Вот как относятся к Сай пендосы так что... "Our first encounter with the previous Si came late in calendar year 2005, when we pitted it against a Volkswagen GTI. The Honda lost. In 2009, we inserted an Si into a seven-car comparo, where it finished fifth, gasping and sweating. We weren’t surprised. The Si’s engine—2.0 liters, 197 horsepower, 139 pound-feet of torque—relegated it to least-powerful status in the whole segment. It certainly didn’t possess the grits to fend off, say, a 263-hp Mazdaspeed 3 Grand Touring or a 265-hp Subaru Impreza WRX. What’s more, accessing the Si’s horses has always required the spinning of the crank and cams to a fine fare-thee-well. The VTEC didn’t swap cam profiles until 6000 rpm, and it was thereafter vital to rely on every single rev right up to the colossal eight-grand cutoff"
И далее "Now comes Honda’s solution for the ninth-gen Si, a solution both simple and a little surprising, given the rumors of a turbo. Out goes the 2.0-liter engine, in comes the naturally aspirated 2.4-liter unit that sees simultaneous duty in the Acura TSX. The result is an unnoticeable 4-hp gain, but torque is up 22 percent—peaking at 4400 rpm instead of 6100 rpm—and that’s a difference you can feel. While they were at it, the engineers paired the engine to the TSX’s delightful six-speed transaxle."

А вот результаты заездов чтобы как бы раскрыть карты "Si nailed 60 mph in 6.3 seconds versus the previous 6.7, and it proved a half-second quicker in our 5-to-60-mph rolling start. Turn off the traction control, and you can now shred rubber for 15 feet, followed by a Rottweiler bark as you bang into second. An improvement, for sure, but it’s still shy of the accelerative thrust of five turbocharged competitors, including the Speed 3, the WRX, and even the GTI, which has a similarly meager 200 horses but can nonetheless summon 60 mph in 6.1 seconds."
Вот расход -- 26 mpg.
А вот про рулевое "At around-town speeds, the Si’s steering tends to feel artificial, as if it were the outcome of some sort of electrical/mechanical calculus that never precisely balanced"
Вот про отделку "бороды" "Yessir, that’s right, I actually am the cheapest bit of flotsam in the universe!” "
А вот что еще говорят глупые пендосы "What they SHOULD have done was to take the 2.3L turbo engine from the RDX and use that instead. If you check the specs for the 2.3L turbo vs the 2.4L TSX engine, you will see that the dimensions are very similar."

А покупают там Si как раз студенты потому что она стоит там на 30% дешевле GTI.

VW GTI, Mazdaspeed 3, VW Beetle Turbo, Mustang v6, Camaro v6, Subaru WRX, etc... там дороже Сая.

И с этим хлопцем, думаю многие у нас согласятся "This car definitely marks the demise of honda; the engine sonuds like a (slighly) tuned economy car, it has virtually no street presence, and its interior makes me sad... the 90s were the golden age of Honda and, while I really miss those times I wonder what happened"
