Finally!

[TommyD]

Been on the site for almost a year with no 8th. On Saturday I finally got to trade in my S2000 for a brand new Taffy Si Sedan. Nobody had Nav and I wanted to get the car before the finance deal was over, got 4.9% for 60, which I think is a really good rate. I love the car and I at least got the color I wanted. It handles very well for FWD, and the clutch action is great. It's so nice to have so much room. After I sold my Ridgeline last summer I've been driving the S2k as a DD. I'm 6'2" and it got old quick. I bought that car as a weekend car not as a DD. Between fuel prices, and prices of new cars I think the Si in either form is one of the best bang for the buck autos on the market. I will be putting in one of the Pioneer Nav units with all the extras before too long. I will post pics later today. I am at the dealership doing a rim swap. The car I bought had 18" HFP wheels on it when I bought it on Saturday, and the service department was closed so here I am today doing the swap (going back to stock). I told them if they wanted me to keep the rims and not worry about it I'd be game but they weren't having it.

I'm 6'2 as well and i sat in a s2000 in the dealer showroom and it was so uncomfortable. I felt so cramped inside.

Glad you got the tw si sedan. I got the same car as well.

Nice congrats.......if you live close to VA I can do the rim swap for you

i am 6'3 and have zero trouble in the s2k

I am 6'1" but seem to have long legs. I sat in an S2000 and couldn't use the pedals. My knees would stop me from moving my legs. I couldn't find a way to move the steering column and neither could the salesman.

I love the Si! Have fun with it!

Out with the old:



In with the new:



I had to sell both of these last year





But I just found out Honda is going to make a new Vtwin for next year and I'm I have to wait until my salesman gets back from Vacation on Thursday so I can put down a deposit.

The Sedan is my 4th civic and 11th Honda. My days of getting a new ride every 2 years are done. It was fun while it lasted.

I really dig the car, it's sweet. After reading all the clutch stories I was pleasantly surprised by the clutch engagement. I could see upgrading the suspension down the road but I'm pretty happy with the deal right now.

Cheers.

Too bad the s2000s interior wasnt big enough for you. IMHO I would've kept with the S, but that's just me... hope you have fun with your purchase

Well I have plans for the next gen NSX. Probably won't be able to pick one up the first year but I've got my eyes on the prize

Congrats on the 8th. But I must say, the RC51 ! That or a CBR1000RR Repsol edition. Enjoy the Si!
