I went to the dealer today (Lubbock) and they were selling them at sticker...no markup. I was surprised. They had two in stock...black and silver.

I rather buy an RSX if the dealer is going to raise the price.

we finally got our Si's in Fri morning so after it was preped and gased I was the 2nd person to drive it
the interior is nice I want those seats the shifter is nice out side it looks okay the type R looks 7000 times better though performance wise its allright definatly not worth $19,440 thats what a type R should go for
this car should be the same price as the 99-00 Si
we got that puke color [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] and a white one
the dealer I work for is in Bedfordhills NY if any one wants to see it you can see my ride too
we also have a black 2000 Si out front with 40,000 miles on it

I saw the car last weekend at a local dealership (Toronto Honda). They had the Euro Yello Pearl and a black one. At the time, nobody had bought either of them yet (only 2nd day they had them out on the showroom floor). They are selling at MSRP of $25,500 + 850 freight (CDN$). I'm surprised they didn't mark up the price, but it's already more expensive than the base RSX ($24,000). Someone else already mentioned it, but the local dealerships are getting about 8 each. The shifter wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. It's a little higher, but shouldn't take long to get used to. I usually rest my hand on the shifter though, so that might be a little harder to do. I might actually have to keep my hands on the steering wheel for a change. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I'd probably consider getting this car if only I had a garage, but since I don't have one and have to park my car around the block, I'm pretty sure it'd be stolen/broken into/vandalized within a month. (I hate my neighbourhood!)

I just bought the 02 black si about 2 weeks ago with 12 miles on it. I finally have 700 miles on it, and it has pretty good pick up. When I first got it someone in a 00 si rolled up on me and was racing me but I was just cruising trying to break it in properly. I could tell he was giving it his all, winding out the RPM's. I was thinking " I could take him if I tried, or at least be on par" I think this is a sweet car and the car reviewers for the magazines don't like the new hondas in general, and expected the "si"s to be sports cars. THey are just "sporty" cars quick. I recomend anyone to get this car if they are lookng for a quick, sporty, and head turning car. Honda Rules.

<< I just got back from the dealership here. They got a black SI the other day, so I went over to check it out. Unfortunately, the dealership was CLOSED...at 5 on a saturday....strange, but anyway. I am definitely one of those people that REALLY did NOT like the car before I saw it in person. I think I have changed my mind. It just looks soooo nice. I cannot say anything about how it drives, cause I didn't get a chance yet....but I think Neo did a good job of explaining it for us. If you don't like how the car looks from pictures, I STRONGLY suggest that if you can, go and check it out! >>




ok

I didn't like it when I first saw it either, it looked like a ford focus, but once you see it in person, a focus it definitely is not. This ride is awsome, good setup all the way around for performance and sport. My local dealership has a white one and I am going to test drive it this weekend...

Yeah if I could get a SI decked out like the type-r I would definately think about it, but i'll just wait for the new accord V6 manual to come out and get one of those

I drove one the other day and it didnt impress me at all. The shifter was nice and so were the seats but overall for 20,000 I would say its overpriced and over rated. The car weighs 2750 as compared to our cars that weigh 2550 (ex) and its about the same size, not exactly what I would call a true hatch back.
