hi,
I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but for some reason I'm totally torn between which car to buy: the '06 Civic SI, or the '06 Accord Coupe V6 w/ 6 speed MT.
I've had the Accord coupe before - a 2002 V6 model (but with AT - it had 200 hp). And I really like the '06 MT version of the V6, with its 244 hp and
200+ lb. ft of torque. AND I like the fact that it has a better sound system than the Coupe V6 auto.On the other hand, I'm really attracted to the Civic SI - the new '06 body, the 350 watt sound system w/ subwoofer (it looks like it's going to be nigh on impossible to add a subwoofer to the Accord Coupe). It's got a decent 197 hp, a 6 speed MT, and yet .....
The Civic SI has 50 less hp, only has 138 ft lb or torque or so, and it weighs only 500 lbs less than the Accord Coupe! Plus leather isn't even an option.
I'd really appreciate any thoughts on the way you'd go. Thanks in advance.
p.s. - I have already ruled out other makes - I've narrowed it down to the two Hondas).
