Default What would you change in the new Civic?

New that the new Si is out, what would you change about it, or improve on?

* Definatlly include HID headlights, they would look so good on the new Si.
* Change the dash layout, didn't get used to it yet...


That's all I can think of for now, other than that it's perfect

I agreed with you. HID improves the vision a lot.

Performancewise, I would go for a set of better suspension and tires or maybe brakes.

Yeah HIDs would be great, I would defintely offered a Brembo Brake Package, I like the dash setup, The suspension is great but would rather see some better shocks stock. I would have changed the whole stock wheel design as it is very ugly and does not pull me that much, a wheel similar to the DC5 Type R wheel would have been nice

Those flower wheels need to go. I wonder if there will be different ones for 2007.

dont wanna be hated here but that rear bumper is too BIG...i think honda should have cut it off, it would look a lot better...but then again i know that there will be many aftermarket parts to come...well just have to wait and see

Sell a lint remover with the car, cause GAWD these seats are impossible to keep looking clean

More power! 220hp at the min!

Floormats that say Si that come with the car.

And, how about some willing salesmen at the dealerships that actually give you something free WITH the car, I don't care if it's mudflaps or a carcover. I mean damn, allow some room for negotiation when selling this car, esp at MSRP.

Add HID's, change the wheels, cant comment on the DBW as I havent driven it but I dont see whats wrong with a good ol' DBC setup, the back end has grown on me but I still am not that fond of it, could use a little reshaping.

Even with that said it is a great car that has mostly everything we wanted.

Make the front end a little longer, better stock rims, and have a normal looking e-brake.

I'm probably gonna get flamed for this, but I like the blue dash in the LX/EX better than the red in the SI. The red reminds me of Pontiac, and I want none of it.

Honda should include Bluetooth Handsfree Link with the navigation system.

that's about all i can think about. . . and i'm already takin care of teh HID part myself. . .

i think the steering wheel is great IMHO - in comparison , my 2000 Si... yeah that **** aint got NOTHIN on the 2006 steering wheel

i love the dash layout.. NEW .. keyword.. way better than the old primitive style. . . its kind of like sayin.. "the s2000 sucks, digital dash, should be analog" but i think everyone is referring to the 2tier dash

overall.. i wouldn't change a think, i think they did a great job.. other than a stock front lip lol but thats how they make their money, accessories

when rbf351 and i pulled apart my SI for the navi retrofit
we noticed that on the right side of the steering wheel ( frame ) there is a screw hole empty just like the left where the voice controls were input

im assuming that is where bluetooth will go
just like they did after 2 model years on the tsx

also there are 2 or 3 connectors that do not get used on the navi system, so i' msure one of those will be used for bluetooth

i got one no one has mentioned, i know its normal for civics to have non-folding mirrors, and i mean manual not electric, but they should have put them on this car, it does cost enough. i like it on my accord because just incase you park where stupid people drive to close to other cars, they wont actually take the mirror with them when they drive by, it would fold in, alot cheaper to fix than replacing the whole thing.

anyone else notice whole underside has plastic covers to keep air from collecting in pockets under the car, its like an indy car setup
