Default Any "Old Farts" on Here?

newb old fart here. LOVE Hondas. I've had my share of Civics, a CRX and a few Accords. now I'm searching for an 07-08 Civic Si Coupe.

sorry for not 'searching' first, but I'm going shopping this weekend and checking out 3 that I've located. anything special I should look for that is specific to these models?

thanks and see ya around......

thanks everyone and thanks for the info. I've been going back and forth on the Si vs EX Coupe models. from what I've read, the EX 5sp gets better gas mileage than the 6sp Si. maybe I'll just get an EX and put Si wheels on it!

btw, I'm pushing 'double nickels' so even the '40+' guy has a way to go to catch ME!

Wow, that's lame of Honda. And extremely surprising. Usually it seems that Honda fixes stuff like that the right way.
