Hey all!
This is my official post about my new Civic Sedan Touring that I finally received last Sunday.
Brief Story
Thanks to Civic X I was super informed when it came to checking this car out in person and going to buy it. I spoke with 5 different dealers around where I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, all of which gave me pretty high quotes with hardly any price reduction on parts or the vehicle itself. To add to not giving much wiggle room, the dealers near where I live couldn't get their hands on a White Orchid Pearl Touring with Ivory interior and weren't really going to try to place an order or trade for me. So, over Thanksgiving when I went home to visit my family in Madison, WI, I went to my family's preferred dealer, Zimbrick on Fish Hatchery, where we have purchased multiple Hondas in the past. They gave me a better quote than any of the dealers in California and even beat my target price - putting it just on par with what I wanted with the shipping costs included. So, I went ahead, bought the touring back home, had the accessories put on there, and then had it shipped via Gran Turismo Motorsports (great shipping company) to me in California. I've had it for a week and I absolutely love it. The handling is great - especially on turns as people have talked about here. I've found if you pop it into sport mode, you can get some pretty instantaneous acceleration and really get the car moving with that turbo intake. After a week of driving it, my average MPG just keeps going up, right now I'm at 34mpg - most of the time when driving the meter shows me in the 40's range. I'll update with more official numbers the more I've driven it. Anyways - I'm sure I'll post more info about my drive as time progresses, but feel free to comment or ask questions about it! Happy driving!
Oh, also, I signed the memo of my check "Civic X". Hopefully you guys get a kick out of that
