Hey Parks, no rush, when you
Hey Parks, no rush, when you have a mo, Why do you not like the, "Lane watch", curious? I like it, particularly on the highway.
The wheel design is growing on me. It was not one of my favorite design elements, but I am warming up to them. If they hold up and they look to be a pretty high quality wheel, I'll be happy with them, (my experience in the past with Honda wheels has been very good). Size wise they are just right. The extra tire on the SI is definitely noticeable, both visually, (fill the wheel well nicely) and when driving. Also, minor point, they are easy to clean. Just a matter of personal taste.
I do not notice any throttle lag on mine, I do experience the, "Rev hang" from time to time, which is no big deal, but noticeable on occasion, (seems to be getting a bit less pronounced as I put some miles on the car).
The only nits I have is an oil gauge would be nice, (I personally can do without it, but a car with "sporty" intentions, that is probably going to be revved quite high on a regular basis should have an oil gauge). I do not like the fact that it has no temp. gauge. I think it was lost when Honda added the rev warning/ V-Tec gauge, (I like this feature) where the temp gauge used to be. They should have kept the Temp gauge as well. Minor gripes, especially when you consider what you do get at a very attractive price. Speaking of price, in my last go round buying, I came across this, "One price our best price, no haggle" policy many dealers seem to be adopting, I HATE IT. I bought my SI from a dealer that was willing to negotiate and got a FAR better price than any of the, "No haggle" prices offered in my area.
