Hi folks. I just picked up my 2006 Honda Civic SI w/navi on Sunday. After waiting for a couple of months to test drive the SI, my local dealership finally got one. Funny thing is, I just sold my 1997 NSX-T last weekend. Reason for selling the NSX; my company moves to a different city and I have to take public transportation now. I do not want to rack on the miles as well as parking in the parking lot of the transit station.

Long story short, I go out to the dealership with an open mind. I look at the price and with a 30k and some change. The car was marked up over 6k. So I told the guy I rather just get an S2000 for that price. Although I owned an S2000 before, I would not mind it again. So after many hours at the dealership, I got the price down to about MSRP (A little lower actually), with some cool extras.

Overall impresion so far, fun car for a little over 20k. Definately a less attention-getter compared to my previous cars; although some preludes/civics did rev on me right as I exited the dealership. Waiting for the break-in to be over with so that I can vtec it a bit.

Im trying not to mod the car since this will be a commuter, but already reading about different intakes/exhausts/headers. Very tempting.....Parts sure are cheaper compared to the NSX/S2000.

Cliffs: Sold my NSX a week ago. Mysteriously get a call from the dealership after trying to test drive one since December. Test drove the car, mark up was over 6k. Brought the price down to a little under MSRP. Bought the car and am having fun without hurting the pockets.

 

Hey you know how it goes ... once you get to teh top of Honda mountain .. only way is downward

 

Haha, I agree. It gets lonely at the top, so one must come back down to have some fun

 

u will definately notice people driving more rude than when u were driving s2k/nsx

i really noticed when i went from 350z -> s2000 -> RX7 -> MPV -> (civic SI or RSX-S soon)

**** i wanna VTEC them but i realize im in a Van... lol

 

Good kill on the negotiations..

and finally a new member (to the 06si forum) that uses cliff notes & proper punctuation.

:sheds tears:
