Haby red was my first choice also but I didn't want to wait and my dealer had a Silver one come in and it looked great to me so I nabbed it
They are fun cars and don't worry about the E-Brake rubbing against your leg unless you are 350 lbs and 6'6" you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
I am 6'2" and 250lbs and my leg doesn't even come close to the E-brake.
It's just how some people are sitting in their cars.
Overall a very comfortable car for me and fun to drive. Why wait for an 07 if you can have a killer deal on a 06? If you can find them. They are very rare. When I called around this area nobody had any Si's and the dealer that I got it just had this car come in 2 days ago and I snatched it from him.
