drove through half of SC today to Stokes Honda to test drive and potentially buy an Si. 2011, 26k miles, minty clean, cool color. i mean perfect. best one on the east coast as far as i could tell, and i've looked non-stop for a week.
love how they drive. i mean its a go-kart, except its also reliable and roomy. keeps asking you to send it to that 8200 rpm scream. shifter feels like a rifle bolt. calms right down when you put it in 5th or 6th at highway speeds (both gears are overdrive). super neutral around off-ramps. with just a decent set of performance tires i can tell already that you could absolutely fly on a good hilly road.
battled on the price for 2 hours. went through 4 salesmen and 2 finance officers. i was locked onto this thing like a pitbull. they wouldn't come down enough. had to walk. drove my defeated ass over to a Moe's to drown my tears into a burrito full of saturated fat and then 3 hours home in a flooding storm trying to figure out what to do next.
