both are manual 6 speed

The Civic is slower than the Accord but a LOT more fun to drive. If you take it for a test drive, don't forget to "test" the VTEC.

im not into the hole import/racing thing with foreign cars. lol. makes no sense to me, im mainly looking for gas mileage as i will be going to school in plymouth and quincy. living in bridgewater, and working in weymouth..so i deff need something thats nice to drive and good mpg highway... im kinda leaning towards civic beacause of 4 door, it will be alot easier in that to go north in on ski trips i think!

Then don't get the Si. Just get a normal EX or DX. It'll save more gas!

^Exactly, if all you care about is mileage get yourself a Fit

Between the 2 though, the civic will get better mileage and be more fun to drive.

i dont get how a slower car is more fun to drive.. explain this to me....and the reason im looking at the si over the others is because i still want a like umf.. just a little. i can atleast merge onto the highway withought getting crashed into

 

[S197gt07]

Si Sedan = 2950lbs
Accord V6 = 3410lbs

Thats how

My mustang may have more power, but my WRX is a blast to drive because it weighs 300lbs less.

 

[Guido]

Ford Focus for a daily driver here... smokin damn near 35 miles per gallon

Because VTEC.

 

[S197gt07]

And almost a 500lb weight difference

The Si's are a lot of fun to drive and there is a ton of aftermarket support if you wanna go faster. And you'll save gas doing it compared to the Mustang.

Also, I hear 2005-2008 Corollas are cool, some really awesome people used to drive them.

Wasnt the last guy that posted in your car for sale thread interested?

I figured you'd throw that in.

well thats the thing, i am buying a car that i wouldnt want o mod. i dont like the hole rice scene. i just think a nice stock SI would be good for a DD commuter, enough to have fun in. and good gas mileage.. am i right? or am i dreaming! if i was to ever do any thing to it, prolly lower it. and tint windows.. thats it! thats as far rice as i would go

 

[S197gt07]

I think an SI would be a fun DD.

I also think you have the mindset that doing anything to an import is "rice". Billy's old rolla would destroy my car, and it certainly isn't "rice".

You can tastefully mod an import.

But putting on intake on make it scream! All I'm saying is, it's an option. If you want a car you just won't mod and want to do stuff like tint and lowering springs, get a Corolla. It's much harder to mod, you have to customize a lot of engine stuff because nobody makes parts for it. The only parts they do make are the real easy things like intake, exhaust, springs, and whatnot.

I feel like any rice gets cancelled out once you make good power. Especially when you have a 2600lbs car with a tad over 300bhp.

too bad you're looking for a sedan...we have a black Si coupe with stupid low miles

2010 18k miles and $20k to be exact

 

[Wicked Pissah]

This is looking good, can lower my monthly payments almost 100 dollars

 

[S197gt07]

With going to a Si?

 

[Wicked Pissah]

yes, i owe 12K on mustang, they offered 14500 for my car...there asking 15,995 for SI. talked them down to 14500. so i would be taking out 5 year loan for 12K

Better start upping that post count on an Si forum.
