I just put a deposit down for a 2013 Honda Si Sedan in white. It's being built tomorrow and I should receive it sometime in the end of the month. This will be my first Honda. I'm excited to join the community and hope to have a good experience with Honda.
First Car. 1985 Chevy P/U, SC/SB. Blew the motor due to a tranny and rear end that needed to be replaced. No pics. I was excited to simply be able to drive. Truck sucked overall in performance. Truck was a constant head turner though. It was candy red, lowered, shaved, ect. It sounded good too with a 350. 8 MPG baby.
Next. 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2WD. Nothing special, I just enjoyed being able to drive in High School. My mom end up getting it because she totaled her car. No pics.
Next. 1992 Chevy 1/2 ton P/U work truck, SC/SB. Blessed to have a vehicle at the time. No pics. Surprised it still ran due to all the off roading I did in it. I beat this truck hard in the country.
Next. Traded the Chevy in for a 2005 Ford F-150 STX. Nothing fancy, but I loved the truck. It got me through College. Rear end kept leaking oil.

Thing was still crazy slow. I don't think I won a race.
Next. I got a decent job and got a 2010 Toyota Tundra TRD Sport 2wd double cab. It was a beast for such a heavy truck. Rear suspension was horrible. Bounced like crazy with no weight. Gas peddle was too sensitive. Averaged 12 MPG.

Next, I wanted to go exploring and off roading. 2011 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X. Amazing stock off road performance. The rear locker made huge difference. It still amazes me the places we took it. I got rid of it because you pay when you play. I had to replace a lot of parts due to off roading. MPG sucked and the rear suspension road like crap on the road. Many reports of a weak front diff.
Mods
Deaver leaf springs and bump stop

Rain guards

Next I had to get a more fuel efficient car due to marrying my wife, having two kids, buying a house and buying her a car. 2012 VW 2012 Golf TDI. I love getting 45MPG on the highway and the torque. Overall I loved this car. I had to get rid of it due to it being a 2 door. Pain in the *** loading the kids and items. I just always loved how hatchbacks look. I'm 5-06 and never liked the seating position. Nice interior. You get a lot of bang for the buck. I've read of concerns about the DPF filter. I didn't want to risk it. VW maintenance/repairs is expensive.

After test driving several cars (Focus ST, WRX, GTI, ect.) I decided to give Honda a shot. I wanted something reliable, decent on MPG, be able to carry the family when the wife's SUV wasn't available and somewhat fun to drive.
I'm looking forward to being a Honda owner and the community.
Thanks.
