the accord is quicker. the MT accord runs about 14.6 . the auto accord runs about 15.1. so the SI would be a drivers race against the auto accord.

 

where did you get those numbers? they aren't the ones I am finding.

 

not for a stock car, anyway

 

Got these numbers from Car and Driver. Bone stock/no mods. Just look in the back of any C and D mag and they are listed along with about 200 or so other cars. Oh, one little mistake ...the V6 Accord coupe stick runs a 14.5 not 14.6 as I stated earlier. sorry....h:

 

just so we are both on the same page here and we are talking about the same cars. Here is the 1/4 times taken from Car & Driver:

99/00 Civic SI - 15.7

06 Honda Accord V6 stick - 14.5

06 Honda Civic si - 15.1

06 Honda Accord V6 auto - 15.1

 

that is interesting......the accord would only take regular unleaded, but the extra mpg of the SI would offset that cost.....which cheaper to insure?.....about the same to buy.....

Si Styles (MSRP: $21,090 - $23,040) 23/32

LX V-6 Styles (MSRP: $25,200) Invoice $22,706 20/29

 

I'd rather have an Accord V6 any day. You can get one of those with the 6MT right?...

It'd be nice to drive an SI for a little while though. Too bad they'll probably be hard to get.

 

yeah, the accord comes with a 6 speed. and yes, the Si is hard to get. here in wichita the dealership got 8 for 2006- and I waited 3 months and had no choice as to what color I got (unless I wanted to wait longer... luckily, the one up for me was red, and I wasn't going to complain). The waiting list for 2007 is past december 07 at this dealership.
Norman, OK got between 5 and 7 for 2006. I don't know how it was elsewhere.

 

there are three honda dealers in richmond, va

the one closest to me has had a white 2dr si for about 3wks now, another has two 2dr and one 4dr, and the third dealer has three 4dr and one 2dr.

 

EXACTLY!
