Help! What kind of civi should I get?
I currently own a VW Jetta with a VR6 engine, front wheel drive, 5 speed manual transmission. I am considering purchasing a Civic due to cost of ownership; however, I am really not wanting to sacrifice my 2.8 liter for a 2.0 or 1.8.
1) what kind of civic should I look into that will have comparable performance?
( I was thinking an Si)
2) what kinds of modifications would be necessary/ affordable for under ~ 3000
that would give me decent acceleration/top speed?

A Si would probably be closest to what you are looking for if you want a Civic, but the insurance is higher than any of the other models! Do you want to do major modifications? If so, turbo that biatch! lol.. otherwise, bolt ons (intake/header/exhaust) will not net a huge amount of extra power.
Just remember:
Fast. Cheap. Reliable.
Pick two

Let me break it down for you.
You want your car fast and cheap, it wont be reliable. (Ex. Ebay turbo kits etc etc)
You want your car cheap and reliable, it wont be fast.
You want you car reliable and fast, it wont be cheap.
That better?

well for $14k you can get yourself a 03-05 S2000 for $14k. And that's with less than 60k miles, I've seen them around 40k miles for that price.
That's just me though.
but if you want a civic I'd go for a 6th gen civic(preferably Si) or a 8th gen Si(4dr version, I think 2DR looks too much like a jelly bean)
and it doesn't matter which of these you get, turbo it if you have $4k extra lying around.
