O maaan, thats a pretty big step down IMO. At least you'll enjoy not paying for as much gas.

i didn't really like the idea of driving a civic either however after actually getting inside and driving it, completely sold me over. 30mpg city, 38hwy can't really complain about that either. the car feels a lot more sporty and responsive in handling compared to the max but the power is just not simply there going from a 3.5 to a 1.8sohc. Probably be one of the biggest things i will miss. other than that honda has really stepped up their game in terms of all the standard options being offered now.

Good luck with the new ride. You should have went for the SI though, IMO.

the EX is cheaper, better gas mileage, and i like the blue dash vs the red in the si. Plus the Si looks a bit ricey to me with the wing and all.
