Looking to get an SI

Hello all,

I am new to the forum and am looking to get a new SI. We've had Hondas for a while now (96 Civic (sold), 04 Odyssey (sold), 07 Osyssey) and think they are great cars. My mom was looking for a daily driver and I told her to get an 07 Civic and she did and loved it (she got a black LX). I never really paid attention to any other Honda vehicles except the Odyssey, but when we went to pick up her car I saw the SI and was very impressed with it. I think it would be a perfect daily driver for me, fun to drive, not expensive to maintain/buy and it's good on gas; so I am thinking of getting one soon.

The question I have is which color to get, I like silver but my dealer currently only have black or white; he can get a silver but it will likely cost me a bit more. After looking at some of the pictures online I see that the white is also nice. I thought about black (I have another a black car and it is a pin to keep clean) but think it might be hard to maintain especially since it will be a daily driver.

What do you guys think white or black or silver for daily driving duties.

BTW, I am getting the sedan

Thanks

It is a $20k car, so make sure you get the color you really really REALLY want. You are going to regret later on if you did not.

I've got Taffy White, and think it's the sexiest color next to Figi Blue Pearl. For reall though, what the other poster said was right. Somebody is paying upwards of 20 grand for that car, so make sure you get the color you really want. The dealer will find one for you

White, if you're not willing to wait. Silver if you are. I had a white car, and white hides dirt moderately well -- however, that's moot point anyway, YOU will know it's dirty, whether it hides dirt or not. People always say my car looks clean from far away, and I look at 'em like they're made of cheese and pocky because I KNOW it was two or so weeks since I've washed it....

i got a black si....there is no other color lke it when u maintain it, but for a dail driver i would recommend the silver cuz white will also get pretty dirty but the silver is easier to hide the imperfections of the car

Silver is easier

Haha I know what you mean. I washed my car and ten went out for the day and then it came back the same way it was before the wash. But once it's washed and cleaned it looks oh so nice

You should see the way I look at people when I think they're wierd! I like to think it's a cross between my "O" Face, and getting socked in the jugular, with a sprinkling of Leatherface thrown in for good measure.
