Friar Zucchini posted:So how does hill-start assist work then? I've never driven a car with it, does it just mess with the throttle mapping and give you more power? I figured it'd be something mechanical like basically a one-way parking pawl like in an automatic, or the computer would apply the brakes until there was enough power to move forward without affecting the throttle. In my Outback, if I hold the brake past a certain point, it'll hold the car for about two seconds and then roll back. If the car detects that it's on a steep enough incline, it'll engage the parking brake automatically. The parking brake is disengaged once you hit the gas.

If your serious about getting a focus st instead of your mustang gt, go look at one and test drive one again. Hopefully, it'll help make your decision. If I were in your situation, I think I would regret not give a focus st another look.

If you own a manual, you'll stall out every once and awhile. It's a little embarrassing and it gets more infrequent over time.

They are not currently selling the 2 in the US. I think they discontinued in 2015.

In my outback, when hill hold is engaged, you have to press a little extra hard on the brake to engage it.

What about used FoST? Unfortunately, I don't see any used FiST near me but I see plenty of used FoST. They seem to be hovering around $20k, give or take a few grand.

Oh, I didn't really look too hard at the new FoST. Looks like they're advertised near me for $24k. My neighbor works for Ford so I think I can get the X-Plan discount on it. How's the deprecation on the FoST compared to the FiST?

Agreed. I love the idea of a type r civic but it screams boy racer. I'm kind of curious about the new SI though.

From the Resources thread:quote:Suppose you have to pump 20 gallons to fill back up. If regular unleaded is $4.50 a gallon, and premium unleaded is $4.75 a gallon.

I'm pretty sure the new civic si is going to come out with a hatchback version.

Quite A Tool posted:This is a shot in the dark, but anyone know any good collision repair shops in the West Seattle/Seattle Area? The Service King nearest to me can't get me in for nearly a month and won't accept it if it needs to be towed in. The other parties insurance accepted liability which is nice, but now it seems like it's going to take a month+ just to get my car on the road. Dealerships usually don't do collision. If it's part of a large dealership network, they may have a dedicated collision shop. If nothing else, they may be able to recommend a place to take your car.

Applebees Appetizer posted:The 1.5 sounds great, but again, I REALLY don't want to deal with any issues it's just not worth the risk to me. Too bad because the Si sounds like fun but i don't want to smell gas and worry about the oil being contaminated ruining the motor prematurely. I would at least go look at a Civic SI. FWIW, I've had mine since last September. I'm just under 10k miles and I've had no issues. I definitely don't smell gas. Honda extended the warranty for the powertrain to 6 years, unlimited miles. I test drove a FiST and FoST last year before getting the Civic. It's the interior that killed those cars for me. The interiors were terrible compared to a GTI or Civic and were comparable in price.

I'm looking for a shift knob for a 2018 Civic Si. What's a reputable site to order one from?
