Civic SI, Ep3. Dis Gon B Good.
Edit: I don't get what all the negativity on the comments and likes is about. People don't seem to really like the voices, but RcR probably wouldn't be where they are today without the voices. Plus if I recall correctly, the business voice was pretty highly requested to make a comeback.

It wasn't my favorite also. But I did finish it.
I'm just happy to see Mr. Regular changing the pace a little bit, and throwing in something that he hasn't posted much of since the earlier days of RcR.

The voices are often funny but they only work if used with moderation. And in my opinion that whole character in this video was pretty annoying.

Jeez, and you people complain about MAZDAS RUSTING.
This car is a pile for only being 10 years old.

I noticed that also, cracked paint down by the VTEC YO sticker. And a bit of rust on the rocker panels. I think that video was in Indiana, and I have no idea how much it snows and shit. But that is pretty rust for an 11 year old car.

He doesn't do the voices and people complain that his reviews are too boring. He does the voices and people complain that his reviews are too weired.
Listen up people, if you haven't figured it out by now, RCR is an acquired taste. It uses very unconventional and offbeat humor to discuss the reasons why we drive the cars we drive. If all you want an actual review of the 7th gen Civic Si, then go to any one of over 9,000 places on the Internet that has one. If that's all you want then don't bother watching these videos. Don't even bother commenting that you don't like RCR because we don't care. You're just wasting bandwidth.
And the next person who complains about the voices IS GETTING THE BUSINESS!

There ya go!
I feel that a lot of people are starting to take RcR as a John H. Davis type show. But that's just not what RcR seems to be. I don't understand how people ask for the voices, and then complain about the voices.
It is an acquired taste though, and there are no other reviews of the Civic SI that are actually funny and entertaining to watch besides this one. It's some unique stuff, but I have the feeling that people are taking it for what it isn't.

At 3 minutes I started thinking if I should even finish the video. I don't think the intention was to make it that annoying.

I don't think RCR has ever done an actual review of a car. The people who drive them? Yes, but even when he's getting "technical" - like when he tried to explain snap oversteer - it's only used to explain why someone would want a car despite its quirks. It's been something like three years and people still don't seem to get this.

Rode hard, put away wet, never washed after a snow/salt bath, and never had the engine bay detailed. Or even wiped down. Ugh. I'd be embarrassed if that was MY car on RCR.

I got rid of my 1997 civic HB for a new 2003 mazda protege5, because of rust. Rust came out even under the dealer rust proofing in less than a year with that mazda.
Funny thing is i'm sure that 97 civic is still running around, but I know that 2003 mazda aint.

Holy crap, these only made 160hp? I guess SI's have always been underpowered.

That was the biggest complaint about these IIRC. You only got 160hp out of these while the Acura RSX type S got 201.

And the new SI still only makes 205hp.
