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.
