Any tips on infant proofing the back seat of a Civic Si? I have 2 kids in car seats so there are spills and the occasional ill moment in the back seat. Whatever car I get, I will get sturdy rubber mats in back from weathertech or the like. The other cars I am considering have leather seats which are easier to clean. Short of an aftermarket leather job, is there a good way to cover the rear seats or should I just steer clear till the kids are a bit older? |

My wife fell in love with driving this car and she just loves it. We were car shopping for me but nothing really appealed to me on an emotional level. But she is super happy with the car. I just hope she likes to shift a lot thankfully the shifter is awesome! I was very impressed. i thought it would be weak in the low end but it's got plenty of power and thankfully my wife will rarely find it up at 6000+ rpms Great sounding engine as well. I hated the color but it's a kind of beige metallic (gold?) The color is growing on me but it's a lot nicer than a black car for the summer and cleaning black is a pain.

I own a 2006 Honda Civic and my brother just purchased a 2008 Nissan Sentra Se-R with an automatic transmission. The pick-up of the 177 hp Se-R is great, especially compared to my 140 hp Civic. My brother loves my Civic, but said that it does not have enough power, so he test drove the Se-R and loved it. Now he owns it.  Neither my brother nor myself drive a stick shift nor do we want to learn how. But the Se-R does have to option of Paddle Shifters for a manual-like drive. I know that the Se-R and regular Civic should not be compared, but why does Honda not make a Automatic version of the Si to compete with the Automatic Se-R? In comparison the manual Spec-V Se-R has 200 hp, so why does Honda not make a similar less powered automatic option of the 197 hp Si. My Civic lease will be up in 2009 and I do love the look- both exterior and especially interior of the Civic compared to the Se-R, but it will be hard to pass up on the extra power. I would love an automatic 175 hp Honda Civic Si and even convince my brother to trade in his Se-R, as we all know the Si blows away the Se-R. Honda please consider an automatic version of the Civic Si to compete with the Sentra Se-R and maybe even the Mazda 3- which I test drove with my brother and had much more power than my Civic as well. Give us non-race inspired drivers some extra power in an automatic version! Thanks, Michael P.S.- the seats, rims and spoiler on the Si are awesome and not something that can be bought for the regular Civic, but maybe some automatic only drivers want that race inspired feel.

You can't have your cake and eat it, too! ...the seats, rims and spoiler on the Si are awesome and not something that can be bought for the regular Civic... Why not?  Honda dealers have an accessory department.
