Default si sedan differences?

hey im thinking about getting an si sedan getting kind of tired of the eg hatch but was wondering whats the differences between 06-10 (years) ive only really seen the front bumper have fog lights on the bottom grill and guessing the newer years have its own spot for fog lights. anything different on engine/motor/tranny/features/etc?

'07 - added VSA to the Si trim (Si sedan introduced in '07)
'08 - added TPMS
'09 - Different wheels from '06-'08, clear 3rd brake lights on spoiler, standard fog lights, clear rear turn signals (when not blinking), USB

imo, the 09+ frontends are much nicer than the 06-08

The sedan came out in '07. The '08+ sedans supposedly have the 3rd gear synchro updated. The '09+ have a USB port, which is really attractive to me.

is the 3rd gear synchro a recall or fixed under warranty? i might buy a 2007 sedan si with 32,000 miles for 15g seems like a good deal he kept up with maintenance at dealer very well. my only concern is if theirs anything wrong with the car when i buy it am i still covered under warranty? whats covered?

The powertrain warranty is 5 years/60,000 miles, I believe...

However, Honda has a pretty good track record for fixing their transmissions. I believe that the infamous 7th-gen Accord automatic transmissions are essentially warrantied for life because they had so many problems.

I don't know an exact answer, but it wouldn't deter me much from buying a used Si sedan if that's what I wanted.

I prefer the 09+ front end, it's much more aggressive and pretty much eliminates the need for a lip kit IMO.

I get 27-30 mpg in my Si sedan. It depends on how you drive it really. I drive pretty easy. Always shift early unless I am trying to accelerate fast.

Don't forget that the 2010 has a black intake manifold cover instead of the silver one on the 07-09. The interiors between the 07-08 and 09-10 are also different, some buttons on the dash are satin silver for 09-10 whereas they are chrome on 07-08, the cloth on the seats are different, the 07-08 have a softer cloth while the 09-10 have a mesh type fabric. And I don't know if anyone said it but the trim piece between the taillights is color matched and flat on the 07-08, and chrome and has shape to it on the 09-10
