Default bye bye insight.... not really

so after having this baby for 2 years i finnally got the chance to get another honda....

civic si hatchback !!!
this car is pretty cool

i really like the I2 it just wasnt my type.... i needed a faster car and fun to drive (stick)

however, im not getting rid of my lil baby
im keeping it since i still like it
my mom will drive it mostly from now on... i will drive it once in a while

she needed a car so i guess this is my way of helping her !!!
we both win!!

im having a hard time finding a forum that is dedicated only to the civic si hatchback thou
all of them include the sedan and the coupe

other downfall is that there arent categories like here

i got used to this one

hope you guys can still advice me and give me feedback on my posts like you always do

after all.....this is a family : D

What size tires? Are they 195, 205's? For instance, the OEM tire size on the 10's-11 Insights are 175 65 15.

What was the effect on milege? I just recently went with slightly larger/wider tires (195 60 R 15's) and lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 MPG.
