wow who the hell is charging 37g cdn for one of these. The list is $31900(cdn) for an S and that is what they are selling for here. I would find a new dealer if that is what they want for one.

If you are in canada we have a premium model also that looks like an S with 160hp engine and is about $28000

oh sorry .. the 37000 includes tax and freight, PDI, etc..

 

Since you live in Canada, I would NOT recommend getting one (yet), unless you have another car to drive all winter.

There are no fender linings on the front wheels - meaning that all the snow, salt, slush, mud, rocks, ice, etc. thrown up by the front wheels will build up and work itself all the way into the engine bay.

I give the car a lifespan of about two winters where I live (New Hampshire). I'm waiting until next year when they come with fender linings due to all the complaints.

I noticed that too and thought it was very odd. You can see right through the front end of the car. I have no idea why they would omit those. Hey, I'm all for weight reduction but that's a bit extreme!

 

I'm not sure, but I think the new civics are all like that as well.

Being much more of an all-around car driven by clue-bags, I'm sure we'll start hearing reports of breakdowns caused by debris jammed into the engine bay.

On the other hand, if you live in a climate where you don't get snow, I bet it's great for getting cool air in and out from under the hood. That and the minor weight savings.

I suppose there is the possibility that the canadian models have the proper fender linings. Honda's done that before - offering winter features standard on canadian models that aren't available in the U.S. If that's the case I would seriously consider making the 3 hour trip to Montreal to buy my RSX. Of course, the nearest Acura dealership is about 1.5 hours away anyway, so it wouldn't be all that much farther. I don't know about import taxes & all that crap, though.

All I know is sure would be nice to have the heated seats in my prelude . . . . . it's a long winter. A better rear defroster certainly would help as well. The stock one is pretty wussy.

 

37K............ WHAT???

Man go to another dealer!!!! I've paid 30K+900$ for all the shipping/prep!

Plus 2 Quebec taxes... Grand total: 35 700$

And I guess Alberta has lower taxes! Quebec taxes total: 15.56%

Shop around my friend!

 

31900 was the sticker on the car which i think include pdi,block heater, etc..
