We're a Honda household. I daily a 2007 Civic Si 6-speed. My wife drives a 2014 CR-V. We have the old 2007 Pilot in reserve for hauling stuff and driving in the snow.

My choice of car says I'm frugal and practical. (With the Civic being an Si model I guess maybe a bit impractical too. I didn't seek out the Si, though. I got it cheap and we both love driving manual transmission cars.)

How many miles are on the SI? That's the coolest SI year the USA ever got (in my opinion.)

There's nothing wrong with being frugal and practical.

I would not call a car that gets 30+mpg impractical. I'm sure your insurance might be a bit higher depending on where you are because a lot of people rice them out and race/wreck them. I don't really think honda has sold an impractical car in the USA since the s2000.

The Si has almost 200,000 miles.

What's odd about the 2007 model? I'm not steeped in Honda lore, so for me it's mainly "just a car". I do really enjoy the 6-speed transmission.

I wish they still made the S2000 (or that used S2000's were attainable). My wife had family with an S2000 and she got to drive it some. She assures me I'd enjoy it very much. Honda makes a nice car.
