So I have come to a conclusion. The Civic Si is the car I want and I am willing to pay the insurance premium for the next 3 years in order to have one.

The dilemma I am now faced with is whether or not I want the same colour. I had a Nighthawk Black Pearl and while it did look awesome while clean, the scratches started appearing quite quickly and noticeable even after only 3 months of ownership.

I prefer to deal with Richmond Honda because they treated me well, are close to home and they said they would give me the same deal as last time without any hassle. They currently have 2x NHBP, 1x FBP, 1x GG, 1x Red, all Si's. I asked and the fleet manager is trying to get me a TW to look at or find where one is.

So now I need all of your help! What colour do you have? What do you like about it? What do you hate about it? Do you wish you owned a different colour? Any and all opinions welcome.

Thanks

well since you already had a black one, i don't know if i would go for the same color again. black is nice like you said, but just when it's clean, and plus in the summer it gets really really hot. i have a FBP and i love it, when it's clean it's siick, i mean u can see the little pearl things, and it's really shiny, and also, dirt is a little easier to hide that with a black one. have you looked at the habanero red pearl, that's also a really nice color, especially in the coupe.

Hells no push for TW. All of the Honda Civics I've owned are TW since '98. I won't buy another color when it comes to a Honda for me. My wife on the other hand has a SSM Fit Sport. For me it's just something to do with white Hondas that I feel is the only proper color. I harp on my wife constantly about her not waiting for a white Fit Sport. Especially now that the fact the Fit will not come in white anymore.

TW is for JDM wannabees ;-)
If you haven't already got a look at the options in person. Do that and the choice will reveal itself

HRP is not available in Canada anymore. Was a 2006 color only. I think I got the only one...

If I had to buy another Si, it would be Tafetta White. Although I would really really really miss my Fiji.

Don't let these photos sway your decision :lildevil:

Fiji is the sexiest color I have ever seen, its like a custom metallice paint for those hot rods

You can't be far wrong. I can only remember seeing 2 since I got my Si in March and I figure I've seen more blacks then any of the others.

Sound advice

When I looked at the Neutron Blue in the brochure, I didn't really like it, but the one I test drove was the same colour, and once I saw it in person, my opinion changed in an instant!

Ya my original 'top 3' and what it was once I managed to see them all in person definitely changed. Like neutron for a coupe and don't see as many as silver/grey/white/black.

Hardly.
I never even seen a Fiji Blue. I pre-ordered and when they told me that my car arrived, I instantly fell in love with it. I turned down a RR Si and ASM Si.
