Hey Everyone -
Might as well continue the trend for us "early" adopters waiting for the upcoming 10th Gen. As a former Si owner, I have been watching Honda's press releases very closely.
My experience with turbo cars is a love/hate relationship. Love the power and efficiency; hate the maintenance (though I do most of my own work). I've put on 150K on my current '09 Mazdaspeed3. The Mazda has been a great performer up until very recently. And I'm currently struggling with mysterious and rapid oil consumption. With the turbo now replaced, we've narrowed it down to the PCV valve (unlikely) or ringlands. Common issue in high boost platforms. Combined with the high mileage, it's time to move on.
I will be watching the evolution of the Si and Type R very closely over the next 10-12 months. Unless Honda really screws the pooch with the Si Sedan, I will probably pick that up, knowing the mileage I drive.
Looking forward to coming back.
Current ride: 09 MS3; KW Coilovers, Intake, Tune, and wireless android integration. 270 WHP/255 WTQ.
Previous Ride: 00 Si Coupe
