I'd rather have the RSX if you have the money.

No question about it to YOU. It's all preference. I personally would rather have an Si. Not only because i own one, but i don't like the styling of the RSX.

Everything about the RSX-S is superior, but looks, as always, are up to interpretation. Better power, better modability, better handling, safer, more comfortable, better interior, etc.

I've driven both and must say I like the SI better. My brother had an RSX-S and I didn't enjoy driving it that much. Not to mention I don't care for the styling. So even if they cost the same I would probably still be in an SI. Not to mention I have yet to fall prey to an RSX yet, I'm not impressed.

Just my $.02
