Ah, the Civic Si. those are MARVELOUS cars. if the S2000 is too high strung and impractical for you, the Civic Si Coupe is the answer. Even at premium close to $25k, i believe the Si is worth every penny. Economical, practical (now they even come as a sedan), low maintenance, fuuuuun to drive, not to mention good looking. You can't go wrong!Keep it in good condition for a while and it may even become almost-collectible. Judging by the prices commanded by the old mid-80's Civic/Crx Sis in decent condition, it's a sure possibility.
