i like the si's too, but too expensive (too new i guess, lol) my integra is worth more than i paid for it, retails for about $8,000 and i got it for $6,000. If i wanted the 1999 deep blue civic si that i saw and test drove, i woulda just turned around and sold my car and bought the civic. i really didnt care about which one was faster, which one looks better, but i did care about how each one drove and which one was for me. my sister owns a civic (haha, im not puttin u civicers down or ne thing), and the way it drives is not my style. lol, but if it fits u, then thatz great man. ur gaining in money, which means that ull own an even better car in the future. good luck w. the Si and let me know what u do to it.
