getting rid of the el for 2003 sir?
found a nice sir with the oem body kit and 17" hfp rims.
its ebony black with around 87,000km on it.
its a lease return at honda. previous owner was 51 male so i doubt beat on it.
i know it has a stock k20a3 which is decent.
what issues does this car have?
asking price is bit high though
$15,200

weak motor and suspension were on the forefront of complaints....imo..that car never deserved the SIR badge but to each its own. you will find it a bit smaller moving from an EL and dont expect a hugh power gain since the motor doesnt have lot of torque.
when i say weak motor...im arguably comparing it with the type-r, s and si couterparts.

looks are subjective...people's opinion on them are useless..
the motor was the same as the RSX base, CSX, etc...it moves fine, but isn't the quickest motor around (or even in that series or motors)...I wouldn't call it super slow...definitely more torque then a B16
it weighted about a 144lbs more then the EK style Civic it replaced...not that much heavier, but noticeable...

I liked SiR_YO's SiR but, he had a lot of mods done to it....and I mean a lot. I definitely has a lot of potential but, you're right, the price tag seems a little high. Message SiR_YO and ask him. He also works for a Honda dealership so he might be able to help you in that area if you're looking for a car new or used. Here's a picture of what it looked like...
