Default nitpicking on the 06

reason's why i'd want an 06:

cuz it's new and shiny and the blue isn't bad, but it's not an "exotic" looking blue.

steering wheels is a slight improvment.


reason's i wouldn't (no offense to people who just bought 06s):

honda darkened the entire interior by making the center console and radio door dark gray.blk. takes away the interior highlights.

the texture of the seats are not too nice, imo. looks very not sporty and it's all over the seat.

the new headrests are so hard that it hurts my head. it also leans in towards the front so it's not comfortable at all. no silver inserts on the back of the headrest either.

the passenger seat doesn't recline past almost a vertical slope. can't lay back and see the sky. the driver's still moves, but it stops only a little after the passenger's does.

the placement of the defrost button is bad, althought i don't know where else you could put it.

Sat in one but haven't driven one. Roomier than my '03 to sit in, but I think I prefer the tighter earlier cockpit. The way I drive I'd rattle around in the '06..

would the roll-hoop speakers fit a 00 with a stock stereo?
