Rep Power: 0 Upgrading from a 96' Accord
Hey everyone, new here, I'm 17 years old and I drive a 96' Accord 2.2L 4-cylinder automatic with 204,000 miles on it, and I absolutely love it. I love the way it drives, handles, how good it is on gas, etc. However, I'm putting money aside for a second car eventually, as the Accord is a great car, but it's already seeing quite a few issues, and I can probably squeeze about another year or a year and a half out of it. Anyways, I'll be putting money aside as I can to go towards a purchase of maybe a 2006 Civic Si Coupe. But, I'm also looking to see if I can get a 2006 Honda Accord V6 in a stick as well, I drive my dad's 2009 Accord V6 once in a while and that thing is SUPER TORQUEY (5-speed auto) but it feels like driving a boat compared to driving my 96' Accord with a 4-cylinder. Does the Civic Si handle like a fairly small car, or at least feel a little easier to drive than the bigger-sized Accord? Fairly good on gas? Quick? I may end up getting a sedan if the insurance is gonna be ridiculous on the coupe, but either way, I'm looking to get a new car. I'm sure this is gonna be biased as this is a Civic forum, but without being biased, 2006 Accord V6 6-speed manual or a 2006 Civic Si 6-speed manual Sedan/Coupe? I've also heard from a lot of people, including my dad and brother who both tell me the same thing that a Civic Si is a theft magnet , anyways, thanks!
