just found out per vtec.net that the si sedan is a go this fall- may have to pass on the fit i have a deposit on for one of these :eek: anyone else feel like the would rather step up to an Si? i realize how much different the cars are, but i they are both ones that i am strongly considering...

i may have to just off my beloved mint CRX Si and get both :eek:

 

If you have the chance to get a Si, DO IT. I know the dealer that's near me is marking up whatever they have and people don't care, they just want one to have one.

 

Only draw back - FALL '06

 

Fall 06 isnt that long from now; if you could wait for the Fit it wouldnt be that much more trouble to wait a few more months for the si sedan.

But if you afford an Si (higher initial price, higher insurance, higher fuel costs, higher upkeep) then I say get it. You have an element, so you have a vehicle that you can fall back on if you need the utility factor.

 

The Si sedan is definitely cool. However, I think my first purchase from Honda will be the Fit. I could see myself picking up the Si a year or two after the Fit.

 

I am liking the Civic Sedan SI, looks like something I would drive!

 

however.........as im looking to be in the city (chicago) years from now...maybe Fit will be a better choice.....

 

I'd never buy a Civic Si right now, of any type.

They just showed off that shiny Civic Type R concept thingy (or is that the real production car)?

Anyway, I'd want to know for DAMNED sure that the CTR isn't coming here before I drop any coin on an Si.

I still just want an EK9 CTR....is that too much to ask?

 

Same thing over here....FIT or Sedan Si

Hard question but Ima wait until the Sedan Si comes out and then compare but one of them would def be in my driveway by the end of this year.

 

The CTR shown was a concept, but the production version should be very similar. But whats so great about the CTR, compared to our Si?

 

Any links I don't know what you guys are talking about

The closer equilivant to the Fit is the regular Civic Sedans, not the Si (smaller engine, higher gas mileage, low(er) price), and those are already available.

 

The Civic sedan is a nice car. 140 HP and you can get a stick or auto trans. Be a nice city car with the auto trans, plus insurance would not be to the moon as it would with an Si coupe. The mileage is really good, about like the Fit. The difference would be the cost of the car. Now having said all that, today I'm driving home on the (infamous) freeway and what do I see right next to me? A Civic Si, kind of a burnt orange color, and boy did it look nice!!! Drool, drool......

 

To the OP:

It's not a dilemma. It's a dumb situation. Why would you compare and cross shop a C segment car (New Civic) to a B-segment subcompact hatchback (Fit)?

It's not a dilemma. It's a dumb situation. Why would you compare and cross shop a C segment car (New Civic) with about 90 more horspower and an 8K price difference to a B-segment subcompact hatchback (Fit)?

 

Maybe we are Honda enthusiasts and can afford either one?

 

I may end up getting the Fit. I care about fuel economy, and the magic seats, and the small size. Plus, it's a new line, so it has that trend value.

 

Regardless for my eternal love for all things hatchback..seems like a tough car to be able to pick up girls in

 

HAHA That is true. The Civic is a better girl picker uper than the fit. LOL
