within a year or less,but just depends if you drive alot of people about 3dr is a pain for to get in and out for rear passengers

Yep...see the wiki page.
Vtec in a 1.8 is different to the R, it does not work in the same way.
