Replying to: plist (Mar 25, 2007 7:12 am) perhaps the questions have already been answered but:   350w stereo coupe vs sedan the 350w (w/sub) stereo is only available on coupes. The sedan has no place to mount the sub (rear deck).   wheels: you can fit 18" wheels easily (well, some suspension mods are required and drop the car 1") as the dealer installed HFP package includes them with P215/40ZR18 tires. largest factory is 17". They don't help the ride or mileage, but look great. HFP can be installed on any trim, and is not standard on any trim including Si. It retails for about $4800, but is usually heavily discounted if already installed like mine was.   curiously the HFP (Honda Factory Performance) isn't a factory installed option.....   fwiw, I have a 07 Galaxy Gray EX coupe with HFP. ~700 miles so far, no complaints. I miss the power from my 97 v6 Camry tho, but the Si isn't available with AT. This is my 1st Honda after a 91, 93 and 97 Camry. The new Camrys are just too big.   So far (~700 miles) my mileage is running ~30mpg with a mix of city/interstate but mostly wide open city freeway at speeds up to 80-85mph.   pic over here: http://my.gardenguides.com/forums/topic/14289

Replying to: jasonc3 (Oct 06, 2006 9:06 pm) It's not worth buying the EX. The LX already provides many good features, and I think its a wonderful car. Replies to this message: nj2pa2nc (Apr 14, 2007 9:44 am) eldaino (Apr 16, 2007 7:01 am)

Replying to: sciontc101 (Apr 13, 2007 5:40 pm) if you do not want or use the sunroof than go for the lx. I love having a sunroof and try to have it open as much as possible.

Replying to: karkook (Dec 24, 2006 4:52 am) I think my choice will be the EX too when and if I decide to buy. The wipers and the split seat make it worth it for me. I had an EX Civic coupe that had both, traded for a CRV LX and no wipers. Makes a big difference in the heavy rain we have here now and then. Thanks all for helping me make that decision. It may not happen this year, but it will happen.

I ended up tweaking the sound system and throwing on some Civic alloys from a '05 Si and am very satisfied with my LX. If I had a do over though, I'd go for the EX. Would have liked the 4 wheel disc brakes. Have them on our 3s and they work very well. But I do love my Galaxy Gray sedan and it's been a great car this past 10 months.   The Sandman

Replying to: sciontc101 (Apr 13, 2007 5:40 pm) for some people it is. It depends what your priorities are.   Me? I could not do without my 4 wheel disc brakes.   Alloy's? Sure you can get them aftermarket like sand did, but some people would rather just finance them with the car.   Better sound system? Again, some people don't want to 'upgrade' so quickly on a car that is brand new.   To me, the sunroof is the only real 'not worth it if you don't dig it' feature.   When i got my civic, i was coming from a 01 ex coupe with no alloys. I HAD to have alloys and i knew i wasn't going to be able to save up for them anytime soon and i didn't want to leave the dealer with a new car that still lacked some things i REALLY wanted. Ex it was. Don't get me wrong, i love the price tag on the lx, i think that should be how much and ex costs, but well, sometimes you gotta deal.
#32 of 45 Why no trim level 'insignia' on my LX? by nr37 Apr 16, 2007 (8:59 am)
Hi everyone    Well, short of sounding utterly vain about this {and/or just plain silly!}, I was just was wondering why I've seen so many Civics around that have the DX, LX, or EX little 'insignia' thingy on the back, yet my '07 black LX sedan does not.  It certainly isn't something that's got me upset, just curious. Does anyone know why? We picked it up in Mass....it's final assembly was done in Ohio...I was wondering if it's determined by the color, or where it's assembled or something? I just can't rest until I know !   One more thing. I've read -somewhere- on one of the Civic forums that they are liked by thieves...anyone else read that? Weren't they racing Civics on 'The Fast & The Furious' ?! I mean, I really think my car is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and am SURE everyone else does too {hee hee!}so I'm getting a bit worried that when we go out to the 'big city' {I'm talking maybe 20,000 people}, that someone will steal it!! We live in a very rural part of Vermont, and don't hear a whole lot about stolen cars at any of these bigger towns we go to...but I guess it's a concern. For us at this point, it's not financially possible to invest in a security system. The added cost of the insurance and the payment is enough at this point   Maybe just some basic 'heads up' rules to follow would be good advice!   Anyway, just lovin' the car. It's so snappy!

#33 of 45 Civic by sandman46 Apr 16, 2007 (10:18 am)
All models just have the word "Civic" on the back of them now...no more designation about which model it is. Pretty easy to tell though. DX's have black outside mirrors; LX's have color keyed outside mirrors; EX's have alloy wheels,sunroofs and disc brakes all around & Hybrids have alloys made especially for them...very lightweight with no spokes. Always thought the little chrome DX's, LX's & EX's were a bit much...better to keep the chrome to a minimum.   The Sandman Replies to this message: nr37 (Apr 17, 2007 6:14 am)

Replying to: nr37 (Apr 16, 2007 8:59 am) yes yes the sand is right! Now its no ones buisness if you have a dx, lx or ex. (the mirrors is a good indication...i always look at the door handles; dx's have black ones, lx has body colored but no alloys, ex has alloys.)   don't worry about your civic being stolen. The reason older civics were popular to steal was because it was a car that could very easily be made fast due to its light weight and hardiness of its engine. Theives also like fast cars. But they wont be paying too much attention to your new civic!

Replying to: sandman46 (Apr 16, 2007 10:18 am) Ah Sandman,   How do you always know the answer! Thanks. I can rest now I think the thing looks very sharp w/o the extra chrome too. My kids & husband are so sick of me pointing out every Civic and it's trim level to them these last few months, it's good I've finally gotten my own to keep me amused!   Thanks again!
