Don't worry about it being in its first production year.

I agree with that. It is a Honda product and they do not make crappy vehicles. When the 01 Civics came out, I think the only major flaw they had was with the front struts failing prematurly. Even if some bugs do appar, the car is under warranty.

Congrats anyway. Why di you get the Sedan if I may ask? What colour and options? The wife and I are still debating on an EX or an SI.

I was told by the Leasing Manager at Image Honda that the dealers have not been told exactly how much the Si will be, but somewhere around $25 to $27. She also told me that there will also only be 5000 made for Canada. The EX is only $23 and thats why I like it. The Si will be a sweet car, but I just bought a house and can't afford it.

if i was planning and playing with this car i would have waited and gotten the SI, but this is straight commuter winter car. the LX gets 50mpg and thats more important than 197hp when im driving 100km to work
