I bought my tC about a month a half ago. I went to several dealers around the area before picking the tC. To be more specific, I went to the Honda dealer to see if they had a SI available for test driving because I was really interested in buying the 08 Mugen. They gave me the run around for about 30 mins since they didn't have it and tried talking me down to a regular civic or whatever they had available. Poor, poor customer service. I got mad so I went across the street and picked up my tC for 21k OTD with a couple of accessories.

Anyway, back to what this is really meant for.. One of my friends just picked up the 08 si mugen after I told him to check it out because it was the car I wanted. He let me drive it on the highway.. Damn thing was soo fresh.. He let me drive it with only 512 miles on it.. Every aspect of suspension on that car is just so much better than the tC.. Then you have the 6spd short short shifter with a nice clutch. Thing picks up pretty quick too.

What gets me mad is that he went to the same dealer and got the damn car for only 28k OTD. I guess customer service really is a big factor.

 

Umm, what's the point in this post? To tell all of us you hate your tC?

 

so... you basically want a mugen civic... i get it

 

which is basically a civic with a couple of addons with a mugen badge?

 

 

but why would you WANT to spend 30 grand on a civic when you could ahve an 07 STI for that price?????

 

thats what I was thinking.
You can get alot for close to 30k
I think you can get a GT mustang for that price.
Probably a used 350 or a STi

 

Lawl. You could upgrade a tC to make it far better than the Mugen Civic for less money than the total cost of the Mugen.

 

you should never go out on a spending splurge when you're mad!

 

\"Every aspect of suspension on that car is just so much better than the tC.. \"

Perhaps the $12,000 price difference might have something to do with it.

I guarantee that his car will be broken into or perhaps even stolen in the next 90 days. Ricers are willing to spend a lot of money and perhaps even risking their lives just so they can add more plastic to the body of their cars and a badge writing in Japanese.

You guys need to watch out, you might offend some highly intelligent people who feel that a Civic is a bargain at $30,000. LOL!

 

oh geez its gonna be another thread on the mugen civic and why it is overpriced / why it is worth it, etc....

I lost interest in those threads after they got moved to Off-Topic. But I wish I had paid more attention because I just saw this picture for the first time... priceless...

thats right.. 2008

 

so.. you bought your tC out of spite?..... i guess thats cool...

 

$30,000......at the end of the day, your still driving a civic

 

Cummins Turbo diesel fricking owns. At 200,000 miles you\'re barely breaking the motor in.

Tundras are a fricking joke when you compare them to American diesel trucks.

I also might get one of those, just the quad cab. The one you got won\'t fit in my garage.
