Hi guys,

I'm in the market for a sweet hatch, and came across the Honda Civic Si L (leather). It's a great car to drive, and love the look, but I've never had much to do with Honda*–*and so hoped I could ask you all for some assistance? I'll just pop them in numbered questions to make it easier.

1. How long has the Civic Si been available? Is it nearing the end of it's lifecycle in the current shape/interior?
2. How is the audio? I test drove, but forgot to check the sound system.
3. Is the honda bluetooth system worth installing?
4. Do you miss not having the paddles / tiptronic like other similarly priced hatches?
5. Is there anything else I should know or check before jumping in?

I've talked to two dealerships, and the best i've had so far is the following:

NSW: New MY10 Honda Civic Si L (leather/luxury) in Crystal Black (on the lot - ready to go).
- Automatic transmission
- Drive-away price (on road costs)
- Premium Plates
- Tinted Windows
- Floor Mats
For $33,000

Do you think it can be pushed a little harder? Or is that deal about as far as it can go?

Many thanks for any help in advance
