Sorry, but for $21k you could get something RWD.

I'd buy the SI over the ms3 anyday, regardless of stock power levels. the K series motor stomps those motors.

well im not necessarily looking for power. im just looking for a nice comfortable 4 door car. I was just looking at all these pictures of the civic si and i thought "man, it kinda looks dorky, imo." Then derka recommended the ms3. It seems like a pretty good package.

$25k is the highest ill go. What other nice cars would you reccomend for that much?

I own an MS3 and it's an all-around blast to drive.

I would tell you to go with the SI. The 08 sedan is on clearance, at Tampa Hondaland and a couple other dealers we checked with, but you have to bring it up. The clearance price is right at $20,420 with a "lifetime" powertrai warranty. I just bought my wife one and she loves it. She had an 05 Tahoe, so a big change. I am a big guy and there is plenty of room in the back to sit with my daughter while in her car seat. Fun to drive and great gas mileage. Here is a pic of ours with the HFP kit and suspension upgrade.
