Civic Si

Just got thru driving a 07 Civic Si. I was wowed to say the least. After driving every Honda made I was more than pleased with the performance for the price of the 07 Civic Si. Low-end torque is much improved, suspension, ride quality is definately for the Sports only crowd. Not rough but firm and Very stable. The is the BEST Front Drive car I've ever driven, and it is right out of the box. I've driven so many road racers, 1/4 miles hondas but the 07 Si is a big winner and I am amazed and deeply proud of what Honda has accomplished. I have a few concerns issues but they aren't with performance. The seats are a bit narrow for my 190lb 6'1" frame, the seat belts are very hard to grab hold of, the tach/guage cluster is sort of an after thought. The colors available are uninspiring. But most my biggest complaint are the dealers pre-installing all those stupid options, and then cahrging you for taking them off ! The car I am considering came with mud gaurds at $299, sunroof visor at $299 and wheel locks at $199. That's $800 for pieces of plastic and lexan and ordinary wheel locks whgich you can get for around $20 at auto-zone....
However this is a Very Important Performance car, maybe the best Honda has yet to offer -as far as- "bang for the buck"...

I love the look of Civic Si, the price and the fact that it's so much better than the previous model but my concern was for space. The Fit took care of all my needs for four doors with a hatch for fitting everything I want to carry. It's already been addressed once but if there had been a third model Si Fit I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

Do u live in Canada???

That would make sense, cause the 07 SI have not been released in the US.

Only other reasonable solution is that the dealer placed an invalid sticker on the vehicle.
