First off, I didn't purchase mine new, since I didn't see the value in it, but at low 20s, high teens, its worth it over the regular SI.

With respect to whether the OP is a fool or not, only he can be the judge of that, as he is basing his decision on what type of car he wants.

I am just tired of hearing how the Mugen has the same exact performance of the SI because it does not. Now, is it worth 10K more new? That is a subjective question that only perspective buyers could answer. I personally chose to wait to find a gently used one.

Also, Honda didn't market the Mugen to be a Type R. I understand this. I would hope that those who bought it understood that.

And the pricing at 29.5 is simple math. Take a normal 4 door SI, add the retail cost of those parts, factor in warranty for the upgraded suspension and there ya go. Mugen parts are not cheap, included in a car or not.

If it seems like I was lashing out at just you, I was not and sorry if it seemed that way. You did the smart thing and let the og buyer take the huge loss on the price. And yes I know Mugen parts are expensive, I work in a honda parts department and even at employee pricing(10% over cost) **** is outta hand $$$$$

No offense taken at all.

It just seems that many on this board are extremely quick to criticize the car, and not based on performance. It seems that their anger stems from Honda pricing it at 29,500, and not at the car itself. Don't blame the car for Honda's choice to price it so out of market.

Thats really what it is, just priced way outta the intended market. Kinda like the new 2012 Si that doesn't have a market

I hope you didn't do it.

Mugen Si, is a regular pos civic si with a body kit and badges and 10k on the price tag right?

I wouldn't do it, that's a pretty big step downwards.
