Which car

I know this topic has been covered but i would like to know out of these four which would yu chose and why?

2005:

EVO
STI
RSX-S
SI
TSX

I like the evo. My boys is crazy. Just seems over better then the sti. But i have never drivin a sti yet. But i also like the rsx-s and the si. I always said my next car after my honda would be AWD. If i got the evo it would be the MR package.

If i got the si/rsx-s i would like to go all motor. I love all motor cars. Well as for the evo and sti i would make then beasts.

And the tsx jsut thinking of relaxing and driving. I would get it loaded. leather, navi, etc. I would put 19 rims on. Keep it simple.

Sorry if this has been covered. Thanks for the imput!!

Just to add this in. I want something where im not going to spend 10k and still go no where cuase the engine sucks nuts. Ive spent alot of money trying to get my car moving, and its just putting a damper on the bank account.

I'd go for the TSX. I do a lot more highway driving then racing or whatever so the TSX is what I would choose. Like you said, its got a relaxing ride, and I personally like having 4 doors so no one bothers me trying to get in and out of back seats.

Out of your list, I'd choose the TSX. The EVO and STi are fine cars, but they're still a relative of their economy car cousins. Call me vain, but if I'm spending 3X,000 dollars I want a car with a little more exclusiveness than that. At least with a car like the TSX, it is totally designed off of its own platform, and not a lower one on steroids. The RSX and Si, are nice, but they're still economy cars at heart. To me the TSX has more luxury with a bit of sport, and is overall the more sophisticated car.

Why isn't the G35 coupe, sedan, G35X, 350Z, and my favorite, the RX-8 under this list? None of them are as race bred as the EVO or STi, but they are all as mentioned, cars that were designed to be for an upscale market from the get-go.

Yeah i was thinking about a tsx. But man the evo is just such a sweet car. if i got the evo id the evo8 not the RSor the MR, and i would get the leather seats, sunroof, and radio package. Suck cause i like all the cars i mentioned but the evo is something.

Redline04 is an unknown quantity at this point
I'd go with the RSX-S. At least that's what I've decided to do. All motor,with a few fairly simple, fairly cheap bolt-ons and it will run mid to high 13's which is enough for me. Slap some slicks and maybe some weight redux and that will put you real close to a 12sec reliable all motor car while retaining the 4yr factory warranty. Plus the resale value is killer on all hondas. So economically I'd say RSX is better in overall sale price and ownership costs. Evo's are nice, but they cost a bit more and will depreciate faster. But if you want an awd turbo car that kicks ace then the money spent will be worth it. I'm just trying to get the "best bang for my buck" with reliability and warranty coverage. If you got the cash get what you really want. Maybe go test drive each one before you make your final desicion.
Just my take on the matter.
