2006 Honda Civic Si: Oversized Hanger Hooks


The majority of cars have small hooks in back that can be used to hold clothes hangers. While they're fine for a single hanger (hanging up your suit jacket while driving, for instance), I've often found them to be inadequately small for holding a bundle of clothes picked up at a dry cleaners. Our Honda Civic Si, however, bucks the trend. Its hooks flip down from a recessed position and are big enough to hold four or five hangers without a problem...
This simple convenience feature is a good example of Honda's typically smart and enjoyable approach to interior design.

Ingenious. See, these are the types of details you never read about in article-type reviews. Love these blogs - keep em coming. Only bad thing is - now I feel like buying a new Civic Si...

Well I guess you can but the Si's, escpecially with nav are hard to come by and seem to be marked up quite a bit over the base Si's. So the Si sedan shouldnt be any different. With the dealers and Honda its more of a take or leave it situation. I know people who have ordered Si with nav last year and just now getting them.

To be honest I think the navi is a bit of a waste of money. If you look at the added cost (about $1800) vs the cost of an aftermarket system (half the price even in the mid/high end). Then if you get a new car, go on a roadtrip with a friend, or even in many cases take a walk around a downtown you don't know that gps will be ready to go with you. You can also usually sync with the computer with those for added functionality. Good luck! as always though of course, my theory is get what you want right out the door.
