PERFORMANCE -  Acceleration ok, Braking good, Handling good.

BUILD QUALITY - No major repairs needed, besides a couple defects squeeky clutch pedal, and robbed for JDM spec motor lol.

APPEARANCE - Great appearance love the egg shape, interior is nice too. Race bucket seats, and dash mounted shifter are a good head turning combo.

FUN FACTOR - Not a fast car from factory, but deff a fun drive always prior to mods and after mods.

Pros: The car is rarely seen on the streets.
Cons: Cuz I own one.

Great economical and sporty car. Only 500 built in Canada which makes it a rare car.The looks of the car is one of my favorite things about it, especially the interior. The dash is all black with carbon fiber around the air vents and center controls, the shifter is on the dash. The fronts seats are sporty and covered with a black suede material. Lots of leg and head room for passengers in the back seat and lots of storage space in the hatch with a 70/30 split folding seats. Not a very good winter car. I got stuck a few times in the deeper snow, but if you get a good set of winter tires you'll be fine.

Pros: very reliable and holds itd value
Cons: doesn't preform well in winter.

the acceleration. the braking is very good since i can slow down from like 130 to 50 in a couple seconds. handlings great since i just put new tires on it and got a center alignment on it. all i need to get on it is a new front bumper cause this one is cracked. no squeeks or rattles. the interior is in great condition i have standard si seats thats black/grey seats and red stiching. and exterior it is uneven more weight in front than in back doesnt even out but it has its ups and downs. the car is alot of fun to drive.

Pros: Fun to drive.
Cons: Gets you alot of tickets if you drive like me.

Performance is pretty good, but like all hondas, they need a little more Torque. Needs a Big Brake Kit Stock just sucks, Handling could be better even if his mcpherson struts, needs a stiffer suspension, the appearance of the car differs between everybody it's one of those cars "love it or hate it" otherwise great Hatch of all time

Pros: It's different from others
Cons: Suspension

Best pickup in it's class! This truck is a great overall mid-size truck. If you want a nice looking, good performing, solid truck for work or for yourself, and you don't want to spend over 20K on a new car, then this truck's for you. I have one in silver which I got for 18KI bought this car in 2005 with a hair over 100,000 miles on the clock. The photo shows the car as it was when I first bought. It was a nice looking car in good condition, and the Volvo reliability reputation was a clincher for the sale. Well, things went downhill and fast

Pros: a new car, then this truck's for you. I have one in silver which I got for 18KI bought this
Cons: as it was when I first bought. It was a nice looking car in good condition, and the Volvo reliability reputation was a clincher for

It's not screamingly fast, but it has a lot of pop and a lot of personality. It has a tendency to be a little sloppy in transition but it'll corner on 3 wheels and it's a far better handler than the tires I currently have installed. Why didn't Honda send us the Type R again? Power is pretty good, ~160 BHP, but it could use more factory power. Custom exhaust frees up the engine a little and sounds good and deep at the top end without being annoying. It fits a ton of gear in the hatch. Gas mileage is hovers between 31-32 MPG no matter how I drive.

Pros: Room, sound, performance, gas mileage.
Cons: Not as fast as it could be, transmission not the toughest.

Besides the lack of power, the SI hatchback is a solid car. Handling performance is awesome.

Pros: Excellent handling and drivability
Cons: Lack of power
