I’m looking to buy a new sporty feeling car for about $30,000. I have looked a lot into the civic si and it has everything that I am wanting in a car. What do you think of it and do you have any other suggestions?
It's a good car. It does have the 1.5 Turbocharged engine but if you take care of it it's going to last for a while (more info in Scotty's video linked below). And it's manual which makes it an even better choice. There's also the 2022 hatchback which if you get the sport trim has both manual option and 2.0L naturally aspired engine instead of turbocharged. The naturally aspired engine is a better option for known longevity, but the turbocharged one is good too and I personally wouldn't be opposed to owning one.
