And I got 1.9% interest too. Almost like they paid me to drive the car. I wish I fit better in the new Civic. that new coupe is VERY nice. I'd be one of the first in line for that new SI. I'm hoping the Si seats are better than the regular ones. There's a slim chance I may have another SI soon.

Wait until they bring the REAL Si. Si is hatchback, the new Si is just an EX coupe with better engine.

Yeah, 1.9% APR was just the icing on the cake. I was earning 3+% at ING. The CR-V is at 2.9% just as ING raised the rates to 3.75% and Emigrant is offering 4%.

I should be clearer, I hear what seems to be the sound of some kind of metal vibrating against metal, and the dealer thought it was the water pump, claimed the tech even put a stethoscope on it. I think they were in earnest. The rear rotors do have deep grooves in them, you can see/feel them...

The "clunk" only happens when you go over a certain style of bump, could be a noise made by the shock absorber.

Hey! Anyone care to comment on these prices? 199 for front pad replacement (with rotor turning), and 399 for rear pads with new rotors? How about a water pump?

Happy Holidays-

I'm gonna put it on ebay as soon as I can get around to it. I'm selling the bar, springs and possibly the wheels.

Learned Friends,
I need new springs for the cheapo Si I just bought... and the only OEM-type springs I can find are from Honda... at $180 a corner, which is ridiculous.

There are tons of aftermarket products available, but I'm a little at sea as to what's worth getting and what isn't.

Is there an enthusiast site somewhere that specializes in these little cars?

On the positive side, the car is essentially rust-free, and I pulled out the front DS shock absorber with just the tools at hand, and in 30 minutes. Pretty unusual in MI; this is a left-coast car and it shows.

TIA
-Mathias

Honda doesn't supply floor mats or mud flaps with any of their products. These are all optional. I think they are the only manufacture the that doesn't sell them with the cars. Also your right, the trunk cover is just a piece of processed wood. One of the cheaper sides of Honeda if you ask me. still works well though.
