what r ur reasons for buyin a Si instead of a Type S

[GeNoZiDe]

well mine are
Si cheaper LOL
and less people have it ;) stands out

[Dunrick]

the ephatch community - the fact that you can swap the type s engine in - its a lot more rare - more trunk space :)

[Civicvtec1ps]

cheaper. price of car.
cheaper insurace and everyone has rsx.

[CivicHB]

good price.
good insurance.
good platform.
and a better interior than an RSX.

[tony speed]

i didn't like the rsx body and interior.
and i saw one too many young people with one.

[silver ep]

- I wasn't into the RSX interior.
- Cost was an issue with the RSX.
- I love the shape of the ep, just looks better imo.

[2QK4U ALLWAYS]

Better looks
Better Handling
and it feels like it has more power then the RSX
and not many around
Maybe just me because I like to stand out of the crowd;)

[BlasTech]

Didnt want to pay for acura logo, and then the ride is much more "go-kart" like in the Si.

[furious]

I don't care for the headlight action on the RSX.
Cheaper.
More rare....actually, I have yet to see another on the road, just one pulling into a lot in Boston.

Finally, the most convincing one....my company has many young girls that started working for us (well, I am only 24 myself)...and quite a few of them drive the RSX...some Type-S...it seem to have gotten the soririty like vibe to me so no thanks...

[Grookes]

I can fit both my kid in the back seat, and my German Shephard in the trunk. My dog wouldn't fit in the Acura.

Price. Acura wouldnt sell me one for $16000:p

That's right! If they are the same price I would get a type s, even I still think my EP looks better.

[HondaMan]

I love Si HBs & price was an issue.

[andy]

I haven't bought an Si (yet), but I've been looking at
them instead of an RSX because:
I think the RSX is just ugly, exterior wise.
I've already teased my friends who have RSX's about
buying a "Honda" (oh, how the mighty have fallen, lol).
Much cheaper, and more potential for engine swap/performance
down the road.
Cooler and more unique look.
Cheap price!

[l33t]

stiffer chassis, better handling characteristics, lower compression, a3 = fun turbo engine, and insurance is cheap as hell, 106 a month for me full coverage at 17

Cheaper insurance than RSX (base and type-s), grand prix (not sure why I was even looking at that thing), celica, and a number of other cars i looked at.

Also, I can actually move shit around in the hatch. One time I had 4 people AND a large dog in my car, all at the same time. I've also had a keg of beer and the plastic keg bucket upright in the hatch and still had extra space left over when I closed it!

[crispytreat]

I love the RSX-S, I also love my EP. If they were priced the same, I would go for the RSX. It was just too expensive for me. The good thing is my wife has one, so if I get the urge to drive one I can.

All i can say that I LOVE MY EP..... ::give EP a big hug:;

[tony speed]

june 09 is national hug your EP day

[MPBSi]

Si => way cheap (got a year end '02), reliable, and fun

Type S => way more money - I'd be driving a chipped GTI, a WRX, or used A4 wagon with a stage 3 kit instead, for roughly the same price ;) But that's just me (I'm obviously not the brand loyal type)

[IceD out N CALI]

u can get an ep for 6k less or more if u wheel and deal well;)

[SiR Medic]

All together...

Less EP's around= more exclusive car

Less Money

Less Insurance

Less attention from the 5-0


Better trunk space

Better rear seat room

Better seats

Better shifter placement

[CivicSiR4U2NV]

the interior of the car!! its so well layed out unlike the rsx. that was the major reasoning behind me buying mine :D

[KickerSi]

I hate the way the RSX looks. (Dodge Intrepid)
I hate having leather interior
Dont want t seem like a rich boy having a type-s
I DONT want a 6 speed

Our EPs have an innocent/sleeper look to them which makes it sooo much sweeter when you beat someone (I love the Dodge Caravan look). Plus I want a TRUE H/B, not a car that looks like it has a trunk. If I wanted a car with a trunk I would have gotten an 00 SI

[myeverlovinsir]

I took alot of cars out for a drive before testing the EP. Found it
to be the best all around ride/feel/looks/interior for the money.
I was going to mod anything I got anyways, and the EP platform
is just wonderful for mods. Definitely an eye catcher.:D

[!@#$%]

price, practicality, exclusivity.

16G, 84.7 cu ft of passenger room, clubrsx has over 10K members.

Sometimes it is just more fun and more satisfying being the underdog.

[foilpan]

1. price -- rsx for under $16K? nope.
2. i loved my old si, so i wanted one when the new model was released.
3. hatchbacks rule
