need help deciding between new coupe or si?
i am probably going to get a new coupe or si and i don't kno which one to get. i currently have a 5th gen lude and my girlfriend has thnew coupe. her car seems to get alot of body roll in turns and is really slow. i know the si hs more horsepower but i was wondering how much more and what i could do to make either one as fast as my lude going na. also what can i do to make it handle like my lude.

The new SI is very nice inside, very refined compared to 6th gen civics, very smooth, very quiet ride. Almost too smooth and quiet for me. If I want something like that i'll buy an accord, not a civic. The new SI didn't feel sporty enough for me. I also didn't like the redline, it felt like I had to shift too soon. So with all that in mind, and with it looking like a miniture mini-van, I didn't see the 19,400 dollar price tag to be worth the money.

I would go with the '03 Si. Yeah in stock form the exterior is blant to say the least, but the interior refinements along with the smooth ride and potential in performance I think its a good buy especially now that the dealers are practically throwing them to buyers for nothing. A K20A swap would be a nice way to get that performance up to and exceeding your standards from driving a 5th gen Lude. The aftermarket is growing, and tuned they, look and perform very well.

What your budget? If the RSX-S is within your budget, get it!
