K so im turning 16 in a month and ive been looking for a SI but where i live (wisconsin) im not finding any in my price range (7,000 and >). But theres plenty of EX's. My friend has a 86 civic with a 00' si engine and it flys thats kinda why i want a SI. But is there really such a difference in a SI and EX (manual EX of course). Being the way my dad is im not going to be able to do any performance upgrades unless there hidden so help me please.
Thanks!!

So imagine how pissed your dad's gonna be when your Si gets stolen.
Find yourself less of a theft magnet.

You will regret it if you dont by an si. Just like every other car, if it comes fro mthe factory with upgrades and you dont get that model then you will be kicking yourself later. I once bought a 1g dsm that was not turbo. That is the worse thing you could do.

Lying to him, especially about a car with notoriously high insurance rates on just about ANY driver isn't the way to win him over on it.

yeah, better look into the insurance first .. and as for my opinion, try to grab an si .. i wanted one but couldnt find one under 8k and if i did they would be salvaged. I ended up getting a 00 ex, i like it, but i do regret it and looking to see if i can trade it in for a 00 si

[censored]. You have no idea how horrid insurance can be to pay until you start paying it yourself, and at some point, your dad will be cutting you off, unless he plans on spoiling your ass and making you a whining loser like 85% of kids these days. I picked up an '04 Ion Redline back in August, financed at like 20% interest (thanks bad credit), which gave me a $373 a month car payment. On top of that, being 21, my insurance is $160 a month, because there is no way I could afford the whopping 6 month payment plan. So, that puts me with $533 a month, just on the car and insurance. This isn't including gas (premium only), and oil changes (mobil 1, $6 a quart x 7 quarts), and all the other expensive bullshit involved in owning a car. Do I like the car? Yes. Should I have bought a beater till I'm 25 or so? Maybe. It'd be a hell of a lot cheaper.

personally, i would advise you to buy an older car. i mean your dad may be rich, but you're learning how to drive and theres nothing i hate more than some punk rich kid in some car that he can't drive worth shi*. sure hes got those "stunna shades" pimpin in his "dub shoes" (rims) with his illegal tint all around the car. But let the green light go and he's just gonna floor it and know nothing about how the car feels on a track or how to drive it period. buy a car that you can learn how to drive, how to know how it feels then upgrade if you can afford it. for a first car if you can afford, i would probably recommend some kind of older sportier car, maybe an older prelude to start off with ( h23 or h22 ). this will get your panties goin. then upgrade to a a newer car, such as the si, when you feel that you have got the feel of the road

so what your saying is you learn better on a older car then a newer car

so what your saying is you learn better on a older car then a newer car
1. An older car may very well have a cable clutch, which imo is a lot harder than a hydraulic to drive.
2. An older car is cheaper, and therefore will be less of a heartbreaker if you burn up the clutch, bend a shift fork, etc etc.
3. Lots of times and older car may be less expensive to fix. For instance, I would be willing to bet the clutch on say a 1992 civic with a d series is cheaper than an 00 si. I'll check autozone real quick. 92 hb with 1.5l = $119.99; 00 Si $214.99
