Thoughts on the new 11th gen civic si?
I have been in the market for quite awhile and the civic si really caught my attention. I always prefer newer cars because I like all the bells and whistles, but it also has the 1.5L turbocharged engine. I know that small, turbocharged engines aren't very reliable and also previous 1.5L turbocharged Honda engines had oil dilution problems. What do you guys think. Should I go for the 9th gen si that doesn't have the turbocharged engine?
It sucks because most cars these days are coming with direct injection and turbo chargers.
9th gen is my favorite Civic design ever, so I am slightly biased in saying yes. Hahahah.
So when it comes to turbocharged engines then definitely Honda over any other manufacturer. Yes, Honda did have the oil dilution problem, but they have fixed it and with using the correct oil you won't have any problems. You'll be fine with the 11th generation SI. Here's a video from Scotty for a type r and Honda 1.5L turbo engines:
