Instanced Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 2.5I's are still nice cars... they are what they are... and can be done up to look just as nasty as a 2.5gt (IMO better looking because of no hood scoop... much cleaner looking)... when my fiance's car ('01 NA LGT) finally craps out, I wanna get a 2.5i... so i can drive it to work and she can drive my car (my commute is 100+miles/day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyjneilson Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 ^ that is a long commute... reminds me of my parents growing up in Sacramento and them driving to San Fransisco everyday.... 101 miles each way. That was the main factor in my purchase. I drive a lot everyday with College and Work so the Main reason was fuel cost/budget/needing a car since I rolled my civic.

FLZ_Boy Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 To OP, is there an option for you to swap out to a 5 speed manual? I would think this would: 1. Save a little weight. 2. Better gearing. 3. Probably save more money than on aftermarket weight reduction. I guess the down part is convincing the wife to drive manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users LieutenantDan Posted May 4, 2011 Mega Users Share Posted May 4, 2011 That's a terrible idea considering the 2.5i comes with a 5 speed option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestratomaster Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 yeah, that would be a huge waste of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 yeah, that would be a huge waste of money Yea, but it would save weight and make the car faster!

That was the main factor in my purchase. I drive a lot everyday with College and Work so the Main reason was fuel cost/budget/needing a car since I rolled my civic. Gas mileage isn't appreciably better in an N/A than in an LGT. I drive 100 miles a day, and seem to get about the same mileage as the N/A guys. It costs me an extra $4.50 to fill my tank, but smiles-to-the-gallon are way higher in my OBXT.
