THIS IS ONE OF THE SEXIEST CARS I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!
Soooo, today my wife and I went to one of the top Honda dealerships in our area (Honda of Tyson's Corner) and got extremely intimate w/ the 16' Civic. Upon arrival, I had a MSM EX w/ Sensing waiting outside the door with my name literally on it! We were given a full tour of the car- roughly 20 minutes and then our salesman said, "ok- see you guys in an hour!" We were free to take the car wherever, so we toured for a while down Leesburg Pike (7) and then got on I-495N towards MD and cruised up 270N before turning back and heading to the dealership. First impressions:
(The car is for my wife, will be her weekend vehicle as she takes Metro to work everyday)
1. Wife driving, but feedback of the driver experience is that it is incredibly smooth!
2. Passenger seat, extremely comfortable! I'm 6'1" and felt extremely comfy!!!!
3. Also sat in the rear seats and again, extremely comfortable!!!!!
4. Sound system completely blew me away, does not require you to crank it up like previous Honda models I've been in!
Anywho- we went back inside to discuss numbers and was brought out their "generic" worksheet, which I was told had Honda's money factor and residual value built in. I had the residual value sheet with me on my iPad (16' Civic Lease sheet) and they indeed had the same 65% residual value based off of 39 months and 12k miles per year. The money factor is interesting, we were told that Honda's current standard money factor is 0.00199, which equates to roughly 4.7% APR!! In a way this is VERY HIGH! Look at the attached sheets, you'll see that w/ $0 money down, the EX w/ Sensing is $338 a month!
To make a long story short, we got all of the information and are currently deciding on Lease vs Buy, because the payments would be roughly the same and value of the car is going to be the same also because it wont be driven a lot. I bought a 15' Camry XSE black on black back in the summer so we're more so looking to lease vs buy, but with a higher money factor like this it opens our eyes to other options. This is the standard money factor they are offering, so there is currently nothing lower available- at least thats why their Honda finance guy said.
Another note, we also test drove the EX-L 1.5L Turbo and that is the model we will be getting. The turbo engine is flat out amazing! Also, the leather seats...wow....yesss, get the EX-L if you are seeking ultimate comfort!!! It's more pricey though, but not by a lot..it'd be like $10 more per month on the lease side of things.
