And if you want an SI for instance and we are not allocated any SI's then you have to wait until next month to order it! It is kind of crazy!

I would go LX, that is what I did, I am using the extra I would have paid for and EX to do really nice sound system, 18 in wheels, plus a few other upgrades. It just turned out better for me.

Ah ok thanks.

i also thought the ex came with....

four wheel disc brakes
350 watt stereo system
moon roof
stearing wheel controls
trunk pop
and one or two more things i believe.. i'm not sure..

i too was going to get the LX after i found out the dealership i went to didn't have any Si's on the lot so i looked at the LX and figured id save a good amount of money getting it. then i got in the EX and i liked it a little more.. if i wasn't going to fast i might as well have some creature comforts like moonroof. honestly i think you might be able to get the EX for cheaper if you start to talk with the salesman.. i did at least.. for 2k more i think its worth it when you think about it. even if you think you MIGHT want the moonroof and the safety of having 4 wheel disc brakes, get it.. its more of a hastle down the road if you say i should have gotten those things and want them installed now.. its too much a pain in the ass to get a moonroof installed and converting the brakes, just get them to begin with...
if you can afford them that is...

good luck with your decision, keep us posted

I'm glad I went with the EX over any of the other civic models. If the SI came in Royal Blue I would have considered that. But I love the moonroof, the bigger stock stereo and the look and performance of the rear disc brakes.

I ended up getting a black on black civic EX. I paid 19800 drive out. Ill post some pics in the morning.
