want to buy a new civic any known problems with 09 si's?

i am looking at either buying a new 2009 civic si coupe at the beginning of the 2010. i am wondering if there are any known problems with the si or recalls? or if there are going to be any changes to the 2010 si? more torque hp or leather idk? thanks for the help. also does anyone think they will EVER bring the type r to the states? i would love to get one lol

Re: want to buy a new civic any known problems with 09 si's?

there's no recall or TSB on manual trans for 09 SI's yet....with hybrid CRX replacement introduced, honda will likely go with hybrid or gas saving civic than typr R version...

but the radio display peeling is most common among 09 SI's....and 2010 will not have any changes besides the valve cover being different....i forgot the color that's it....09 was minor change...

If you take care of it properly you can expect a lot more than that from it.
