Your help would be greatly appreciated

This is gonna be long...sorry. First things first this is my car. I love her to death. She has been nothing but good to me since the day I got her. Well my sister just turned 16. My parents want to buy her a car...they were gonna get her a beater, just like my first car. I suggested "Well, why dont I just turn my lease over to you, you can make the payments on the Civic, and I can get a newer car?" My dad replies, "Thats a pretty good idea. What kind of car do you want?" There's my problem. I drive an auto LX right now. I pay $200 dollars a month on a 36 month lease (2g's down). I want to stay in that price range, i wont go over $275 a month on a 36-48 month lease with ZERO down. This is where my fellow 2K1 owners come in.
My options:
2K3 Civic EX 5-spd
2k3 Accord EX 5-spd (very long shot)
maybe a Lancer (not the Evo)
2K2 Si
RSX??
and any other car you could possibly come up with in this price range.
No focuses, no eclipses, no corollas
What do you think???

Yeah defentitly EX 5-spd, especially since your moving from an LX Auto to EX manual, and it has rims on it for the '03 model.

2k3 EX 5spd was my 1st thought, but check insurance rates 1st, if it aint that much more for the accord then just get it because ur sure as hell gonna want to drive an acccourd for the next 5 years, but u'll prolly only wanna drive a ciciv for 2

EX= 17500
RSX= 19500

Over 60 months on a loan, that's chicken *ish. Just get the RSX... think of it this way... The 2000 bucks extra for the car will be the same 2000 you put in to the EX to get it the same horsepower. I wish I had just bought the RSX, but my parents kept saying it was too expensive.

Get a basic 4cyl Accord stick.. it's soooo upscale. You won't regret it. Civics/RSXs interior looks like an amature job compared to it. Besides, new ones have 160HP from a 2.4L... not too shabby.
