Hey what made you guys Buy an Si/SiR

IMO, the 92-95 Civic hatchbacks are the best looking Civic model ever as well as one of the best looking hatchbacks ever, along with the Corrado.

It was the first car I ever liked.

Back when I was 12, when I thought driving was lame and a chore, because I didn't know any better, I was building an electric car in my junior high school class.

There was a guy who did conversions for a living, and he was helping us build it.

One day, he drove up in his personal car.

A red 92 hatchback, with the rear seats ripped out and replaced with batteries.

It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen, and I've loved them ever since.

I finally got my dream car.

I've got 2 stories for you...

The Si had been out for about six months, I was just getting into the import scene. I had just picked up a 91 Teg and my gf was looking to unload her 89 Blazer. She had driven through the local Honda dealer lot a few times and spoted the EBP Si. She fell in love with the color. After looking and dreaming for a few weeks we finally took it for a test drive. The first time the car hit the big cam it was all over. We drove home in her new car that day.

My car I had been wanting for about a year. I had swapped in a B16A and done all the bolt on stuff but I was getting tired it. Plus it needed some body work to make it look good again. I had seen a few FBP Si's around and I told the dealer we bought the first Si from to let me know if a black one comes in. I never heard from him. We went to work one day and some idiot had sent a package to the bank we work at and said it had anthrax in it. Of course the building was evacuated. After standing around for a few hours we decided to leave. We picked up out daughter and went for a drive. Just driving through the Honda lot, there it sat. A quick test drive and I had a new car.

Yes thats right we have two 2000 Si's.

Well my story was that I have had bad luck with used cars in the past. I had a 93 Civic Lx that died in the highway in the middle of rush hour. The next day I traded it in for a 1999 Civic EX coupe automatic (first and last auto! ). I wanted to try something different, anyways a couple months down the road I went in for service on my EX. That was the first time I saw and heard of a new Si. I froze in my tracks and was hypnotized by the Electron Blue color. Then I saw the engine DOHC VTEC. I was sooooooo pissed that I didn't hear about this car hitting the streets. I would have gotten it in the first place! From that day I said to myself... "this car will be mine some day." I started seeing them on the streets. Everytime I saw one pass by, I was like damn. Then I discovered SHO.... Oh did that make me want an Si even more. After a year of the Auto Ex I was fed up with it. Why did I get an Auto?! One day I was going to school and there it was. I saw my car sitting in the parking lot of my local Honda dealer. Without hesitation, I pulled in and asked for a test drive. As soon as I left the parking spot, I was already sold. I came back and said I want this car.... and the rest is history.
