congrat on the new car you purchase. It must be a bless to be the first to drive the new si because i think it is a great car none the less. How does it feels compare to the s2000? Does it handle similar to the s2000? Great cars you have.

It is a very peppy car and the handling is nice for a front wheel drive car. I am getting used to the torque steer. I am still breaking it in so no Vtec yet. The cars are so different when you drive them back to back. The biggest thing you notice is the clutch. The SI engauges very quickly. The SI has nice low end power as well. Stereo is actually pretty impressive for a honda and the seats are to die for. I would love to take them out and put them in my S. The exhaust note is sweet for a factory exhaust. Styling speaks for itself. I love the body kit too. Passed on the 18 inch wheels though. I did not like them with the Red.

great as far as performance is concerned , but man that car is just not a good looking car (and yes, I know, my ep3 isn't the best looking car stock either).

how is the throttle by wire? transparent or not quite?

You just said my car is not a good looking car. I choose not to answer your question.
