Hello Everyone,
I'm new to these forums, not new to Honda...
I've replaced my '94 Civic LX with the 2012 Civic Si (PMM)
Been a member of 9th gen forums for a while, did a Google search on some civic stuff, and found this forum.

Thx, and I think the 9th gen is great.
I test drove the '12 Civic EX before Si's were available in Ontario, I liked it, but it wasn't anything special.. I've been in and seen previous Si versions so I knew that the Si was always a beast of a car compared to the lower models. I watched a few videos on youtube of car magazines testing the Si, and thought it still sounded great so I ordered mine.
I enjoy the car immensely.. lots of power, has pretty sweet sound when punching it (even tho its quieter than previous models), its fast, the interior for the Si model is great.. nice seats (colour & stitching), the dash is great, not too complicated, and I would agree the dash is simpler when being compared to its competitors. I prefer the dash not being crammed with so many lights/dials/*****/screens/etc, because I'd rather just focus on the feel, sound and speed of the car.
I initially ordered it in Sunbrust Orange Pearl.. but after thinking about the attention I may get from the "LOOK AT ME I'M SPEEDING ORANGE!!!" paint colour, I decided to go with more of a sleeper colour. + the wait time to get the SOP Si was going to be months longer.
tl;dr
I think 9th Si is great.
Power, Sound, Speed = fun
Dash is not too crazy.
Polished Metal Metallic is more of a sleeper colour than Sunburst Orange Pearl.
