I have. I looks much better in person and is actually quite small. In pictures you can't judge the scale to well so it does look like a minivan, but in person the dimensions make it look compact and sporty. From the B pillar back I think it looks just like an EG and everybody seems to love those.

My reservations are with the angle of the front hood and windscreen... you can't tell where one leaves off and the other begins, and those headlights which are awfully big. Perhaps black housings would help that, we'll see.

I saw it at the International Auto Show in Baltimore, MD. It definately is not minivan sized. It's smaller than a Pontiac Vibe, (Toyota Matrix) or PT cruiser.

I agree, it looks a lot better in person than the ads that are out. The pictures make it look a lot bigger than it is. Im just hoping to grab those seats and steering wheel for an eg

looks nice, but the matrix is better looking and faster.
except this SI is going to be turbo friendly.

People are actually already in the process of doing an RSX-S swap into these.

i sat in one at the LA auto show and im not very fond of the idea of the shiter being there. but overall the cars not that big just noticeably taller. I think it'll grow on me just like the EK's did.

GUTLESS car.
im mad at honda right now.
there moving backwards. they jumped on the sport compact hatch wagon. "lets make one that looks like a focus!" that seems to be the trend right now
it needs to go away...

I saw it at the International auto show in Toronto. Got to sit in it too. The Interior kicks ***, and it doesn't look very big at all. The one thing I really didn't like though was the HUGE fender gap. The car will look SO much better lowered.

Personally, I think the '02 Si is a great car. It's not that big and it drives really well. The power band is very smooth and the shifter isn't THAT awkward at all. Give it some time and everyone will be on the '02 Si's *******...
