Man, get the RSX-S 6-Speed with full OEM body kit, Black leather interior, Fully Loaded ..
Get that, and I'll trade you my civ for it, heh heh. I want that car so much - maybe when I'm 25 and the insurance is lower ..

if i were you i would seriously look into a 2001 ITR. my friend is about to put Skunk2 stage I camshafts and will be running high 13's all motor NA (he has a lot of sh*t under the hood). the powerband on that car is disgusting-->stock Z28's, v8 stang's, s2000's, and WRX's=lunch for his car

i have so much respect for the B18C5

Go with an AWD! I would wait for the STi or the EVO. But of course those are even more expensive.

Id probably go with the wrx or if you really wanna be cool find a used audi s4 or a TT! But with the wrx you have many options ! There are alot of aftermarket motor parts for that car! Dakota

Dude, get the WRX...it's got HUGE power potential and is infinitely more interesting in every aspect than either the RSX, the Si, or the Sentra. Even a 2.5 RS has power potential.
A plus: You get that nice flat-four growl with either the 2.5RS or the WRX!

EDIT: Despite whatever anyone tells you, AWD IS BETTER than FWD any day.

if you have the cash, go for the EVO VII or the VW GTI.. if not, the Si is a great car, so is the rsx- i drove them both and loved them.. my buddy's little brother just got a mini cooper-s, and i drove it- that thing is soooo damn quick.. it's very quirky i agree, but mechanically, i loved it..

how much do you want for yor SRI, and you think it fits an LX?? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

anyways, go with the WRX!!! my friend has one, i just rode in it last night...HOLY CRAP! that thing moves. all wheel drive, 227HP, the dealer installs all sorts of mods for you no probs, and theres tons available for the car aftermarket wise. id personally wait a year and get the 270HP version, but its your call i guess. hehe

Here's an idea: wait a couple more months, save a little more, and get a 350Z


....God, I want that car......please make me rich

keep your civic, work hard in college, make some good investments, come out hopefully already financially well off. the way things are now, you can imagine how the car market will be in 4 years.
