rsx-s = nicest interior, best looking...very refined. fun to drive
si = has LSD but a few less horses than rsx...otherwise, its pretty fugly
scion = too cheap, handles worse than both others, and basically performs worse than both others. and every 16 year old latino kid has one with some LED lights somwhere.

go with RS-X. Don't even compare the Scion and it's 160 horses with those cars. The honda is also slower as previously stated but Acura would be your best bet.

tC is the best deal out there. Decent power, decent handling, and TONS of standard options for a mere $17k. Interior quality is lacking a bit though.

My second choice would be the new Si. Love the new styling. Seems like a nice little package. Pending price, it would be tied with the tC. I'm assuming it will be around the low $20's before the dealership mark-ups due to the anticipated high demand.

Last choice would be the RSX-S. Fantastic car, but too expensive for a 2-door FWD "sports" car IMO. Not a big fan of what they did with the updated head and tail lights either.

The three people above me have explained it all.
The difference is pretty noticable.

m3 no thanks cause changing parts costs alot of $$$

true but tC is in price range with the new Si. is it me or is tC turning into a civic cause they're everywhere i go.

i know RSX has nice interior but the new Si comes with navigation as an option which is nice plus LSD tranny+RSX type S motor. do u think rsx is lil bit overpriced though?

The Civic SI is over 4k more than the tC! Please do some more research on your own.
The more money cars are, the less often you see them on the road.
Sounds like performance isnt on your mind at all! Just cross out the SI and RSX.
Just get the tC, its the least expensive of the other 2.
Edit: and also the cheapest to repair in the future. If youre leasing it and not planing to own it, then dont worry about part prices. Factory warrenty covers during your leasing.
