trying to talk my wife into trading n her explorer for the si..she wants something good on gas b/c of the way gas prices keep goin up so i told her i'll give her my ex its good on gas and we'll trade hers n for the si...hope she goes 4 it wish me luck

 

i hate to be the bearer of bad newz but the Si requires premium gasoline.

if your wife has a lead foot, she may not be saving that much in the long run.

and I'm pretty certain that your car insurance will rise because the Si costs a lot to insure.

make sure you do some research first... and then say phukit, i'm getting the si anyway. lol.

 

How nice of you to give her your EX while you push the Si. J/k... Good luck man hope it works out for you.

 

i think the extra little bit of money for gas will be worth it...haha, i bet you had a bit part in her getting rid of the truck, now you get a si!

 

as in the new si?

 

yep as n the new 2006 si...

 

You have the 06 ex, why didn't you get the si then?
Anyways good choice. You will like it.

 

The 06 SI doesn't really get that good gas milage, like 20 MPG. But go for it cause those cars kick ***.

 

My last average was 27.8 with bout 60% highway and I get down on it pretty often and shifting around 4000-4500 rpms, that was on my last fillup. It is rated at 23 city which I haven't checked but I have checked strictly highway and got 34.5, it is rated at 35. That was at about 2000 miles and now have over 8300. If I drove it more conservatively then it would have gotten better.

 

how about you give her the EX for gas milage and get the Si for yoursel as a toy/DD? an air intake and an exhaust will put you into consistant 14s easy.
