Having driven the previous generation Eclipse, I'll agree that the Si is tremendously more sporty to drive. I disagree, however, in labeling the Si an entry level sports car. I consider and justify my Si as a sporty economy car. I have a hard time thinking of it as a any kind of actual sports car because of certain aspects of its layout and driving characteristics.
