Hey everyone, I just bought a black lx coupe with the six speed manual. it should be here in about a day, cant wait. I am also a Mazda guy, having owned an '03 protege5 for about a year. All my awesome mechanical skills come from that car breaking and me fixing. Glad to finally have a Honda, that vtec tho.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on getting a black LX. Always liked how these look in darker colors so I would say that's a good choice.

How do you like the handling and get up and go of the Civic compared to your Mazda's? Apparently those Mazda's are good in those areas.

thanks! and I haven't picked it up yet, as it is at a different dealer that's kinda far, so I've only gotten in a frustrating test drive of the sedan in traffic, but once I get it I will let you know. oh and just for the sake of comparison it is important I say that the Mazda is pretty well modified compared to stock, nothing to crazy tho.

You're moving from a hatchback to a coupe? Or will you be keeping the 03 protege5?
