Now if you tell me "who cares" about putting 300k miles......... I don' tknow how many ppl can afford to change cars every 5 years or so, especially $30k cars. Unless they lease them........
Every 5 years?? Who the hell drives 60,000 miles per year? It would take me 20 years of my current commute and traveling to get to 300k.

I have a hard time beleiving the Mustang can give you 300k miles without changing the engine.
Better quality is one thing, but bullet proof reliability is something else
Your not gonna get 300k miles from a turbo engine that is performance oriented even if honda built it. Maybe some slow turbo diesel thats built for economy but thats not what your envisioning. Sadly, Honda is.

they can turbo the civic, but still in the end you are still driving a civic.

it's kind of like that neon that came out in the srt-4 i think. at the end of the day you were still driving a neon. i think the major difference between the srt-4 and the civic si will be the driver. i have yet to meet a srt-4 owner who wasn't a complete TOOL BOX!

Why the Civic hate? Those SI's are actually really nice cars IMO.

The funny thing is that he added me to his "ignore list" so I cannot view his attachment

Which is a good thing, since I'm sure it was worthless

no way, honda will never turbo the civic. If they are increasing displacement, its most likely just going to see a modest hp bump to compete with the other 200+ hp cars in its class. Id guess we are gonna get another K series varient. maybe in the 220 hp area so compete with the others.
Yeah, the industry thought honda would never and then the acura rdx... blam face plant.

yeah i don't see why people are hating on the civic. i guess some of you are seeing this turbo'd civic as a threat. if you ask me, i could also careless if it is faster than the s. to begin with, the s2000 is slow!! lol as owners, we should know that and many other stuff about our cars. what brings the car out from others, is the driving experience..

it's like that Cadillac commercial, "when you turn your car on, does it return the favor?" you don't have to ask me twice in my s2k.

How's that for proof?

I won't argue with you anymore on this because I know where it's heading.....

But comparing Fords reliability to Honda or Toyota reliability is useless. Everyone knows Japs are more reliable

And by they way, you have a Munstang with over 300k miles to show? With just one engine...... and not too many reparis done to the car. I got my 1992 Accord to prove it, can you prove your case?


I've seen some whoppers posted on UBBs in my many years, that's definitely up there. Comparing Accords and Mustangs because you clearly lack experience with the latter? You obviously aren't very open minded or even into cars if you don't know how bulletproof the modern 302 and its predecessors are. Not worth my time.


Edit: Why did I even bother posting in a thread about one car "beating" the S2000? *smacks self*
