RS69 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 My brother just bought the Mugen that was over at Roush Honda this past week. He drove this over to my parents yesterday for our x-mas gathering. This car does move and is incredible. This is his latest beater to drive during the winter. It looks like this one. http://www.fast-autos.net/vehicles/Honda/2007/Mugen_Civic_Si_Sedan/35358 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 The tests all said the exact same thing. Nothing the kit comes with is as good as you can get aftermarket for fractions of the price. I would have gotten so many other cars for 25k......GTI/R32, B7 A4 I am glad he likes it, just not for me.

Mr. Jones Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Worst price point for a car ever. :thumbdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustlestiltskin Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 no offense, but that shit is fuckin retarded. 1st off its a 4door si. Then on top of that they slap a couple body pieces and other shit on it, call it a mugen edition, and sell em for 30k. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL You should kick ur bro's nuts into his stomach for that stupid ass move. That, and do a lobotomy on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Beg them to take it back. Not because its a bad car or anything but if he paid $30k that just dont seem right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 http://www.luminomagazine.com/2004.03/spotlight/officespace/images/samir/samir3.jpg This purchase, it is horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOS50 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I think $30k is a lot for a Civc but if it's what he wanted then fine.I got an IS300 that was $35k with 215 hp.I didn't want an STI or EVO as I think their ugly and sound like crap.I wasn't looking for the fastest car I could buy.I wanted a nice,reliable sporty car and that's what I got.It's a nice looking Civic and I'm sure it's a nice daily driver.

RS69 Posted December 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 My brother bought it used, but it only had 4,000 miles on it. His other cars are much nicer than this, like I said this is a car he will drive to work. I dont believe he paid anywhere near 30K on it either. I dont know much about the Hondas, but I agree it looks like an Evo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 the mugen control arms are junk. one of the autocrosses this year had a HART car out there and they ripped the ball joint through the control arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic_Influx Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I'm sure it's a fun DD, pricing aside. Good for him. I've driven the SI model a couple times, and as far as I can tell the Mugen edition is very similar in many ways. It's a fun car, but the fun factor (read: torque and power delivery) wasn't there for me personally. That and the price is a bit ridiculous for so few changes to the car.

Mr. Jones Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 So it's slower, and more expensive than a regular Si? Wow. It's designed for a very "special" person. http://www.erichufschmid.net/Dumb-down/super-retard.JPG I can Haz Mugen Si ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fun car, but the fun factor (read: torque and power delivery) wasn't there for me personally. That and the price is a bit ridiculous for so few changes to the car. I agree...but I like the look of this one and it's his bro's choice not ours, so good for him. I wish my Mazda shifted as smoothly as the Civic Si. I drove. The Si was a nice car, but to get any performance out of it, if you call it performance, you had to beat it like a raped ape and sound like the 17yr old down the street doing so. Thus when I downsized to a sport compact I chose to go a larger turbo 4cyl. that offers perhaps one of the best values out there for what she can do.
