Don't know how to drive an automatic eh? :D

Congrats on the new car. I'm jealous that your car's city mpg is the same as my car's highway mpg, but I wouldn't trade with ya. :D

lol oops, edited it

nice car that is for sure! i am not a fan of hatch backs of any kind however but still a great car. my good friend owns a wrx sti 2005 and made me go check out regular wrx's but they are too simple and of course i was not allowed to test drive one seeing as i can't drive stick

I live in LA and have never complained about driving a manual transmission car, so don't say "everybody" complains about it. And I drive about 20k miles/year, and mostly on the 405, so I know something about rush hour 2 MPH traffic with a manual.

Nice car though. If you could drive a manual would you have gotten the Si?

Looks nice. I hope you enjoy it. I don't like the color scheme though but hey white has its advantages. I drive a black BMW... someone breathes on that car wrong and you can see it afterwards.

well ok not everyone, one of my best friends drives a 2005 subaru wrx sti and he thinks i am crazy for not getting a manual however he rarely drives in traffic he mainly just takes the 118 back and forth. My moms bf lives by LAX and works in the valley so he is on the 405 every day, he bought a 2005 porche 911 twin turbo and the dealer thought he was crazy for choosing the tiptronic instead of the 6 speed manual but he drives in traffic everyday so to each their own. i know i would get sick of it driving back and worth to OC.
howevever yes if i could drive manual AND i enjoyed it there would have been no reason not to get the si.

heh yeah the white is fine except i am starting to get road/asfault dust on the rear end especially above the bumper, below the license plate, and the side wheel wells. i bought the mr clean car cleaning gun/filter kit thing today lol so i can rinse if off often without having to dry

Nice! I'm doing the legwork trying to get my mother-in-law a 2007 Civic sedan right now. Good choice on the color, so much easier to maintain than a dark car. My dark car days are done, I don't need the stress.
