Hello fellow Honda fans! ...Been reading the forums for a while - really would like to hear some of your thoughts on this: I've been driving my 1998 Honda Prelude since I bought it brand new and have honestly been trying to replace it for years and literally unable to find a car I like better, and that includes a few Accord Coupes, Audi A5, Cadillac ATS Coupe and most recently Ford Focus ST. Regardless of more power, luxury, etc, I think the Prelude is superior due to it's go-kart like handling, low-to-the-ground profile & seating position, super-smooth drivetrain (even after 17 yrs!), and recently at the top of my list, super-heavy self-centring hydraulic steering (only car that came close with EPS was the Focus) and LACK OF UNNECESSARY DRIVER/SAFETY AIDS.
I am really hoping to be able to replace my '98 Lude with the 2016 Civic Coupe Si - here are the make or break items for me - what do you guys think the odds are that the Coupe Si will hit these marks?
Ideally, my '16 Civic Coupe Si will feature:

Ideally, my '16 Civic Coupe Si will feature:
- Manual gearshift of course!
- Dimensions & weight comparable to 5G Prelude
- Sunroof
- Heavy self-centring steering
- Ability to say NO to all Honda Sensing - not only don`t I need it, the camera blocks out a big chunk of windshield (at least on the 2015 Accord Coupe!)
- Ability to get the top-of-the-line stereo without having to get Honda Sensing suite with it
- Available Black leather seats - if I have to have cloth, gotta be ALL BLACK - not everyone likes red or thinks it is particularly `sporty`, and definitely no Ivory leather for me
- Piano Black interior trim - carbon fibre is so passé, lame, and plain unattractive
- Decent wheels
