Sad to say in the Philippines we always get the trimmed down version of what you guys get there...

I played around a little with the Navi on a 4 door when I got back from test driving.
It it awesome, you push a button on the steering wheel and say the name of a street and it points you right their. Its kinda like having a better version of mapqust in you car. It will tell you when your approacing your next turn. The con I've heard about are sunshine glare, and it mixed in with the radio, but I dont see a problem there. I would rather not get lost than have the music interupted. Just me opinion.

I test drove an LX the other day, didnt like it that much, compaired to driving my 04 Si every day, the LX 4door suspension was real soft, lost of body roll, but a better ride quality than my Si. I floored it, I could feel the car shake...oops probably shouldn't have dont than it only had about 20 miles on it...The dash is not as bad as I thought it would be.

I got a Sedan/Hybrid brochure, if no one else scans it in I will tomorrow.

Attached is a pic out of Import Tuner.

The Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with voice recognition is available in the Ex and Si.

The systems "brain" is an 8.0-gigabyte DVD database consisting of maps and more than 7 million points of interests-like ATM's and restaurants. Enter a destination, and voice prompts guide you while turn-by-turn directions are shown on a customizable 6.5-inch LCD touch-screen display.

Navi-equipped models get a digital audio-card reader to play your downloaded music files. The LCD screen displays your folder and playlists for easy selection!

The XM Satellite Radio is standard with the Navi system. You get over 150 channels, plus traffic and weather in many major U.S. cities. ALL music channels are commercial-free!!

Thinking about getting it with navi?
