Default Traded in my S2000 and my 97 hatch

...for a 2005 Civic SI.
I love this car. Its like the perfect blend of both of my previous cars! Great handling, good power and speed. I can't wait to do a few mods!

As long as your happy. I know you must like the cargo space.

I would probably rather have the roadster though.

i think you made a good choice .. it's obvious you needed a everyday kinda car .. maybe cause of fam? it would've been nice to keep the s2k but sometimes you gotta down grade a bit to better suit your everyday lifestyle .. maybe one day you'll be able to have an s2k :goodjob:

Hey, the s2k was great, and a lot of people on the forums hail it as the king Honda, but it was time for a change. Its like having a really hot girlfriend, but after a while, you figure out that the looks and performance just arent fulfilling anymore. BUT, I had a freakin blast with it. Had it for three years, drove the crap out of it, got lots of stares, and the honey-babies love it. But after a while, the road noise, lack of space, and tire expense just got old. I'm ready for something faster, and bigger. Since I am a Honda fan, for now, I'm really happy with the SI.
My ek was another story. Whew! Had fun tinkering with it and modifying it, but I'm not exactly sad to see it go.

I woulda got an RSX -S. I was gonna buy the S2000, but opted for the Rex instead because I don't like 2 seaters. But that's just my opinion I guess.

Went with silver. I can't stand the high maintenance of black, and white or blue just didn't appeal to me. Plus, I'm planning on doing some gunmetal or black wheels, maybe a cf hood, basically a silver/black theme. I love what some of the members have done with their ep3's. I'm anxious to get started on mine.

I checked into the RSX, but went with the cargo space of the SI. I haul around band equipment a lot, so it was a necessity. I prefer the look of a well tuned SI over the RSX, too. Plus, after driving it for a while, I LOVE the shifter position of the SI. Its like a rally car, its so easy to shift and get your hand back on the wheel where it should be.
