Re: 2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan

Giannis: Very good point. From my initial impression, I felt very comfortable with the steering and it actually immediately felt like second nature. So if I had to assume, I'd say it shouldn't be bothersome on long drives, but to be 100% I'd have to try it first hand. If I ever end up getting one I'll be sure to let you know.

As for the instrument layout, I really must commend Honda on try to pull something original and it really does feel as if you were in a fighter jet cockpit. Some might find that very cool, and futuristic. But I'm a die hard old school person, give me two round dials any day of the week.

Osna: I fully understand your choice of transmission. With a manual car, stop and go traffic can become really frustrating and you'd lose pleasure in shitting gears yourself for sure.
In my case, I've been wanting a manual car ever since I started driving. And that close ratio 6 speed is just magic! Yet again, Honda should have offered a DSG-like alternative. I'm pretty sure Honda is fully aware of this and that something is in the works

Cheers guys
