Si,Prelude, GS-R?!?!?!

If you were given these options which one would you take? and why?

1) If you could afford an 00 Si right now and afford payments and insurance comfortably?

2) 98-01 Prelude base or SH model, BUT, you would have to sacrifce a little more of your money/payments that you make. Insurance would also be a little higher. Means you probably have to work a little more to pay it all off. Not very comfortable overall, but still can find a way to manage it.

3) 00-01 GS-R, you could afford the payments, but insurance would be a little higher. Kind of the midpoint between the Si and Prelude.

4) keep 01-03 civic, wouldnt trade it in for anything!

Overall, those would be YOUR situations, what would you end up doing? Which one would you rather buy, and why? What would be your future plans for them? Daily driver, light modification, or heavy modification.
Feel free to post any specific mods you would do.

All these options includes your 01-03 civic being sold, or whatever you drive.

The 00 Si or GSR if you are looking for good handling, huge aftermarket support for the B series engine among other parts and all around form and function of both cars.

The 00-01 prelude if you want a nice car, smooth shifting, wonderful handling and nice interior, i would choose this if you wanted a car with a nice set of rims no cheap ass rotas, exhaust, intake and header and plan to do nothing else to the car but cruise.

01-03 civic if you enjoy bland style but good fuel economy, limited parts and swap options, and other limited amount of performance upgrades.

why does it have to be those 3?

what about nissan 240s? (cheaper, sr20 os definitly better than a b18 imho)
or celica alltrac/mr2? (cheaper, 3sgte, 'nuff said)
or even dsm gsx, gst.. etc...

but if i must stuck in honda (don't know why)
i'll take hte prelude, it has a nice interior, a great sounding engine, and excellent styling imo

all 3 cars are played out, but a sh still ahve some expensive feel

It's a toss up between the lude and the GSR. If I had to pic right this second...I would have to go with the GSR simply because the internal parts that are available and the looks of the GSR inside and out. The Prelude body just looks ugly to me, but it has the bigger engine.

I say GSR.

If I was going to spend that much, I would buy my 240 with the SR20DET or a 5th gen hatch.

all 3 cars are played out, but a sh still ahve some expensive feel
and the 240, im a drift king swap isnt played out yet? its every rice boys wet dream or the ever popular. "IM GONNA BUY A 240 AND SWAP A RB26DETT AND BE SUPER JDM YO"

face it unless you have millions of dollars any car you buy is going to be played out unless its older 50,60, 70's era.

MR2's are a pain in the ass to work on since you have to drop the motor to do anything to it, other then that its a good car.

Alltrac celica good luck finding one.

DSM is a roll of the dice either you get a 2nd gen and worry about crankwalk or you have tranny problems pick your poison.
