Trading the SI in I need help deciding whats next!!

BubzSI · 05-04-2008, 05:49 AM

Hey guys.. I am Deployed in Ecuador right now, I'm looking at getting another car a lil' quicker than the SI when I get back.

Only things I want is:
-4 Door
-Manual
-Quick (225HP+)
-Under 26K

Options:
-EVO
-Lexus IS300
-Acura TSX

Leaning more towards a EVO, but I'd like to get some input from my 8thCrew..Any advice would help..

Evo or TSX

BubzSI · 05-04-2008, 05:50 AM

Yah I like the 9's alot.

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 05-04-2008, 05:57 AM

I would get a IX but I have to have cruise control

phoenixdrago12 · 05-04-2008, 06:15 AM

I say either evo VIII or IS300

I hear that all honda 6-speed transmissions have the third gear problems...

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 05-04-2008, 06:24 AM

My car has no problem

BubzSI · 05-04-2008, 06:25 AM

BTW Voice... i was looking at your avy... I had an Ostrich Burger last night. Its big here in Ecuador. LOL It actually tasted awesome.

06civictx · 05-04-2008, 06:30 AM

i would say evo but why not an 05 sti or something?

Rawhyde · 05-04-2008, 09:02 AM

What about saving up a CPO BMW 328i sedan?

Gimenez · 05-04-2008, 09:37 AM

EVO. You wont regret it.

TUK0NG · 05-04-2008, 02:31 PM

I'll get an evo VIII

civicmarc · 05-04-2008, 02:35 PM

evo 9 mivec engine!!!!!

waldo08 · 05-04-2008, 03:19 PM

EVO IX but make sure it is bone stock if you buy one...

Gamble · 05-04-2008, 03:22 PM

Why is there no option for the STI? While I do not love the styling of the STI as I do the Evo the exhaust note is sent from the car gods.

waldo08 · 05-04-2008, 03:43 PM

I like the 08 STI the best... Likin the hatch...

sb12007 · 05-04-2008, 03:43 PM

STI or WRX

waldo08 · 05-04-2008, 03:50 PM

The STI

TheChosenGuy · 05-04-2008, 04:25 PM

Uh...the only car up there that is over 225 hp is the EVO so therefore I suggest an STi, a Mazdaspeed 3, or even take a look at the new Cobalt SS turbo when it comes out in a 4-door variant.

vince1128 · 05-04-2008, 04:39 PM

e46 330i? or if you could find an e90 328 with 25k or so miles it might be under 26

No.11 · 05-04-2008, 04:42 PM

The EVO is more like 30k. If I had the money to pay off at least 10k and finance the rest I'd go for it. unless you're getting a used one.
