Which Fist owner wrote the letter praising the Civic SI in Car and driver?

The si even though is ugly as smit still tempts me now that ford is done with small cars.

Oh no they're gouging the crap out of the Type R. One dealer had one priced such that you could buy 2 SI's for what they had it listed at.

It's not as bad in person. My brother-in-law got one a few months ago and I kind of like it. I like the styling of the FiST more but when it's time to replace I will seriously have to consider the SI.

Honda also gets some bonus points for offering the accord in a manual with the 2.0 turbo from the type r (albeit with a different turbo).

Round here you can buy a type R or si at sticker, I tested a si and it will probably be my next car before my warranty runs out, as much as I love my car my faith in it’s long turn durability is not there.

^^^I seriously DOUBT that will be the case for the Type Rs though (as far as no 'gouging' goes).

It is not as bad as it was for the FoRS but still some dealers will mark them up.
