Should I get an Si??
Here's the deal. One of my friends is selling his 2003 Civic Si. This car has 12K miles on the odometer, he only used it to go to school and back. It has an Intake, header, and midpipe I believe... Also has some audio upgrades, springs and 15 inch Mugen wheels. Don't know what kind of rims but I know they stopped making them in 1998 and they are white. He wants me to take over payments (240/mo) and give him 2 grand for the car. Sounds like a good deal and overall, the car is in a great condition, but I don't know if I should sell my 02 EX to get the Si. I still don't like the way it looks, but I this is a great opportunity for me to upgrade to something a bit better. What do you guys think? Should I go for it??

I've decided not to get it. There's no way in hell I could get used to its looks. I'll pass, and maybe in a year or two, I'll be able to upgrade to a WRX or something.
Thanks for all your opinions though

It'll either grow on you or not. If you really don't like the look then don't take it, otherwise it sounds like a GREAT deal to me!

the si hatch may look ugly but you can make it look nice with the right drop and wheels..

but i'd personally would've stayed with the EX and build up savings for a true sports car.
