Just received by new NBP Si Sedan

desmo · 01-19-2008, 04:12 PM

Hey everyone,

I picked up my brand new black Si Sedan yesterday night from Mississauga Honda. Right off the bad, one of the most fun cars that i have ever driven, break in is going to be rough. Comparing it to my old RSX, it handles much much sharper, while the steering is more accurate but also a bit light. Grip levels and understeer are also tons better, surprisingly. Power wise, what a change! And not to mention the sound. One thing that bugs me though is the ridiculous automatic lock, it almost screwed me over already. In my X5 it took two pulls of the door lever to unlock and open the door from the inside. Either way, Im about as happy as I can be about the way it looks, drives and feels. Compared to the GTI, which I was seriously considering, it is a lot more nimble and gives much better feedback from the road, while also being a lot cheaper. Ill post pics when I get my camera.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Ill definately try to make it out for the meet on the 25th. And yes, I know pics are pretty much required. heres a couple from my crappy iphone cam. Ill have to take some time and get some good ones with a quality cam. BTW, whats everyones favourite dealer? i had bad experiences with BMW and Acura (I hate sherway acura), so Im wondering what you guys found. And right now im already trying to keep myself from getting an intake and headers to compliment a Hondata, but to be honest Im not sure about corrupting my warrantee.
