Default got my new SI... its OK.

Well, I got my new Si the other day. Its not as powerful as I thought it would be but the interior is great and it corners alot better than I expected. All around nice car... just wish it had a bit more pep. I have a supercharged Corolla and had a handful of mustangs so I guess Im still comparing them. Full circle back to the Civic. They will always get you, hahah. VTEC sounds great though

so I guess you people want torque for burnouts? because if you have a light car with decent hp, it's going to be pretty quick.

Just get I/H/E/high flow cat.....or turbo/E/high flow cat, get the cylinder heads ported, just the good stuff lol

Ever since I watched a Roadfly (I Think thats the name) clip on youtube showing the 07 Si's features and performance. I've just been drooling over the thought of getting one... but it's not going to be for awhile :P

I think it's the best performance/econo package out there. They claim 30 mpg highway but could be hype. You should post what kind of mileage your getting with it. Once you break it in and all

i've had my 2008 for two weeks now, and I've filled it up 3 times...

first tank: 25.1mpg
second tank: 26.8mpg
third tank: 29.1mpg

that's with me not getting into VTEC too often, and spending about 30 minutes a day in sub 15mph bumper to bumper traffic. I typically shift at 3500rpm in first, then at around 3200rpm in the rest, and when cruising, go about 70mph. Total, I just passed 700 miles.

lol, I think polo's got a fairly decent grasp on the whole modding thing.

Congrats on the purchase man, hope it treats you well
