Default Got my 05 Suzuka Blue

I picked up my Suzuka Blue on Friday. I have been dreaming of this car for the last 4 years. At first I was apprehensive about getting it due to the lack of trunk space, but fortunately it was just large enough for me to carry my stuff. I've grown to like the Suzuka Blue but still have not gotten over the blue interior. The dealer only had black as the other color.

So far I put in a little over 130 miles on it. It's already been an adventurous 100+ miles. Suffered a bit of hyperthermia from driving with the top down, the heat index was over 100 degs. Had an older man gave me the finger when I gave him a warning honk when he was too aggressive in trying to make a left turn when I was approaching at less than 200ft away and going 45 mph. Lastly I also got caught in a passing shower with the top down. I still like the car.

Congrats! Four years is a long time to wait.
Suzuka Blue's an interesting color. Depending on the light, it can look silver, gray, or even purple. I like the blue interior and I bet it will grow on you.
Trunk space is actually good. The Honda engineers made the most of it with that depression in the middle. The tool shelf is removable. Take it out, wrap your tools in a towel, and you'll get a bit more space. It makes a difference.

Enjoy your new ride!

Congratulations. Although the S is a beautiful car in any color, each color has it's own following, I picked Susuka and have never been sorry. Not only is it a great sports car, but, in my mind, ranks as a work-of-art. I think the blue interior enhances the look of the Suzuka and you will appreciate it even more when you notice the difference in temperature between the black and blue interior surfaces on some hot Summer afternoon. Enjoy your S. This site can provide a wealth of info about the car and, for me, has multiplied the enjoyment of driving my S.
