Should I keep my 2012 Honda Civic? Or upgrade to Si?
The 2012 Honda Civic 4 door lx is my very first car. I've had it for two years, going on three. Now, this car is by no means powerful and only sports a measly 1.4L engine. But there's just so much memory in this car. I drove it to see my favorite rapper, Riding through the city with friends. When I look at the car I don't see the civic, but the memories that are in it. Should I upgrade to the Si? Or just keep my car and add after market parts. I will definitely be sad to see this car go, if it comes down to it.
One of the things in life is to remember your "First" if not cherish them while you still can. If I were in your shoes, even I have no idea about your situation. I would keep the car if the only thing you want is a little bit more power in the Si. Sometimes I've wished to have my "first car" back (Sold it when my first child was born: A Datsun 240Z).

I would keep It, but if aftermarket parts means spoilers, popcan exhausts, and slam and camber it. Than buy the si which is also slow.
In cases like this, all the specs in the world aren't going to make a difference because the power of human emotion is way stronger than an improved engine.
What I do recommend is this, go to a dealership and take a test drive. Pay attention to how the car makes you feel. When you take corners, do you feel connected to the car or is there a level of separation? Is the engine eager to deliver power when you ask for it? What about the interior, is it comfortable, do you see yourself having fun in the car? If all those little details make you feel happy enough to the point that you could sacrifice the already made memories in hopes that the new car will give you even more fun memories, then go ahead and get it. If you feel that you aren't really satisfied with the car and that it's not worth trading those memories for the new car then don't get it but at least you'll know you aren't missing out.
if you don't feel that it is worth it then take a look at buying aftermarket parts for it. Hondas have a huge market for this so you shouldn't have any issues squeezing a couple more hp out of the engine.
- What should I upgrade first on my car? I bought my first car a Honda S2000 recently and its completely stock except for an intake. I was wondering what I should do next to it. Rims? Exhaust?
- What should i upgrade too? I got a honda pilot with the big three already done alt, battery,0 gauage i got two L7 kickers 12' on a fosgate t1500.1 i got 4 beyma pro 6g40nd with 4 jl tweeters on a fosgate T1000.4 its loud yes but i want louder and more bass any suggestions? I have the truck space to fit and carry heavier subs.
- I have a 2002 Honda xr100r and I want to upgrade the suspension so I can hit bigger jumps. What should I get? I want more suspension than the dirt bike came with and I want to spend the least amount of money possible.
- I have a 2006 Honda Metropolitan, WHen cold it starts up but i have to keep revving it to keep it going? I have already replaced the battery, air filter, spark plug, did an oil change, got new gas, cleaned out the carb. Once it is warm i have no issues with it. It usually takes about 3 to 4 min of driving it to get it warm but once warm everything is fine with stopping and going.
