That was the odometer on the new 06 civic si that I had the pleasure of driving this afternoon. The first one that I seen in the tidewater area.

Silver in color, great stock exhaust, engine sounds, awesome interior....

Only thing I didnt really like was the drive by wire system in the car.

Other than that I would own one if I had the extra money. 20k on the sticker

gear

yeah if im not mistaken, a few companies are already working on 'freshening up' the drive by wire system.

yea that Drive by wire stinks, stock. My dads 05 Roush Mustang has it and it sux for shifting. when u let off the gas to shift, the revs stay up a little longer. but once my dad gets the blower and the tune in it, you can tune the throttle lag right out of it.

those 06 civics are pretty nice, I'd buy one as a DD

I really like these cars as well, but never driven one.

James: did they feel like an rsx-s at all? or was it completely different?

Fobby

better then the rsx-s imo
just the throttle sucked i would shift and let go of gas and it would still rev up some before i would up shift, lsd was good ....it did have a stock shift light in the top gauge area

The lag on a drive by wire system is mili-seconds. How can ya'll feel it?

Fobby

it was promident on the lag seriously

JKim

If you are refereing to VW's drive by wire...

its definatly noticeable.

Corey

Like I said, the lag is miliseconds. Are you honestly telling me you can tell miliseconds? I've driven plenty of drive by wire cars.

Corey

Prominent? I wouldn't expect it to be that bad.

Did any of the magazines that gave it "Car of the Year" touch on this?

EDIT: My point is that people are told that there is "lag". Their mind is tricked into thinking it's there. Slop in a throttle cable can give the same feeling...
