Im getting a 2012 honda civic si coupe but idk which color to get. The sunburst orange looks awsome but ive never even seen a real picture of it, only the like animated type ones. so if someone could post a picture of an orange one thatd be awsome. or just post your opinion black or orange. and if you have a black one and you wanna post a picture of it thatd be cool too

I have yet to see a real picture of a black SI. The orange does look cool and different, but I'm more a neutral color guy. If I had the choice between an orange and black SI, I'd go with black. But that's just my opinion.

or you can think in terms of how often you wanna wash it....unless you are gonna use a car cover

black cars in general you can always spot the dirt in less than a week

at least with orange you can drive for 2 weeks without looking at dirty =P

lol useless thing to think about but it still applies...


personally i would go orange cause i think it looks bad ass....you dont wanna accidentally blend in with the regular 2012 civics with the black color.

I would NOT buy the orange personally. It is the exact same as the previous gen SOP, and from my experience it looks terrible in person, not like the pictures at all. Looked over an 8th gen Si in SOP last week. Colour preference is intensely personal, but in my opinion the SOP is the worst of the civic colours...

If I were in the market for an Si... I would choose the PMM or Rally Red. So I my choice was black or sunburst... I think I would go Black even though it's more work too keep clean and shiny:)

Black is good but it is too common. Sunburst Orange is okay.

BTW, Rally Red is smokin hott

Honestly it shouldn't matter what we think you should get. It's your car and you're going to be driving it. You won't regret the orange at all, it's an SI. Be happy! And who knows, you may be the only one around you with that color :thumb: Congrats on the new Civic! Definitely post some pictures when you get it!

The SB Orange has flare to it. Its not dull, over bright, and boring like the puke looking orange Ford used on their Mustang's before. Plus if you have crazy blind drivers where you live they'll see the orange better. lol
I think you'll be happy with your choice.

2 years late i know... but dude... orange cannot be beat. Anyone saying another color on here has yet to see the orange si in the sun. I'm sure you have your car at this point and probably have (as i have as well) received hundreds of compliments on how vibrant and unique the color is. Any other orange you see on the road cannot compare.

The SOP is an unique color that's not available in other trims I believe. It was so hard to find a Si when I looked for one and I went to at least 3-4 dealers before I found one and it was in black. Just a heads up, the black is harddddd to maintain. It looks wonderful when it is freshly washed/waxed with a showroom finish, but it becomes so noticeably dusty after a few days of just sitting there. SOP is definitely different and you won't be disappointed!

In my opinion, get orange. It's nice to see colors that people usually don't get it. It'll make yourself stand out more and noticeable. But just like what white_lighting said, the resale value sucks:(
