Hey all,
I've been a long time Lexus driver since my very first car. I've decided to move on to try another fellow Japanese car brand that I've secretely wanted to be a part of for a while. I traded in my 2004 Lexus LS430 that had a headgasket failure (super rare for those cars) and got myself a sunburst orange 2012 Civic Si with 126,000 miles on it. I've never consistanly driven a manual transmission so this car has a bit of a learning curve for me, but I welcome that. Defintely going to be taking the bus to work when I can to avoid prematurely wearing out the clutch. I've burnt the clutch a little bit but not too bad and I'm getting better at driving stick every day. I think this car is a good change of pace from paying $65-70 a tank on the Lexus to this car which is about $30-35 a tank. I will admit I'm going to miss all the ameneties the Lexus had, but repairing the Honda is going to be muuuch cheaper. And the Civic has enough for me, once I replace the audio system..
I'm happy to be a part of this community and look forward to growing and learning from you all.
