    Many people are trying to decide which one to buy.
    I just sold a 2001 v6 ex coupe with ram air greddy catback etc. I got a si
    civic 2006 after driving the v6 standard speed accord (2006) The sound
    system with nav and sat radio sounds way better in the smaller si. The
    accord is fast but not much fun to drive because it still handles like any
    accord. My si hangs sharp turns at speeds that the accord could not handle.
    I am 71 and used to build hot rods and fast cars. The si is one of the best
    cars I have ever driven. It hits 8300 very fast so one must hit second fast.
    I installed the ground effect package and fog lights, I am ordering a super
    charger and turbo, I may keep the super charger because for city driving the
    charger kicks butt faster and it needs no cool down time. The only thing
    about the accord, it makes a good sleeper at the stop light. The rake of the
    si windscreen is outstanding.When ever you buy a new car clear the computer
    and let it idle for ten minutes and then train the cpu for your type of
    driving. I also sold a tc scion but the tc cannot compare with the honda
    si. I have had every si from 1987 to this one. This car will stay with me
    util I die or wreck it. If I wreck it I will get another one. Women love
    civics but many are really giddy over the new si. Get one today. Some of you
    will laugh but if I ever get next to your car, you will be left as I speed
    shift without using the clutch pedal. I learned many years ago how to do it
    and not harm the trans.

    I was similarly impressed with the Civic SI, albeit a very short test drive.
    The handling & performance seemed on a par with my Prelude, although I think
    given the suspension set-up the Prelude, the handling aspect would be in the
    Prelude's favor overall. Your reference to supercharging, plus a "turbo"
    was beyond comprehension to me. And, if you ever miss a shift with your
    clutchless approach to driving, I would hate to see the result.
