Possible new :bread: if they don't try to get me in a 2019. I'm going to have to buy a car asap.

The standard calculation they use so factor your usage/depreciation is (Purchase Price x Mileage)/120,000. $40k purchase price on a car car driven 15k miles means they'll offer you $35k for the car.

This is a :notbad: idea if VW doesn't want to put me in a new R. Lease a new 2020 Si. With 0 down that pushes it to close to 300 a month which isn't bad at all.

You driven one? They're pretty great... I came so close, kind of wish I'd gone that route over the BMW.

I still don’t understand why Honda doesn’t make the si hatch. I can’t stand the sedan or the coupe the hype R is too much this would be a great alternative

Can't have sport and Si hatches I guess. I'd definitely prefer a hatch too as the sedan is just :gag: but I'd still drive it for cheap.

I like the Si. It’s just about the max amount of power for FWD before it all starts to go to crap.

I really don’t understand why they didn’t give the Si an option for the DCT from Acura this time around. I’d just go get one of them if it had it.

Wasn't that only around for a year or two though?

What about a used ILX A-spec?

The dct? Still in the Acura products. I don't really like the ILX. Its just a worse 9th gen Si, a car I didn't really care for anyway.

Am I the only one who doesn't mind the Si sedan? :iono: I was just totally :disappoint: the Si got only the 1.5. GTI and GoRf basically have the same motor with a different turbo, but the Si and Type R motors are completely different beasts.

If you want a MK7 GTI for not much money I know where you can find one for not much money. :hubba:

Nope the sedan looks better than the hatch, and is more practical with the seats up.

:wrong:

The sedan just looks so out of proportion. It's too long.
