even though I like Hondas and am getting my parents' Civic ...

[Maverick2002]

... I still find this somewhat amusing.

doesn't the regular civic have a bigger engine?

no.

 

[Maverick2002]

new one is 1.7L

but that still doesn't change anything in reference to the joke

 

[Pepsi90919]

mine has a 1.5

 

[ElFenix]

ugh, i thought it was just the Si that had a buzzy little engine

 

[zCypher]

My mother's has 1.5 also. DAMN that car sucks! They could have at least geared it to be more fun/faster! But noo.... it has to be a total slushbox. I bet even a 1.3 swift/metro is as fast/faster! SAD!

lol @ that pic 😀

It isn't meant to be fun/fast. And I highly doubt a 1.3L Metro could hold its own against a 1.5L civic, regardless... 😛

Yeah, I raced my friend's metro in my fiancee's 1.5L CRX..... I won, barely.

I don't think anyone else knew we were racing, it was quite humorous.

RX-7 has 1.3L... it's boosted though... but still... 😛

 

[Siddhartha]

My CRX had a 70 hp, 1.5 liter engine.

 

[radioouman]

You guys and your new fangled sports cars.

My Reliant had a huge 2.2 liter engine and created 86 horsepower. I couldn't spin the tires in the rain.

Even by compact car standards, civics are on the slow side (disregarding some vtec ones).

The new ones are good cars though, roomy, safe and well built. Just slow still.

Neither can i... 😛 my 2.5 liter 4 banger has 100hp... i'm sure less than that now... i think i would have to snap the tranny in half before i can spin anything... let alone my tires. 😀

F1 cars have very little displacement!

Yes, but rotary engines use displacement more efficiently, it's hard to explain though without seeing a diagram on how it works.
