ive been looking for a si auto forever now and am tired of this. i constantly see very nice s models.

what do yall think about a s model as a daily driver/commuter for college.

please vote and explain

The S is fine for a DD, but the problem I've seen with the cars you post that are S, is that they want way to much money for them.

Get like a 95 and up it has more options:
Redisigned targa top seals
Anti-Lock Brakes (VTEC model) 2,522 base weight now
Power Locks
Remote Trunk Release
New seat materials
Low Fuel light
and i think cruise control...the locks become a bitch on my 94 until i bought a keyless remote sytem off ebay

The S would be my choice...or a Civic H, or V, or whatever
they call the cheepest/gas-miserly. Maybe it's "HV"?
EDIT: "HX"?

I have been finding tons of del sols cheap, from 1500 to 2000 on average, i'd do as much as $3000 for that blue one, it is an SI, the guy just dont know...

Power steering came on the S's with automatics, I know cause I have one, and the spoiler is an option, my si doesn't have one my S did. That one is a S look in the back rims you can see drum brakes.

both my sols didn't come with a spoiler.

but I would get an s if it were just going to be my dd to and from college. better on gas...but I believe I always got decent gas mileage so I would be more inclined to get an si. unless I wasn't able to find one and all I could find was an s, then yeah...I would go for it.

not yet. I thought you got rid of it already

I just bought an 04 dakota. So if you still got it around the end of jan begining of feb, I should have more than enough to buy it off you. how much are you wanting to get for it again?

ByonSho · 11-10-2007, 01:57 AM

I wanted to sell it by the end of this month for $2200 as no paint. But by feb I may have another for you.
