I had a 2011 Mustang GT and I have a MK7 GTI now. The RWD Mustang was easier to modulate the throttle to get going quicker. I drove it in a few midwest winters and it wasn't horrendous in the slick ****. RWD is more predictable too sans the nannies, FWD just seems like it has a mind of its own sometimes, even in a well sorted out FWD car like the GTI.

Teaches you throttle control better than any car ever will doesn't it? One of the least forgiving performance vehicles that exists.

I miss my wife's 2002 WRX - snow drifting was the most fun ever. I would do the same in my 330i but it was a lot more stressful so not quite as fun. I don't know how much a factor was the diff in the WRX. |

From what I’ve heard, Hondata’s traction control tames the wheel spin for the TypeR.

The mazdaspeed 3's had gear based boost control from the factory to mitigate the high power FWD problem,boost was limited to 8psi in 1st gear, and I think maybe like 12 in 2nd or so, you didn't get full boost until 3rd gear. |

It'll be interesting to see what happens with the Type R once the Honda plant in the UK closes. With it sharing the same platform as the hatch, will they both move to one of the Ohio facilities?

Hopefully when the hatch moves to Ohio, it will spawn a hatch Si.

A Si hatch or a narrow body 2.0T civic with the normal front suspension and interior would both be very nice additions to the lineup.

I would do a non-flare-on-flare-over-flare 2.0T hatch even with a cheapo basic band-aid AWD setup.

I'd probably do it with FWD and make do with snow tires, and I really need AWD given all the snow and hills.
The current Si is almost dirt cheap for what you get at $25,000. Now that the Type R is trending towards $40,000 there's tons of space for a Si with a better than 1.5 engine. |

They are definitely modding the 1.5 to a high state of tune. However, I'm mod averse on my daily driver and stock for stock the 2.0T (even in lower Accord output) would be a much nicer engine for a daily driven Si.
There's a local dealer that does Hondata tunes with warranty. If I were to mod it would be something like that, and I'd hope the 2.0T would get a better clutch than the 1.5 version Si. Really though any sort of Si type hatch would be awesome. I need four doors and a Civic sedan is just too big. A 10th gen dwarfs my current 8th gen. |

Yeah the Accord spec engine would be perfect. Civic SiR please.

For sure. And people are still paying mark up on type r in a lot of places. They could add 15 horsepower, offer it in yellow, and then set msrp to $43,000.
Then, an SiR with a 260’ish horsepower 2.0t engine at around $30,000 would slot in nicely. Not everyone needs a 40mpg Si at $25,000 and not everyone wants such an extreme car as the type r. They’re really leaving out a large chunk of people who want performance AND seat heater along with normal tires and rims. |

I wouldn't turn down a Fit with that 1.5T too. Either one would be fun and rompable. I still don't mind FWD. |
