Yeah. However, if you leave it stock it shouldn't really have a problem for the first owner.

I'm really really :notsure: about that RS rear diff. It's soooo small. And reports of overheating already :disgust:
I think the RS is too far on the edge. People will mod them and explode them in short order.

But yea, you'd never have an issue with an STI during your ownershit. As long as you off it by 70k miles, you're fine.

Actually. If trade agreements are shattered and imports are taxed out the fucking ass.... the time is now to buy an import car. Low depreciation will be even lower due to new models costing way more in tax.

Good point.

I just don't see trade agreements being :nuke: anytime soon. Maybe in the next few years, if ever. Trump will not fulfill this promise, IMO. He's a biznezz man, and he knows the truth deep down.

I remain very curious about the base 2.0 motor. The last civic base motor was "kill me now" kinds of awful. This one sounds like a 2.0 version of the one in your car. 158 HP. Lightweight car. It won't handle overly well and the brakes are probably totally shit, but might be fun in the old Honda "shitty car that you drive the balls off" sort of way. Like the 1st gen Fit was with :manuel:

The news has been really sad lately. Lots of shit happening in HIGH SCHOOLS across the country, with people chanting build a wall in lunch rooms, etc. People with headdresses getting their clothing pulled and choked. Swastikas being spray painted in high schools and public places across SE PA. People harassing anyone non-white about "better leave the country now!"

I get the argument FOR Trump, really. People upset that their manufacturing jobs and plants are closing, their communities degrading because there's no work and no influx of money. But this is the kind of shit I was worried about, the 5% of Trump supporters that are raging assholes lashing out at innocent people.

Dude for normal peasant driving the car will be in fwd mode. The rear diff will be fine and almost never be used.

The only way to overheat it, is to put it into drift mode to try and pretend that an awd car with at most 60% rear torque split can drift, whoever the retard was that designed that should lose his job

It's a 45 minute drive on a good day to get to :dillerman:
Spend a few there. Explain that I have my own financing. Let finance guy freak out. An hour or two later they find financing and I sign papers and 15 minutes of declining extra warranties.
Then 45 minute drive home without new car because they have to go pick it up.

Easy 4 hours, maybe more.

That's the other reason I'd STI. Power always going to the :datass:
It really did drive incredibly well too. And the engine was buttery smooth. So nice.

Right and the brz goes 0-60 in under 6. Clutch shattering launches don't count. That shit is slow as balls. It is all about the 1.5T
The 1.8 that is in the azns mk1 civic is a shit engine, it has no power anywhere. This is just the same pos with a bit of extra displacement. Literally my tdi destroys that's car from a launch or just in daily driving. And that's pathetic because it is a turd

My brother's WRX took about a week and as the week progressed they slowly did the paperwork through email/fax and then my brother picked up the car and signed 1-2 more forms and called it a day

Just do it all through phone or email - especially since you have your own financing anyway
