Rep Power: 328 I drove the 02 back when it first came out...to be honest it kinda disappointed me, simply because it felt heavier and not nimble enough for a hatch, or even an Si for that matter. Sorry civicvtec1ps, but it just didn't seem to be a driver's car at all...
I do like the way they look with the factory performance package...

Rep Power: 380 well, Ive been autocrossing my 01 EX for about a year now, and havent been beaten by an 7th gen Si yet. and a few have come out, so the handling cant be that much better. Dont get me wrong, I'd love to have the engine, but I'd also love to have the thing lose about 300LBS.

When I drove the 02 it felt fat. And there was a lot of body roll for a car like that. And it still looks like a mini minivan.

But I would sooner have the RSX TypeS for a few extra bucks.

Rep Power: 0 When I test drove a 03 Si I was not impressed at all. It felt almost the exact same as my EX but just with more body roll. This was before I lowered my coupe also. It felt the same in throttle response, power, and cornering. My mods were I/E at the time also. I had beaten a couple Si's when I had I/E too.
I also think that it is the ugly hatchback, let alone the ugliest Honda that I have ever seen. And if I were you Scatman, I was definently consider dishing out the extra couple of bucks for the RSX Tye-S. I wonder what you will say when you test drive a Type S
