I have a 2001 Civic EX end after I saw the Civic SI video I got in love with the car. Here in Puerto Rico the cars are very expensive and I think the new Civic SI will be over $24,000. My Car is 127Hp and the new Civic SI 160Hp. 33Hp more for maybe $3,000 more. I don't know. Do you think is worth it?

I mean, I can spend less money to get those 30Hp extra. Anyway, I think the past SI was best then this new one. Even the style was better. What do you people think about this.

Well eveyone has an opinion on the new SI, we have heard both ups and downs on it. I guess its up to you if its worth the extra $$$ for the HP. As far as what SI is better, the new or old, I like the 99-00 SI Coupes but its a styling issue for me more than power.

Just my $0.02

i dunno man, my friend test drove the 02 Si, he said its pretty slow, of course its still a bit faster than a ex, but not worth that extra money on Si, just my and his opinion though, i'd rather get rsx with leather and 16" rims which is like $1500CAD more than the Si(R) here in Canada, and 10lbs more torque than the Si(R)[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

if it sells for 23- or 24 like it does here in Pa, thats close to a 8,000 dollar dif than the 15,500 I paid for my ex

ya I wanted to get an RSX-S, but I had to come to grips with my financial status and go with the EX. It blows, always being broke when your in college but what are u gonna do?

I'd say its a small difference the new Si is over priced

The new Si is 12k more than I paid for my 2001 LX. Do I think it's worth coughing up the extra 12k for an Si? Heeeeeeeeell no. Besides, I'm holding out for a trade-in on a 'vette someday. In the meantime I'm modding my car the way I see fit.

I think the best thing about the si is the interior. It is a lot nicer, sportier, and feels and looks much better than any prior vic. That's the main reason I am somewhat considering it because the interior is awesome imo. Plus, I think a oem car that does 0-60 in 8secs is much better than one that has been modded to achieve the same performance. I would rather have a car that has a nice interior and looks like sheite on the outside than the other way around. I spend more time looking from the inside out rather than the outside in.

Mbow has a point. If you're basing your car buying decision on totally on the looks of the exterior, go buy a Tiburion. They look good. But that's all you can say for it.
