Hey all, My name is Steve and I'm working on buying a new Civic Si sedan to replace my '07 Legacy Spec.B as my daily driver since I now have a commute (just bought a house further out of town). My Subaru only gets 20mpg which won't cut it, so I wanted something that was going get awesome mpg but not suck to drive. The Si seems to be the best bang for the buck. Now, this won't be my first Honda, I've had 7 throughout the years. 2 Civics, 2 Integras, 2 Accords, and a Del Sol, ha ha. The only other make I've had more of is Nissan (I still have 2 of those), so I'm not terribly brand loyal (I prefer Japanese in general though), but I just like good cars.
Anyways, enough of that, I've never bought a new car before, so I had a few questions for those that have. All the dealers in my area (Phoenix Metro) seem to bring in complete bare bones cars. I'd prefer to option mine out a bit (including all the aero add-ons), will I have to order a seperate car or can I grab a car they already have and they just install the options I want? For those that ordered a car, what was the typical wait time? And the main question, Rally Red or Aegean Blue? Anyone know the production numbers by color?
I can never leave any car alone, so I'll do general mods to the car (suspension, brakes, wheels, good tires, and exhaust), but I need to keep the MPG up so I won't get too crazy (plus I don't want to void the warranty). Most of the mods I'll do will be catered to hit the local time attack series for when my race car is down, which is what the Legacy currently does. Pretty excited to finally get a new car for the first time, I figure I should do it once in my life at least.
