Replying to: aaronr121 (Mar 01, 2007 9:43 pm) I paid $20,289 before Tax and Tags for a Galaxy Gray sedan si. Only dealer installed options were wheel locks and splash guards. I opted for the 4.9% and a $160.61 payment for 5yrs. The payments would have been $280.00 at 2.9% for 3yrs. I put down $13,000. I have no idea what the invoice was even though she said I paid invoice. I hate when they always try to convince you that you made a great deal and say we made $0 on you... I was dealing with 4 dealers all from their internet sales. Replies to this message: aaronr121 (Mar 13, 2007 3:07 am)

#63 of 487 Test Drove This Weekend by punkr77 Mar 06, 2007 (9:54 am)
Went to Honda and Toyota/Scion dealers this weekend with the wife. She's in the market for a new car thanks to a hick running a stopsign.   We were looking at 5 door hatchbacks/crossovers since she wanted something with lots of cargo room. At the Honda dealer, the sharp looks of the new civics really hooked her. Since I used to have a 95 Civic EX and loved it, I told her to test drive the SI sedan.   Both of us were floored by it. She didn't want to get out of it. I test drove it and was amazed at how far Civics have come. Was fun to drive (more fun than my 99 SVT Cobra), handled like a slot car, great clutch/tranny, and had a nice ride. I took it down a rode that is heck on the kidney's in my car (railroad tracks, potholes, etc) and it wasn't bad at all. Great seats, big trunk. Engine and exhaust notes that get the blood pumping. Looks like it might have a future home with us.   The only real competition in my mind is the Mazdaspeed 3 which is next on our test drive list. The WRX is a few grand more, and is another hot one, but my wife hates the looks.   Better than a used 3 series, probably not. Then again the Civic Si will likely be cheaper to service and last longer (to get a Bimmer at this price it'll already have half it's useful life gone).   My wife summed it up best. "All the other cars we tested felt like just a car. That one felt like something special"
#64 of 487 Can someone who owns... by targettuning Mar 06, 2007 (11:13 am)
a new Si sedan tell me where the window sticker says it is assembled, Japan? Also while looking please tell me if the engine/transmission are also assembled in Japan. Why do I want to know? I am involved in an ongoing dispute with another. My position is that only the Si sedan/coupe is still imported and all other "run-of-the-mill" 2006/07 Civics sold in the US or Canada are assembled in either Ohio or Canada. thanks.

#66 of 487 SI 2007 sedan vs more expensive sports sedans by shrivastava Mar 06, 2007 (4:19 pm)
I know their shouldn`t be any comparison as far as the specs go 197 hp vs 306 hp (Infiniti g35 2007 sedan) 0r 300 (BMW 335i sedan). But let me tell you I have been driving a 1995 Nissan Altima for the last 3-4 years and recently drove a Mazdaspeed 6. I realized that I would want a powerful new sedan sometime soon.   Infiniti G35 and BMW 335 both got my attention immediately. Haven`t test driven any, but when i came to know about the new Civic SI sedan, I thought there might be something in there for me.   Coming to the point, I want to know about the driving pleasure in the Civic SI, the power, acceleration, braking. Other powerful cars also don`t give a good mileage and the SI stands out there.   Is the SI sedan best of both the worlds? And what are the major concerns from a fast driver`s point of view.

Replying to: targettuning (Mar 06, 2007 11:13 am) At least the transmission is made in Japan. I believe the Hybrid Civic is the only model made exclusively in Japan. Interestingly, that model comes out with a perfect owner survey score in the 2007 Consumer Reports car issue. In several areas related to build quality, the North American made Civics are rated lower by owners.

Replying to: shrivastava (Mar 06, 2007 4:19 pm) Well, although the si is sort of a performance bargain, it does not really play in the same field as though guys. But you can still get a heck of a lot of fun out of it, it handles great and its fairly inexpensive.   When compared to the other sports sedans you mentioned, i think that the civic comes short in the rush off the line. IF you are unfamiliar with hondas engine tuning philosophy, this may be a little off putting: they have very little torque but have a very nice top end power band.   Most peopole associate a 'fast' car with being quick off the line. The civic is peppy, but don't expect to be killing any g35's or anything.   The handling is phenomenal though. One of the best front drivers out there.   Again you would be comparing it to two rear wheel drive sedans which is again unfair. The civic is cheap compared to those cars, but you can't expect the same exact performance from it either.

Replying to: a10thunder (Feb 01, 2007 8:43 am) Most people who buy a sports sadan would like an automatic option. I would buy the SI sadan if Honda offered a auto. Replies to this message: eldaino (Mar 08, 2007 10:33 am)

Replying to: eldaino (Mar 07, 2007 7:26 am) Thanks for the reply eldaino.   I guess civic SI would be better to drive in snow, due to the front wheel drive.   Which car would you compare it with as far as off the line acceleration is concerned? Audi A4 2.0 T (200 hp) ..the horse powers are comparable. But as you mentioned the Honda engines..Is SI sedan slower than A4 off the line?
