One word or three letters that mean a world to us si owners....LSD. Get the si buddy. You will never regret it.

You are correct on that one. The si does have LSD, while the RSX lacks it. To pretty much sum it all up, LSD will transfer power to both wheels unlike cars without LSD, where the power will go to the wheel with the most resistance. I am not an expert on LSD, but that is my "simple" explanation of LSD. It will definately show when you whip your car around the twisties....which is awesome. Plus, the RSX is discontinued. SI

Well said. I didn't really know what it was either until after I got the Si. To me, it makes a huge difference with the handling. I have taken a few curves going 100 that other cars cannot do, and I have stock suspension. Can't wait until I upgrade it. I wonder what it could do then.

The civic is cheaper too, by like 3 grand. Atleast compared to the type-s. So the civic wins on price, LSD, but i must say the rsx is a much better looking car, thats probably the only thing i like about the rsx over the civic.

The interior in the 06Si makes it the winner...oh and the LSD doesn't hurt.
