Agreed with the possible upside-down trade value the dealer will pitch your way.
But is the 06 better than the 05, Hell yes.
More parts for a k20 motor than a d17.
Go for it, If they give you a hard time and your not getting the deal you want, just tell them this:
"Either I get the deal I want or I walk, Either way I'm leaving here in a Honda"

Rep Power: 0 One of the big reasons that i wanted to do this is because my car as you already know has no options what so ever and it doesnt even have that much after market that i can find anyways. I was also thinking about just trading up to an 05 LX or EX would that be better or worse?

Rep Power: 321 I say don't do it and wait and save up for the Si, either that or just go for the Si now if you can, K20 pwns our ***! 06 Si's are new wave and not many people have it.

Rep Power: 321 From 100 hp to 200 hp is gonna be a huge difference! If he thinks its slow, then turbo or supercharge it. Thats whats fun about cars, you don't like them, buy a new one and do w/e you want to it, don't like it, trade it off. Also you say many adults don't drive an 05, well true, but most adults that work 40+ hours a week could afford and 06 Honda, most adults i know that work 40+ are drive newer cars but more expensive ones. There 03 is still worth more than our 05 and 06's so to say that most adult don't drive an 05 you need to watch what you say, hell i could buy a 06 Cobalt for the same price i paid for my 02 Honda.

There is alot that i do want to do to it like exhaust, headers if i can (i cant find any) carbon hood and maybe trunk and suspension and also rims and a lip kit should look pretty sweet and i doubt it will be as slow after that. Not much faster but not as slow.
Thanks alot for all the input guys i really appreciate it.

Rep Power: 321 umm i'm sorry to say but your car is gonna be just as slow as the day you bought it still, all that crap isn't gonna improve but 2-3 hp, and your not gonna be able to tell. Only way is to turbo your car.

Rep Power: 0 Well yeah i know that. But ill make it sound a little better and look a little better. What would have to be done for me to turbo my car? Because from what i know you cant do it on a stock engine unless it has forged internals and i dont think my car has that.

Oh really i didnt even know that. I might go in that direction then i dont know right now. All i do know is is that i do want to make my car look and then save money for a turbo. And im not going to buy a new car just so i can turbo it if i can turbo the car i already have.

Rep Power: 260 first thing you should do is shave the dx off the back, itll make you feel better b/c people dont know you have the slowest of the slow anymore...
