Soon to be Owner Checking In...

[keto06]

Hello everyone!

I am a longtime Honda afficionado and recent came across this car. I have experimented with small turbo 4 cylinder engines before (mainly turbo 5 speed civics and integras) and done plenty of tuning for power&MPGs but the Sonic Turbo does everything I tried to do, and MORE!

So many of the reviews, here and elsewhere, on this car is great, and thats before I stumbled into the forum from Bad News Racing and the Trifecta Tune!

Anyway, I am going to the dealership tomorrow to look into a Orange LT Sedan Turbo. Its pretty much the only 6 speed in town! I really wanted a black sedan or HB with no options, but this Orange one (the only other color I would have gotten) has only the connectivity kit (which was also the only option I considered).

If nothing else I may continue my search for a little while longer, but there isnt much doubt in my mind I will be an owner soon enough.

Welcome to the forum. Dont rush yourself on your Sonic. Get what you want to you arent kicking yourself in the ass later down the road.

I would test drive it and then order what you want.

Welcome!

Welcome to the forum! Good luck with your choice.

Welcome... and I suspect you will love the car. I kinda wish mine was orange, but alas it is my wife's daily driver and she is not a fan of the orange.

I love my inferno orange!

Okay so went and test drove one today. Definitely glad I went!

Ive decided I want a Hatch. I compared the two side and side and made the decision. And they have one locally too! Its got the Pewter Interior, and I really want a black on black one, so they are gonna try and source one! Sucks that the hatches are more expensive though...They said invoice was 16813 I think for the LT Hatch Turbo. No other options.

I might see if I can find one with the connectivity package too as the Sedan I drove today had it and I think thats what I want! And my girlfriend totally approves, though convinced me to walk&wait.

Where are you located? Maybe I can help find one for you.

I love the connectivity package in the ltz , i like the sedan but everyone has different likes

Connectivity is really nice. Ipod / iphone functionality is very smooth with it. Just my .02. Wait and get what you want the first go round.
