Default Hello everyone...advice please!

Hi everybody. I'm 15 (almost 16), and when I turn 16, I will recieve my mom's '04 Chevy Tahoe, which I will sell as soon as I can (it get's 13.5 MPG). After I sell the Tahoe, I'll have $25,000 to spend. I will be buying a car that's good on gas, yet fun to drive, safe, and practicaly. Eventually I will mod it for Autocross racing (do not worry, I'm opposed to street racing). I have considered the Cobalt SS/SC, RSX-S, and GTI, but like the new Civic Si the most. Would a new Civic Si be a good car for me? I appreciate any advice, thanks!

Somebody in my school has one, I'll try to get a look at it on Monday.

One question...I've heard that it's completely gutless stock. Is this true? Because if I AutoX it, I will need some good torque.
