Drove this last night, I put 7 miles on the car. Nice improvement over my 00 GT Wagon. Only used less then 3/4 throttle because car had 12 miles on it. Lots of power, handles much better, very little body roll, quicker steering, better brakes, nice ride.

I'm waiting for a black GT Wagon 5-speed. I may step up to the Limited but not sure it's worth the extra $$$$. It may take a few weeks until the dealers on the north east get one.

 

Cool. I'm still waiting for my local dealer to call me when they have one in stock. How were the seats? And yeah, about the limited vs. non-limited... how was the leather and sunroof, and climate control?

 

I drove a Limited wagon last night with the automatic. Found out that the limit on the tires is pretty low. It was not to hard to get the car to understear. I was in manual mode using the upshift buttons. I came through a left hand bend in 3rd and just after the transition into the rightbend (S curves) I gave it some throttle. I could feel the car push as I entered to apex. Nothing bad but enough to get my attention. I was using may be 3/4 throttle.

The seats feel good a bit frimer more like my 1992 Civic Si. In fact the seating position and feel, feel more like the civic. If you have owned one you'll know what I'm talking about. Everythings feels right.

The sun roof is pretty cool large opening. The tilt feature is nice. I enjoyed driving around with the roof open. I like the sunroof in my 00' too. But the 05' is just cooler. The climit control I turned off because it was a beautiful evening 70 F. I think it will be a nice feature but not one of the major selling points for me.

 

I would think the seats were different in the 92Si's The new Subby seats are a vast improvement. Got to run...

 

Yes the car does have nice pull. I have found the gears to be longer then my 00'. I have heard talk on other forum's about how much turbo's like longer gears. It's true. This car is fun to drive even in first gear around parking lots at Sears and Home Depot.

BlingBlingBlue. I drove my 92 Si into work today. I would say the seats in the Subby are a bit firmer. The Civic and I go back a long way, I bought it new Aug 28 1992. It now has 216WHP, it's turboed. The Civics' seat still feel like they wrap around me. I have sat in my nieces 2002 SI and those seats are fantastic. You can tell it's a Honda, it has a lot of the feel of the 92 even better.

My son and a friends daughter both say the 05 GT has a much better passenger seat. They both have spent lots of time in that seat in my 00' GT.
