Why is this in the January Jalopnik Pack?

Kinja'd!!!

I thought the Jalopnik hive-mind disliked the Si.

Of course, it is quite crazy when you max it out.

What's with the hate on the Si? Is it the current gen in particular?

I like my Si....

Sure, it's wrong-wheel-drive and a chunk of the culture surrounding it is horrible. But for a little econobox it's quite a nice car.

I think it's because you can now get "better" cars for the same money or less.

I personally like the styling, and that's not bias speaking.

see, I like the Si. I actually haven't mentioned this, but the only reason I don't have one in my driveway instead of the GLI now is the image these give off. Other than that, I love the thing! and yes, I'm 12, and I specifically like the "BWAAAAAAAHHHH" of the DOHC V-TEC kicking in!

I like the current gen Si 4 door. Particularly in white.

When that K20 kicked in it was an amazing feeling. About as torqueless as they wanna be but the experience is always exhilarating.

What year is yours? I used to have a 1992 hatch Si. Loved it. Handled terrific!

Shoulda been a pack with the '91 Si that Forza Horizon got.

I like the Si. I think most of the grief it catches on here is because of the price/performance ratio compared to other cars in the same price range. My problem is that it doesn't come in a hatchback. After owning a hatchback I'm not sure I could go back for a daily driver.

I like the Si. 200+ hp out of a an NA 4 cyc is always a good thing. The only real problem with the Si is a lot of faster/ better cars have come out at a very competitive price.

For me it's that it's not a hatchback... at all. I mean I know that the Si hasn't always been available in hatchback form, but the fact that there isn't a Civic hatch at all just pisses me off.

I have an '09 FG2 coupe. Not the most amazing car ever, but for something so damn cheap (I got it second-hand) it's a fine enough vehicle.

Yep. Easy to mod, reliable and fun to drive when you want but ordinary when you just want to relax.

Wait... The image of an Si puts you off but you are OK with the GLI...?

yep. Why? because it doesn't have one! I've never seen a modified GLI. not once. all the ones I see are driven by professionally dressed women and men in their 30's.

Si's? They're mostly driven by Rap blasting "BRO" 16-20 yo's here

I wish those were the GLI owners around here... Instead we have a culture that takes the worst of the SI owners and adds BMW asshat smugness.

lol, sounds horrible! The only shit GLI I see is the only other GLI at my school. It's driven by this retard beaner mexifuck (yes, that's racist, but I don't give a shit with what this guy did) who bought a MINT Mk4 GLi, and replaced the nice rims with some shit aftermarket crap, Straight piped it , with the exhaust hanging off, and put about 1/2 a dozen dents in it all around IN JUST 3 months! I am so pissed to see that thing go to waste. I am this close to waiting by his car and telling him to go steal some gas, or mow a lawn, or whatever stupid gangsta Mexican-American 16 YO's do in their spare time.

TL;DR: I fucking hate this idiot at my school.
