so which would you perfer and why?

If you're posting in a Civic forum, what would you expect?

2010's.

canikS2000

ha i guess your right

Spoon ITR

that's like asking someone who is irish what's better, potatos or spaghetti.

I think I'd rather have my Si sedan than an RSX-S, but I might take an RSX-S over an Si coupe.

kd97accord

Totally agree. The Si coupe looks a bit too futuristic for my taste, but the sedan seems to pull it off. Plus, why do you think the new CTR is a four door chassis? It just works.

Ross

Small coupes are generally kind of useless.

The hatchback shape of my ITR was very handy, and it could carry things that even my parents' larger cars could not. I'm assuming the same goes for the RSX.

With the Si coupe, you get all the drawbacks of the 3-door hatch with none of the benefits. Kinda sucks.

And I'm guessing the CTR is a sedan because a 4-door body is usually more rigid than a 2-door body. 4 small holes > 2 large ones.

Here we go again........

CrAzE191st

im kind of caught between the two as well. don't know which one to get

I'd get whichever one you could get a better deal on haha, thats what I might end up doing

i-VTEC_DOHC

the si has lsd and the rsx-s doesnt.
and a better sounding stock exhaust.

^ the lsd is crucial. Especially once you start modding. With very short gearing and a 4.76 differential at times it can be hard to use 1st without spinning so the lsd helps quite a bit.

i-VTEC_DOHC

of course ajp.
i think thats the main advantage we have over the rsx-s.

mr8pack

the lsd says it all... haha

Seriously

Juicemaster06

agreed. here the civic will always rock.

ThatRHDstatus

took the words out of my mouth

ac_attak

If i wanted a coupe i would go with the rsx.

2008fijibluesi

Then you wouldn't have a coupe.

ajpturbopittsburgh

Stop it. You're gonna confuse him.

ac_attak

Oh excuuuuse me.

Liftback then.
It has the looks of a coupe when the trunk is closed.

2008fijibluesi

Believe it or not, coupe really has nothing to do with how many doors there are on a car. It's the chassis and position/design of the pillars that really determine it. There are 4 door coupes and 2 door sedans.

K5^

What would be an example of a two door sedan?

wildabeast

civic si wins, it has an LSD
RSX doesnt.
end of story.

2008fijibluesi

Mostly older cars. The '64 Nova was available in two door sedan.

if you were researching a honda civic si coupe vs a rsx type-s (05 model) than i would go for for the rsx. The looks, performance and interior are just so much better than 8th gen civics.
