any insight on which car is a better buy or lease?

Expect to pay full price for the Si and be put on a waiting list unless you decide to take a car that is in the showroom. Also lease and finance rates are going to be high.

Absense of that toxic new virgin car smell.

As for comparing the 2, since neither has test car that I can try, I can only comment on the look.

Seen the Eclipse in person. I don't particularly like that big round ass. I drive an Altima 3.5SE switching from a Civic. I can tell you that no matter how much power that V6 can pump out, you are still driving a nose heavy FWD car. I truly missed the light weight Civic especially around corners.

And GT would have a $10K price tag over the Civic, so my biased choice would be the Civic if you can live the that dash.

What's the rush?

Yes plus pdi/freight and gst = $29,950. They really have no reason to pay your GST at this time.

just got into a new place, I have a good offer on the explorer limited, and with running from office to office, I could really use a break on the $100 to $150 of gas per week

Selling @ MSRP is consider good. Some are selling it with extra expensive "accesories" attached, way over $30K by the time it's out the door.

I only consider it good if it's out the door. I this case you'd be paying 15% of the car's value in fees and taxes.

def_3 I think all honda dealers would be around the same price with the new civic. Try T&T honda, "stevieo" works there, he could help you with a quote I think.

cms 06 civic SI, 27570 + gst

block heater, mud guards, floor mats + 5yr/100,000km oil/filter service if done at cms/t and t honda price also includes pdi frieght air/tire tax. but expect a wait list dealers are only getting 1 or so si per month:eek:

and this is 'stevieo' thanks aleks, im on my cousins account.

Dont look to save money in vehicle pricing, thats very hard to so with such small markup and with such low priced vehicles. Where you want to do your dealings is in the business office and try and score the lowest interest rate possible, get freebies or adds ons etc. Thats where youll see the most benefit.

Stay away from Crawfoot. They are so far from website's MSRP, it's scary.

Has anyone can confirm a saleman's story about Honda raising MSRP across all line of Civic? Smell like BS to me.

[carzcraz]

With the 2006 Civic, expect to take delivery of the vehicle in February or March.

We went to look and test drive one at Crowfoot a week ago, and was told that they would not be expecting one until around that time.

I would also stay away from Crowfoot Honda if at all possible, we have dealt with them on numerous occassions and they have all been horrible experiences....both in their sales and service departments.

However, if you are desperate to pick up an 06 Si ASAP, there was an orangy/maroony (not sure what that color is called) one in the showroom back up for sale. Apparently the previous buyer was denied financing.

Good luck either way

:thumbsup:

[gokuu]

On Jan 3rd Honda Canada increased its Civic pricing accross the board.
