Was their only coupe in stock. Through my credit union I paid $400 over invoice for $18,563. Will post pictures soon even though I'm sure you guys know what a GG EX looks like. This forum helped me tremendously in the research of the car in the week leading up to this. Keep up the good work and keep talking!

how did u get ur car for 400 over invoice when teh msrp is 18,460? did u even know what the msrp on teh car was? or was 18,563 total out teh door?

Invoice price is $17,613 + $550 destination = $18,163.

MSRP is $19,260 for the automatic. $18,460 for the manual. I have the automatic.

First post here but I'm not a newbie to the car scene. Been building up and modding my rides since I was 15, over 30 years now.

Here are some pix of my Alabaster Silver '06 LX sedan, 5-speed manual. Bought it mostly for the great gas mileage at first, but have really grown to love the way it looks and drives.

I seriously considered buying the Si, but I wanted gas mileage and needed the extra room of the 4-door sedan (I am an 'old guy' afterall), plus I have other performance cars to drive If I feel the need for speed. The LX runs great with 140 HP, very satisfied and will be keeping the car's drivetrain bone-stock.

My Dad had a new Civic back in '74, I was beating around in it in '76 whenever my own car wasn't running. At the time I was driving '57 VW Bug with a 1756cc/twin-40mm Weber carbed engine that ran 14.30s at 92 MPH in the 1/4, quicker than a new Si. A year later when I was 18 I upgraded to 1835ccs and 48mm Webers and a better cam, 13.70s at 97 MPH was the result. I'm not new to 4-cylinder performance but I did it with 'old-school' air-cooled German cars 'back in the day'.

I was always impressed with how well the '74 Civic performed for a 4-speed 1237cc car (52 HP), handled good too even with the little 155-12 tires. It wasn't hard to make the decision buy my own new Civic 32 years after my Dad bought his.

Here are some shots with the stock 16x6.5" steel wheels/caps and some with my new gold-painted 18X8" O.Z. Ultraleggera wheels with 225/40s. I just installed them last night (the only mod I'll be doing to it), the car has 1950 miles on it now since taking delivery on 2-20-06.

Yeah, probably the only other thing I'm considering doing to it. Otherwise there's nothing like leaving one completely stock and reliable, I've had so many hot rods that it's nice to leave just one of my rides pretty much as the factory intended.

Actually I have only one car that I've left completely untouched, a 2002 WS6 Trans Am convertible. My new Honda has aftermarket rims so I guess you could consider it 'lightly modded'. I really just wanted it to handle a bit better since sometimes while driving it I think I'm still in the T/A with its factory 275/40-17s on 17X9" wheels, at least around the corners in the canyon roads I commute through.

Got it last month. I really enjoy the navigation system, and the redesigned interior and exterior. It looks a more grown up than the last civic.

05 Civic Si shift knob, I really didn't like the stock one. I tried out the skunk2 shift knob, but it sat too low on the shifter.
