However having just taken delivery of my new Civic Sport (our high end civic here in Aust) I have to totally aggree with the vision problems. Having replaced an Accord with this Civic my only major complaint is the fact that the Accord, despite it's size, was easier to park. I'll be taking my RX7 anywhere I go where I might be reverse parallel parking. Other than that, however, the new Civic is a fantastic car. To put you in the picture, the Sport here in Australia has the 2lt K20 engine much like the Si, however it's been detuned to 114kw leaving more low end torque and eliminating the torque steer issues you mentioned above. It unfortunately misses out on the 6spd manual and gets a 5spd instead. Other than that it's a 4 door sedan with leather trim, a sunroof, 16" alloys with 205x55mm tyres and an unusually fast electronically assisted steering rack. With it's engine tuned for low RPM torque it makes for a great small sports sedan that is comfortable cruising on freeways and highways, fun in the twisty bits yet composed and self assured around the city. I just wish Honda had used the 6spd gearbox found mated to the K20 in the Integra Type S (equivalent of the American Acura RSX).
