    I'll tell you right now.....you're not gonna get a good deal on etheir.

    We went looking at the new EX model Civic's and they cant keep them on the lot, so there is no negotiating on pricing. Drive out price was right at 23,900 with Navigation.

    Scion TC's....I was hard pressed to find one under 21,000. They advertise them for what, 17000? but then they put on the XM radio, blue light thing, spoiler, weak ass stereo system and sub, and a few other things and next thing you know you're hitting that 21,000.

    those cars are selling, to whom, I dont know because I dont see that many of them on the roads.

    I've moved on to wether a STI or EVO now.

    WRX get a used WRX, i mean come on man, why get a new car unless its something along the Lines of the M5 and there are not other cars that you can pay less for and have so much more?

    get an 04 WRX, get a cobb tune and some prodrive sway bars, some teins and your set


    now if you are a true honda fanboi, no offense we all have our brands, im subaru/bmw, then go ahead and get teh Civic, but an si

    TC IS WAY SLOWWWWWWWW!!!! All I can say.
    ^as compared to waht? It can stomp all aforementioned Si's up to this point, except the 00-01's but they get it by just a tiny bit. If you put the factory s/c on the tC then its got the new Si beaten as well as a shit ton of other cars on the road today. The tc as it is responds really well to intakes and headers. Its possible to be pushing about 185whp from just a header change. I would do the tc. The honda is over priced for what it is, and the tc is cheaper and comes with better features from the get go.

    I would love to see an 01 Si....oh....that's right....I can't because they never made one.

    The new Si would stomp a mudhole in a TC.

    I would wait 1 yr and get the SI then. Right now it's going to be like the EVO's were. Dealers won't budge a dime, until about 6 months when they have way too many of them.
