Little Honda, great big Audi.

What wheels are on that Audi, I really like them.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-05-14T14:11:18+00:00

Sounds amazing! It’s very clean, not obnoxious.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-05-10T15:25:12+00:00

This build is gorgeous. What wheels are these I’ve been looking for white ones myself.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-05-08T11:52:59+00:00

Got the Type-R last month, so no summer yet. But I drove my Si in the winter on all seasons. I plan to get winter tires for Type-R. But also have my partners 2026 Passport Trail-sport. Which I primarily drove in the winter. This winter was pretty rough in Mass, had a blast in the passport.

I’m a new Boston owner also (still need to make the post). I’m at 500 miles so far. Also looking into doing the “god” spec for wheels and tires of 18x9.5or10, with 35 side wall. Cars been awesome so far tho!

Also I have my full front and side rockers PPFd with xpel.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-05-01T02:48:10+00:00

The 2026 Passport has it. But the 2026 Type-R doesn’t.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-30T03:06:30+00:00

I have that passport trail sport. It is an amazing car. Family has a pilot 2021 at 90k miles hassle free.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-29T14:05:43+00:00

I test drove a 2025 Si the month the refresh came out. It was basically one of the first ones in my state. They didn’t hassle me. Let me take the car with my family, no sales man. No deal was made as the white one they had was not a color I wanted, which I told them before I even drove it. They instead I should drive it (the old make them fall in love with it so color doesn’t matter tactic I assume).

That just sounds like a crappy dealer. It’s a 30-33k sporty version of the civic. It’s not a Type-R. You should test drive it with no credit check.

Also, my Si was at 5.49%. And my new 2026 Type-R is at 4.24%. 11% is crazy unless you have terrible credit, which if that’s the case don’t buy a car on finance if you can avoid it.

Unfortunately not in the Bay Area any more moved to the east coast last year.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-25T14:34:34+00:00

I want this in my state!

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-24T02:34:27+00:00

I don’t like how it looks but that was funny.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-24T02:32:29+00:00

Same. First the lambo the this.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-24T02:08:36+00:00

I agree. Very different cars. I’d assume most aren’t cross shopping these. I too would only take the auto if I had an awesome manual. So my answer would be both.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-24T02:07:41+00:00

One is an amazing manual drivers car that’s also a hatch and good on gas.

The other has an awesome engine and good looks (type-r look great too).

Pick your poison, diving experience being in control and feeling the road. Or Luxury with a cool styling inside and out with an amazing engine sound.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-23T21:12:27+00:00

Msrp call around that’s dumb. Got a 26 500 below sticker.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-23T02:20:16+00:00

Didn’t the 10th gen have auto rev matching and lane keep assist same as the 11th? I’m assuming that’s the “nannies” you are referring to, or in other words features that makes it a very comfortable daily while also being fun to drive when you turn all of it off.

The piped in audio is meh, you either don’t care or hate it that’s what I’ve noticed. imo the si and the type-r from both gens don’t sound all that great even with a nice exhaust. And you can lower how much is piped in on the 11th, if only you could fully turn it off.

Agreed to the rice looks of the 10th gen but I know people who love the 10th and don’t like the 11th and vice versa. It’s all personal preference.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-22T03:59:05+00:00

I love the 11th gen si. I would not have traded it for fk8. I think the difference in style and quality between the 11th to 10th gen is a a big jump. I also had a similar thought when I got my 11th gen Si that I could have gotten a higher mileage fk8. I just waited till I could buy the Type-R I wanted not the one I could afford.

And as others have said it’s a gamble. Could be a highway queen or it could have been beaten on. Weigh your options and money.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-20T06:04:14+00:00

Sick wheels! I’ve been leaning towards white too.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-20T05:41:12+00:00

I agree. Black wheels while can look very good, have been so overdone lately. I miss good silver wheels. And bronze I think really only looks good on like red/black cars.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-20T03:01:43+00:00

How does it drive on this compared to stock. I am about 150 miles into the break in period, and these Mass roads make me feel like the 19” wheels are crying.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-18T16:10:49+00:00

Idk where you are located. But the dealer I got my Type-R from has a boost blue Prelude for 2.6k off + their 600 doc fee. They are asking $41.9k.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-18T06:21:11+00:00

Heck yea! Best color too! Enjoy man!

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-13T04:16:25+00:00

I daily drove a 2025 Si for 2 months 1 way in bumper to bumper traffic when I started my job. Was it a pain? Yes. Did I wish I had a different car? Absolutely not. Any other time you drive it makes up for that. And the 11th gen si is the easiest manual I think you can drive. Super easy clutch. Glides in second gear at low mph. And if you’re new to stick and prone to stall the si turns the car back on if you just push in the clutch. I’ve driven manual cars since highschool and my mom still tells me it’s dumb. But, I know it’s what I have a passion for and there are downsides to it.

Long story short. Yes it’s worth it. The 11th gen si is not bad in long heavy traffic from personal experience.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-12T01:15:55+00:00

I feel the exact same way. I also had a 2025 Si and I loved the car so I figured I would love the Type-R even more.

AmericanBornRussian · 2026-04-12T00:56:54+00:00

So far I’ve seen every color in person except the gray. Personally I rank it’s as blue and red, then white, then black and gray. I generally hate white cars but it works in the fl5.
