Default Whats the word '06 Civic SI vs MKV GTI?

I'm not trolling here or trying to be off topic.
I just want to see what the honda\acura guys think about the new MKV vs the new Civic Si.
Honda's got the K20 ~190 whp, LSD, great handling (arguably best)
VW's got 2.0T, great handling, more luxery, more $$$
please no fanboy stuff

I'm new here, so maybe this should be posted in general? If that's what's right maybe a mod can move it?

Well as much as i hate hondas but compaired to VW repair/maintence(SP) costs are much higher on a VW. the honda K20 is a very well developed engine and has been around long enough for a nice list of mods you can do to em.
Save your money do not buy the VW...............get the honda and get a nice colored one too.
I havent even seen one on the streets yet so that would be a nice sight to be seen.

honda makes a superb motor..although their recent styling is "eh" to me..
VW w/ the K20 in it..that would be awesome! love the VW styling and the kool stuff it comes with.. but its hard to beat honda reliability

The APR software puts the 2.0T @ 267bhp & ~300ftlbs
~$599
The reliability issues to me don't worry me though my current VW has been
very reliable (although that's against the norm)

Damn thats allot of Hp for that lil thing..............is it proven tho????
Thats kinda hard to believe. But i dont read allot about VW since they really dont have anything on my car stock for stock anyway.
choose what you think will be original................its all about what you think not anyone else

I drive a saturn Ion man

if you are serious about modding I would get the VW. They seem to take well to modification with less money invested.
