I say RSX-S.
But if its between the RSX-S and the Civic Si Sedan, get the Si sedan. Si coupes look like ass to me.

well chris at least you have a sedan, my friend has the coupe and im not really fond of how the rear looks on it

The SI is a nice car but i just like the Acura's classic design, the civic is from the "modern era" design of cars which is okay but i like classic design more, cleaner. Though if my dad would have gotten me a TW Si sedan then i'd have trouble picking!

I like the RSX too, it just comes off as more of a sports car to me than the Civic.

i think the sedans look so much more cleaner than the coupes.
the coupes look wayy to long
idk the rear is too big, not very attractive for a civic.
si sedan > rsx-s

I have a 06 Si coupe and I love it. Its even better with HFP suspension. As for the Type S I always wanted one. I was looking at both when I bought the Si. I went with the Si because I found a clean one with 6k miles for a good price.

there has been a lot of talk about which one LOOKS better, but i'm assuming that if he wants the most go, he must go with the dc5.


even with an lsd though, the si, be it sedan or otherwise, is not THAT much better around corners.

(do you research, and stop telling me about how your si feels better around corners or how your buddy this or you best friend that. if you have done no instrumented testing, zip it.)

having said that, yes, the si is technically 'better' because of the lsd, but its something that can be rectified.

the rsx has a lot more mods available though, current si's are like our fits: most of the practical performance is through bolt on parts and reflashes, not custom parts, or upgraded ecu tuning.

the interior on both is nice, with a slight lean to the rsx.

and only one is built in totally in japan. (i'll be the first to tell you that it does not really mean anything, but just in case he wanted to know.)
