How fast are the Si's and are they worth buying?

I am planning on getting a daily driver and I'm torn between a del sol and a civic hatch. I used to have an Si but I wondered how much faster the vtec 160 hp version is?

You talking about the new Civic SI? Well, it isn't that fast, and it weighs more than the old SI coupes. Do a search and you will find out a lot.

What do you want to do with the car? Just daily driving? Cruising? Stop light racing? The del Sol is more "refined" IMO, but not as speedy as a similar year (EH chassis) hatch w/the same engine. Oh, are you looking for a hybrid hatch vs del Sol VTEC/hybrid?

More info needed....
