Alright so as some of you already know I am in the market for a new car. I have considered a lot of different options, japanese and euro mainly, and I have pretty much narrowed it down two two different cars.

It's just tough trying to decide because both cars have their pros and cons.

1. A 2006 Magnesium Metallic (Charcoal) RSX Type S

Pros: Hatchback
I like the RSX Charcoal a little better (as far as color goes)
More parts available as of now (also made in japan = JDM goodies)
Cons: It would be used = higher mileage
Used Car = higher interest rates
Harder to find

2. A 2006 or most likely a 2007 Civic Si coupe in Galaxy Grey Metallic (another charcoal color)

Pros: Most likely if I were to go with the civic it would be a brand new car
New car = substantially better interest rate (and the appeal of a brand spanking new car)
More for your money
Stock LSD (Limited Slip Differential)
Faster than the RSX (new and improved motor)
Easier to come by

Cons: The civic styling is growing on me more and more, but I do really like the RSX styling

I test drove the Si for the first time yesterday and before the test drive, I was leaning towards finding a used RSX in the color and trim I am interested in but now I am questioning which route I want to go. I am not gonna lie the Si was faster and handled very well.

I know when it comes down to it its my choice to make I was just interested in what you guys thought I should do, or why you would go with one over the other.
