Thanks, Rowdy. Same 160 HP VTEC engine that the civic Si has. Very smooth ride. Honda quality.

Oh, BTW. The best part, qualified for 1.9% APR for up to 60 months. Took 36 and very little down. Couldn't pass it up but had to fight for that price. They had 16 left over E's and had to move them. Buyer's market at the end of the year.

I drove one yesterday at work, and realized how practical they really can be.
I would actually recommend it over a Scion XB because it has more power and is bigger, (along with the water resistant interior etc..).

Liked the XB, but not big enough and does not have the room with the seats folded down.

Street racing is stupid. That is why I have never even bothered to attend an "event". That and the fact that I'm in the military. Can't be setting a bad example for the youngins.

Why take the chance on losing your car or getting a fat ticket... where's the rush in that. Going to the track and getting time slips right there gives you bragging rights..

As for me.. my next mod is a INJEN Intercooler... maybe with the Intercooler chiller kit..

Yeah, it looks like *** but it's functional and cheap. Got a demo with 1500 miles, blue, auto, 4WD for 16900. Stickered at 19500. Invoice is 18,200. No abuse, clean. Left over '04.

Has steelies so I need wheels and head unit at first, then painting the plastic body panels to match. Like driving a bus, but slower . No, not bad. It goes, but no quick passing manuevers and speeding tix.

The back seats fold up against the sides of the truck to leave the whole floor open and has plenty of cargo space. Has a rubber floor, no carpets and stain proof and waterproof seats, suicide back doors, sky roof that comes off and full time 4WD. Not a bad price.

I'll take it to the track and run a 21 in the quarter

After driving that around a few days makes you appreciate the Evo. I forgot how amazing the Evos brakes and handling are compared to what most people drive on the streets. I'll never give it up unless I go broke.

You know who to come see when you need wheels.

Great price on the E. I still love Hondas for their reliability. Like you said though, I'm spoiled now too after driving the Evo everyday that I can't even think about having to drive something else.

We were about to be new car owners this week as well....until we drove out to the dealership and the exact car Jeremy wanted was driving away! We were so pissed! Drove all the way out there for nuthin. Maybe it's not meant to be right now. We are gonna take a look out in Cali when we're there next week. I've check inventory at other dealers out there and they have just what we're looking for. I just hope they are still there when we get there! We'll see....

Thanks, Allie. I will be putting wheels on the E very soon. I hate the steelies but not paying extra 2500 for the EX model with wheels, cruise and stereo. I could put better aftermarket stuff on it for less.

Man, driving this thing makes you drive like a normal person You just can't be bad in it. My tires and brakes will last forever

It's fun to drive and has gazillions of headroom and cubic space and my dog loves it. He slept in it while I was washing it and I had to take him for a ride. He wouldn't get out

Tons of accessories and aftermarket for it. Oh, no, the mod bug bites again
