I just bought an '07 Civic Si Coupe w/Navi last Friday, and wanted to start a discussion on this exact model/type. I hear alot of issues with the '06 and even some '07's, so lets talk about issues, likes, dislikes, buying/leasing experiences, etc.
Lets make this the official 2006-2007 Civic Si Coupe forum!
I had a very hard time finding an '07 Civic Si Coupe w/Navi here in Colorado. There was only one available in the state, and I got it, whew! Anyone else have a hard time finding one just like this?
I use to have an '05 S2000 and loved it! I decided to trade it in last year in Feb. for an '06 Acura TL w/Navi for practicality reasons, snow driving, etc.
The Acura was a great car, but I got the itch again for something a bit more sporty, fun to drive, so I compromised and went for the Civic Si. Its been less than a week that I've had it, but so far the car is awesome! What a great compromise, lets see how many others out there can join in on this forum...

As far as problems go, i have not heard about to many, its a honda so thats to be expected.
One gripe i have heard off is a stiff-ish shifter, but for the most part, people agree that this is one of the best sticks honda has ever offered.
Then there is the drive by wire delay that seems to only be a huge deal for cluth it yourself people.
And then the occasional person who buys the si thinking its the fastest thing ever, and has no idea about honda's take on a performance vehicle.
I love it.
the si coupe is great......
(crickets in the distance...)
i suppose i just need someone to converse with now?
but it is a neat car, I still like them and envy those who have them. As long as you don't think it is The Fastest Car in the World.....
anyway.. get a Si coupe, there awesome. oh yea, when you hit 6k rpm, its like a turbo kicks in and puts you back in your seat with a absolutely perfect vtec sound that just wants you to keep your foot on the peddle. loads of fun
good luck to ya
The car is beautiful, in & out, and handles like you wouldn't believe. I love it!!!!
Btw, I asked this in the mpg forum, but what kind of gas mileage are you guys getting from your Si's? I'm still trying to decide between getting the Si and an Ex. If I could get 27 mpg when I really wanted to by driving lightly, I'd definitely get the Si.
Since new, the worst tank of gas got a high 26 mpg. The best, 32 mpg.
I was looking at the short ram intake too, but too me that doesnt look as efficient since its sucking in air right next to the engine, im sure its much better to be sucking in cold air from down below.
Do wish the tank held a couple more gallons though. We easily put 300+ miles on in five days.
You'd need to divide the number of gallons pumped into the miles driven.
In my experience with my dad's 07 Civic EX, the low-fuel light didn't come on until about 1 bar left, and after that, it wasn't close to empty yet.
Revving to 4,000 RPM isn't exactly "driving easy" although cruising at 60 MPH is. The question is, if it was all highway miles, where was it your shift points were "under 5,000 rpm?" Just merging, or was some other driving involved?
Really a great car. A trip to drive in the mountains here.
Thanks
