thats true marty the accord has a great motor and it would beat the ex civic believe me i ran the **** out of it and i wasn't impressed. the accord is heavy but it runs decent keeping the accord and spending the money i was going to use for the trade in for doing some mods to the accord would proboly pay off in the long run

If you can't find an Si, i would have to agree that the next best thing would be a RSX Type-S. Or a used S2k.

Personally, I'd keep the reliable, payed off car for a while and dump some money into a project. How come you're looking to trade up?

i've owned the new civic EX coupe, taught my friend how to drive a stick shift in a new RSX and also test driven new civic Sis.

here's my two shillings:

civic EX coupes are amazing for being an "economy" car. they're actually a lot better than accords in my opinion (my wife had an 04 accord before getting a new civic EX sedan). handles great, great gas mileage, high insurance.


acura RSXs are pretty damm sexy. great handling, decent acceleration, super high insurance. basically a civic EX with better handling and better looks.

civic sis have great looks, high price, sooper dooper high insurance, great sex appeal and brilliant handling when you're really moving. but to be honest, the one i test drove was actually hard to drive at slow speeds inside the city.

the transmission is built for winding it out, not plodding along. but once you hit the gas, it turns into a race track tool.

that said, I would probably get the RSX. better compromise of the three.
