<OLD STUFF BELOW THIS LINE>
====================================================
Newest member of the Honda family here. I picked up this (new) Civic Si Sedan on September 27th after looking at it and driving it two weeks beforehand. Its quite likely the last '08 Si Sedan that was available in the area seeing as the 2009's are coming in weekly. The color is Galaxy Gray Metallic, which is no longer available after 2008
Specs:
197hp, 139ft-lb 2.0L I4 engine (with VTEC YO)
Close ratio six-speed manual
Limited Slip Differential (anyone know how many ways? 1, 1.5?)
0-60mph in 6.7s, ~140mph top speed according to online sources.
In Si Spec, the Civic is pretty much loaded. The only major options are for navigation, foglights, a sport muffler, and various interior accessories like any other car (all weather mats, trunk tray, cargo net, and so forth). This one came from the factory with just splash guards as the sole option, and the dealer put a red pinstripe on. I added foglights, all weather floor mats, and a trunk tray upon delivery. I just received all of those Friday and as promised, took a couple of photos after a very thorough washing. Clay bar, wax, the works.
Sorry that these are all from the iPhone so far. I'm going to get our camera out sometime to get some better quality ones.
At the dealer on September 6th, the first time we viewed the car. The dealership was closed so all we could do was look.
Parked at college on September 30th, then a couple night shots on the way home that day. I'll be revisiting that spot with the camera soon for it to look nice.
Today, after being barred and waxed. Not that you can tell from these pictures.
And a few close shots I was toying with for an iPhone welcome screen. The third one is what I ended up using.
Thats about it for now. I'll add some sort of review shortly. Until then, please feel free to ask any questions.
