Honda SIR - why ang daming haters?

[renzo_d10]

At ugly face ng driver.

Meron isang car club, hinde naman exclusively for Honda pero maraming naka-Honda kitang kita sa pictures nila na tama yung description natin ng drivers.

Mataba, pawis, may bimpo na naka-sabit, kalbo ta's naka-shades.

Meaning, tayo dito sa tsikot hindi nagiimbento. We're just simply revealing the obvious. Hehehe.

just to add to the thread..

my dad was also once very impressed with the SIR when it came out. wala pa akong alam sa kotse nung time na yun but i decided to ask him about it last year or 2 years ago i think (very late to the aprty, pasensya na hehe). ano ba talaga ang appeal ng SiR? what he said was very close to what everyone (except for the fanboys) is saying in this thread.. it was a good car for its time, maganda ang technology na ginamit and it was a honda. he never bought one, unfortunately, so it was one of those things that he wants to purchase now that he has the means to do so.

my dad is a purist for cars and really like keeping his cars stock because he's into the vintage car restoring business. he'd want to buy one now but isn't going for it cause he understands the difficulty of finding a pristine stock SIR. alam niya ang mga ginagawa ng mga may ari ng SIR.

point is, he respects the car for what it is leaves it at that. right now, he's got more cars that are loads better than an SIR, yet he still has that appreciation, respect and even the "want" of owning a downright stock and well-cared for SIR.

on a sidenote, he's been able to locate an SIR that he believes to be stock. it belongs to a priest in Pangasinan. di ko lang alam kung nakausap na niya na sa kanya ibenta kung i-didispose na yung kotse hehe.

In the Philippines, it had no competition in the N/A realm. Toyota had to offer a Tom's turbo package for the corolla, just to match it. The SiR was a sporty compact sedan, but it seemed fast in part of lack of competition in the Philippine market.

Yung mga ibang pari talaga, mahilig sa kotse. Pati sa Pampanga, naka-late model Honda lagi yung pari sa parish namin (CRV, tapos naging FD, tapos ngayon City); pati yung parish priest namin na isa, ganda ng pag-EUDM ng CRV Gen2 niya.

Haha naalala ko tuloy nung nagpa-tint ako ng Safari sa Banawe.

Sabi nung may-ari ng shop, yun daw paboritong kotse ng pari. Kasi daw "Safari"... Or "Sa Pari". Corny.

last monday may na encouter ako ng honda civic fanboy.. hindi ko lang alam kung SIR yung civic nya wala kasi badge eh.. basta ang plate nya WFP 210 ang driver mukhang nasa 20 yr old above na mukhang maangas tapos KALBO pero hindi naman maitim ang batok kasi payat eh.. typical civic na naka lowered tapos maingay tambucho..pero simple lang porma nung civic.. maganda nga eh..

kaso kung mag drive akala mo nasa race track.. tututok sa likod mo busina tapos overtake sabay pipinahan ka... tapos pag may huminto na jeep sa harap biglang kakabig... i'm driving an auv (adventure) eh sya singit singit eh nauunahan ko pag may nag stop na jeep... tapos bigla ako siningitan sabay pininahan ako.. aba.. eh wala sya tint sa rear so sinilaw ko sya ng HI beam... ang mokong nainis nag bagal para unahan ko sya.. ang mali nya eh adventure ang dala ko mabagal na yun eh...

so lesson learned sa kanya wag magbabagal sa harap ng auv kasi mabagal na talaga yan...

street race accident.

^Yep, yang yung sa Davao earlier this year, posted a few pages back. Nag overtake ata ng alangan, umabot sa bus na padating, di kinayanan ng b16 w/ turbo. The other pics which were removed from the net (due to the graphic nature and in respect to the driver) showed the engine outside on the road.
