Default noob civic question.

Looking at getting rid of the ek ctr coupe a crv and a lude and stepping into a new civic. would I be better served to get an ex and do a tsx or rsx swap or just get the si? Looking for good solid stock (reliability) performance and want the best bang for my buck. Should I make this a poll or just take opinions? I'm a lude guy at heart the ctr is my old ladies so any help would be nice.

The EX is only like $2500-3000 less then the Si. I would recommend just buying the Si. You get the motor, interior, spoiler etc.....plus you keep a warranty whereas if you swapped out an ex etc, obvious you have no warranty, and you still have the lower grade interior.

I'm from canada here the ex is like 7000 cheaper... but you make a good point about the interior but truth be told I'm not a fan of the spoiler... and if I was buying to swap it would be used. bench racing aside how does the si stack up to the rsx? thanks for the input

There is a guy on here with video and time slips that has ran a 14.1 completely stock. Most can get in the range of 14.7 with the stock all seasons.

I might be biased because I own the Si but I think just getting the Si would be the best and easiest idea.
