Actually, some of us do want to hear 4 cylinder engines screaming along at high rpm. I'm a pretty big fan of the sound my 1.0L, 13,000rpm 4 cylinder makes. I also like the sound my 1.8L, 7,000rpm 4 cylinder makes. Oh and of course, who could forget my old 2.2L 7,400rpm 4 cylinder VTEC motor son?! That shyte sounded beautiful wit dat Buddy Club Pro-Spec son. BEAUTIFUL SON.






Also note that no 4 cylinder/4-stroke engine will EVER sound like a single cylinder/2-stroke equipped weedeater......

Well, except maybe to people who have no idea what the fuck they're listening to.

You may want to look up the definition of blatantly.

Read the article, they're talking about the '05. Someone just tacked 2009 2010 onto the beginning of the article and attached a picture of a standard '09 IS to make it look up-to-date.

when are you exchanging your awesome fast car for that minivan now that you have a kid and all

my wife bought her car because it's well built and comfortable to drive. It is far fom a high performance vehicle. It's not even close to as quick or agile as the WRX I used to drive when it was in stock form.

[Edited on June 20, 2009 at 8:55 PM. Reason : the cars you posted understeer just as bad as her accord though.]

I, too, rather enjoy the sound of a revvy inline 4.

I prefer the exhaust be relatively quiet at low RPM and low throttle, though. It should only sound like it's trying to make power when it is (trying)

Inline 6's are confusingly smooth. Some part of me expects more vibration from an engine under load. If I owned a car with an inline 6 I might have to open the exhaust up or something to regain some of that feedback

The fact that most Hondas are FWD is worlds more annoying than being inline-4. Torque steer is lame.

^Inline 6's are naturally balanced; the only motor setup that does so (also inline 12s, 18s, etc)

All the forces cancel out. Hence the super-smoothness. Its a shame there's not more of them...

6/20/2009 10:35:05 PM

that;s why god gave us the cummins 6BT

I loved my Civic. It was a shitbox with the best turning radius for parallel parking on Chamberlain

Also V-12s.

6/21/2009 8:42:39 AM

^ that would count as two inline 6's

6/21/2009 9:50:26 AM

correct, along with the inline 12s and 18s (which you essentially never see, due to them being prohibitively long). he just forgot to mention the obvious other configuration besides I-6.

6/21/2009 10:00:01 AM

that has to be the worst looking dash design i have ever seen

my eyes are still hurting

6/21/2009 10:10:13 AM

yeah that dash causes ADD.

torque steer is god awful with 270hp and >210 ftlbs of torque.

boy does it make a 2000lb car move though!

6/21/2009 10:22:50 AM

i'm really glad honda finally started to realize how much inherent performance red R's give a car. like many ricers before them, honda finally realized that two Rs > a single R

oh hell no... i will NEVER own a minivan (unless it is the Renault Espace with the 800 hp F1 engine!)... i would rather die than own a minivan.

my family and i like my Volvo S60 2.0T just fine... and it is more than adequate in term of space. but yeah, it is not an "awesome fast car" though when then turbo kicks in it does feel good!

^ well, there are only 2 possible scenarios under which i would get a minivan:

1) i start liking minivans, and get one even though there isn't a need. NEVER HAPPENING.

2) there is a need to get one. also never happening because we plan to have just 2 children, and i don't see the need of a minivan for 2 children. if i needed more space, i would rather get a nice hot swedish or german station wagon. or maybe an suv, even though i am not a fan of them. but a minivan? i would get a truck before i got a minivan!
