Have anyone ever driven one?

I'm seriously thinking about them, trying to find an unmolsted one. I just wonder how fun they are to drive.


and no, I'm not selling the celi biggrin.gif

my husband owns a 99 si... same thing pretty much. damn fun to drive, my celica's been parked all winter so the si has been my main car for the last few months, it's been a lot of fun!! the engine sounds amazing at higher rpm's that's for sure.

the engine sounds amazing towards redline? i dont know what people hear but it's wack. i drove my inlaw's 00 si and gosh...they brag about how fast it is and all this crap...when i drove it, it wasn't fast, i didn't hear anything...vtec suck...it's just like any other car...i drove my other inlaw's ek9 turbo and it was pretty fast....most people say it's fast cause they're light little asians and they dont put weight on the car... laugh.gif

anyways YES it's a good daily driver car! i'd buy it for daily drive but for nothing else....make sure you get one in good condition or else it's gonna rust in a few yrs...i have a buddy who bought his brand new, drove it year round and what 3 yrs later RUST ATTACK!

How is the driving position? Every picture I look at I'm "impressed" by how low the shifter seems to be! In the celica it sits higher, just falls in your hand..It doesnt look comfortable, or is it?

By the way, in canada they are called SIR.



i dont know but i guess it's how the person drives and how long of a reach they have...i must admit the civic does have a nice shifter position...the seats are not comfy...it feels like sitting on a bench...
