So is paying 30k+ for a lancer but people still did it didnt they.

My friend at work as a new Si 4 door, and I have to admit the one or two times Ive driven it, it was a really smooth car to drive, and the dang shifter is silky smooth. Really nice car, and the stock stereo is great too. Wouldnt make a bad daily.

I think the new si is great my girl has it. . You can always really on a honda but they need to step up and be more aggressive power wise..

$30k+ for a Civic blows my mind.

Are Skunk2 lowering springs for the Si any good?

I agree too much but damn it would be cool to own one

I have a 03 VIII i have been thinking of geting rid of it for the SI my car has 84,000 miles on it would u sugest it. I want a good DD that is sporty too and i thought this would be it. I am moveing soon and takeing a pay cut so i thought sell the evo now when i still can get something for it and buy the SI

As long as you know that the Si will never be as good as your evo, i say go for it. It is a great DD, and it handles superb for a FWD. And it looks gorgeous.
