I'm thinking of buying a Honda Civic SI. As a designer, I feel an obligation to buy a black one, but something deep inside me wants a white one?
What color should I get?

Polished Metal Metallic. They look dope

- gunmetal.

my friend (coincidentally, a designer) had a white one. it was pretty nice, albeit a bit egg like :)

Redline Orange Pearl

The Redline Orange Pearl and Dyno Blue Pearl are officially off the table.
- Fine. Be boring.TheBlueOne
- Pictures evidence that these cars can look cool might make me change my mind though.MikeDubs
- I'll get pulled over all day with an orange SI.MikeDubs

Just saying white is soooo hot:

- looks like G35 wheels.akrokdesign
- white isn't what's making the car look cool.. its all the aftermarket stuff.rainman

They are pretty cool, but still remind me of something a teenager would drive. Check out the new GTI that will come out in the fall.

- the '10s look just like the '09s.
why did they kill the vr6? and are the still making the r32?lvl_13 - why make a 4 door GTi? The 1st time I saw one I thought someone put new emblems on a Golf.fooler2
- like the kids that think putting an "R" sticker on there hondas make them go fasterfooler2

are manuals cheaper than automatics in the states ?
- yes********
- yeswrong
- Yes, they are the base model usually. If you get something like a 6spd GTI, it's not the case.MSTRPLN
- Not always, some now charge extra for a manual and auto is standard. See Dodge Challenger for example.ETM
- Dodge Challenger with auto. lol.akrokdesign
- yes

are autos more popular?
- yes, unless it's a sports car********
- yes, automatics are most of marketbukka

to be honest, its truly a great car stock... the seats are super comfortable, overall I love the car... you thinking of sedan or coupe? I have a sedan, the coupes looked too small and space ship like to me...
- MikeDubs0
Yeah I think the sedan is the way to go.

For that money, you can get a apple computer

NICE. I have a 2003 black Civic Si. I love it. My girlfriend doesn't.
- Manual, btw. The shifter is really fun in this model.kult
- WHy doesn't your girlfriend like it.
MikeDubs - She either can't drive a stick or he has a ricer muffler on it, lol.ETM
- isnt the stick in the middle of the dash? looks strange to me.fooler2
- yeah, the designer ran out of ink so there you go. its stuck in the dash. lol.akrokdesign

Get white, its the best color on the SI (my opinion)
I have a silver RSX and I don't like it, its dull and boring.Black is tricky, I had a black GTI for a while and I loved it but keeping it clean was very difficult. Also any chips on the front will show up big time.
Plus you can choose so many nice colored wheels for a white car, especially the SI.

Ahhh the classic Rice Rocket, brings back shameful memories of my teens.
- sherm0
get it in black with black or gun metal rims.

You will not be disappointed in the Civic Si. I have the 4 door in white. Best car I have ever owned hands down and I have owned a lot.
- lookin' good. nice wheels.akrokdesign
- thats hotfooler2

- my lights aren't stock either. those are canadian lights.moveinspace
- those Canadian lights can fry some serious bacon. sweet. lol.akrokdesign
