#51 of 487 Re: What mpg are you getting and what highway RPMs [tseosh] by rmrkj2 Feb 08, 2007 (12:21 pm)
Replying to: tseosh (Feb 03, 2007 10:55 pm) Just purchased an Si this past weekend. Gets about 25 MPG, and 75MPH the tach is reading 3000-3100. Thing to keep in mind is Premium Fuel Only, and my insurance went up over $600. I'm glad to pay every penny though - it's an awesome car! Replies to this message: tseosh (Feb 11, 2007 3:38 pm)

Replying to: rmrkj2 (Feb 08, 2007 12:21 pm) Thanks for the responses. I bought an Si sedan on Friday and in mixed driving I got 28mpg on the way home. The highway rpms are not an issue at all- very smooth and relaxed on the highway. Nice car!

#54 of 487 Price expectation falling... by deekz Feb 21, 2007 (10:12 am)
Just a heads-up...I live in Southern California and a local dealer is advertising $20,300 for the SI sedan. I would imagine you could perhaps do a little better with some haggling. There are several sedan Si's on the lots out here. Maybe reality has hit some dealers who were asking sticker and others asking for ridiculous markups. These aren't Ferrari's after all. I am not dissing this car...I was once a happy owner of a 1998-99 Si. The only thing I did not like was that I had to drive it like it was stolen to get past the lady in the minivan or truck while living in suburban Texas at the time. The high rev VTEC really shines and rewards away from traffic in windy roads and open highways.
#55 of 487 Si Sedan vs. Speed3 by nagatahawk Feb 22, 2007 (11:59 am)
I come from an '92 MR2,'05 BMW 325i manual,and i just test drove the Speed3 and the Sedan SI.   The Sedan SI was a very pleasant car to drive as was the Speed3. The fit and finish on both cars were as good as it can get. the speed3 looked very racy just sitting there. and it had stump pulling torque down low. The Speed3 was by far the faster of the two, although it had some torque steer somtimes coming out of a low speed street corner at low throttle input.   My choice is the Honda Civic Sedan SI. It is a very well balanced to make it a nice a daily driver. Ride, steering and ergonomics were the top notch. Now I all I have to do is choose a color and make the deal.

Replying to: nagatahawk (Feb 22, 2007 11:59 am) Plus, the Si will get about twice the MPG of the 'speed3. Replies to this message: tseosh (Feb 22, 2007 3:30 pm)

Replying to: vincep (Feb 22, 2007 12:05 pm) "Plus, the Si will get about twice the MPG of the 'speed3."   I counted out the Subaru WRX and STi, Mitsubishi Evo, and Mazdaspeeds for several reasons. MPG was a big one- also, crash test results and safety equipment, resale vale, and overall quality. To get decent mpg in a sports sedan, one needs to move up to the base model BMW and Lexus... for $10k more than the Si.   The Civic Si is a bargain for around $20k- the price and gas mileage make it a decent economy car, too.   Another factor with the Honda is that the Hondacare warranty is available for 7 years/120K miles for only about $800. That is a heck of a deal; plus it is transferable to help with resale value.
#58 of 487 2x the mileage? c'mon! by deekz Feb 23, 2007 (10:44 am)
I had a 02 wrx...while not a gas efficient car for it's size due to all-wheel drive parasitic loss and turbo, I still managed to average 19-20 on premium. I also had a 98-99 si and if I recall correctly, I averaged 20-23 depending on how often I got it revving far into the vtec zone. anyhow, 2x the mileage is not quite right   To tseoh: you are right, the resale on the civic si was phenomenal. I was able to trade-in the SI 1.5 years after I bought it at a loss of about $1500. This is amazing since I had been rear ended (but repaired of course) and it had 15-20k miles on it.   I have not tested the new SI, but believe you cannot lose as long as you like it. Have fun deciding.

Replying to: a10thunder (Feb 03, 2007 1:30 pm) Really? $200 over invoice? Checking there inventory tonight, I found quite a few SI sedans and coupes on the lot. Plus they are offering a 2.9 apr on 07 civics. I'm going to call tomorrow. I really, really want a habernero red one badly. Last weekend I did inquire and the said they'd sell at $700 over invoice for a 4 door, and MSRP for a coupe. Replies to this message: ito (Mar 04, 2007 1:42 pm) aaronr121 (Mar 13, 2007 3:07 am)
