it seems like you're leaning toward the EX because u don't care about speed, that's what i told myself when i bought my car. but have you ever driven a stock civic EX? they're slow as hell.. it's almost depressing how you can look at all the cars next to you on the road and realize that you're in the slowest one. if you have the money to get an Si or GSR, get it! i'd personally take a GSR over an Si because of looks as well as speed.
