2003 Si
Excellent car, fun to drive. Not the quickest of its class (spec v, cooper s, RSX) but responds well to modifications, if speed is your thing. Excellent build quality for such an inexpensive car. City mpg is outstanding(almost 30), thanks to the improved iVtec system.
Excellent commuter vehicle
Owned it for last 2 years - no problems. Easy comfy ride for a commuter car. Very fuel-efficient.
Sweet EX Sedan
I bought the EX Sedan in July of 2003. The Car has been a fantastic buy. I put zero down and could sell it for more than I owe. The only complaints would be: more headroom, sunroof eats up a bit, bigger trunk, my '89 Mazda 323 had WAY more, put better tires on it from the factory, the Firestones only lasted 31,000 miles and were VERY noisy, Goodyear Assurance's fixed ALL tire concerns. The great things are: great build quality, great mileage (38.5 highway), resale value, longevity, etc. I will run it 'til it has 200 to 300k on it and still get a good price for it. Great commuter and traveler car. Obviously not for 5 people, but have done 3 adults, 2 dog crates, luggage & got 38 mpg.
Amazing car!
We just purchased our Si. We also looked at Mini and VW GTI. This car is far and away the best value of the three, arguably the best built, most likely the most reliable, and an absolute hoot to drive.
Transmission
Make sure to check transmission every 25,000 miles. Mine went out at 140,000 Mi. Honda doesn't stock them one week to a month to get a replacement. They do not rebuild CVT transmissions, $3,000.00 to replace and $375.00 shipping. Front struts also go out easily.
