I love mine, but I think it might be up for sale towards the end of winter, start of spring.
White Sedan w/Nav and HIDs. Unmodded otherwise.

i own an 07 si coupe, and i absolutely love it. it is an excellent car for someone that wants a daily driver that handles well and has a little zip to it. i would highly recommend.

pick the si for the better chassis and the altima for the better daily driver / lux car.

My very good friend has an 07 Si sedan. I think its a very nice car. Handles very well, although you really feel the stiff suspension on bumpy roads but thats to be expected on a sport model. Gearbox is small and makes quick shifts easy. Plenty of room in the back too, which I was pleasently suprised about. Fantastic car all-around.

My room mate has an SI sedan that I got to drive around for a couple of weeks. I love Honda but I really wasnt to in to the SI. I dont see what a lot of the hype is surronding this car. Its a nice car but I dont think its all that everyone cracks it up to be. The interior is is hate it or love it and while I dont hate it, I deffinetley dont love it. The seats are comfortable but after 5k miles, his seats were already showing signs of wear along the leg bolsters. I weigh 175 and he weighs 150 so its not like we are fatties or anything so I dunno whats up with that.
If it was me, I would prob go for a Mazda 3.
Cliffs:
Drove car for ~1k over a couple of weeks
Nice car but not what its cracked up to be
I would look into a Mazda 3 (Base or Mazdaspeed)

si vs. speed3 is like a cheaper version of the M coupe vs. Cayman S argument.
when you drive the speed3 (M coupe) you manhandle it and make the road/racetrack your bitch.
when you drive the SI (Cayman S) it’s like every road was designed for it and you carve elegant, fluid lines

I have a Cobalt SS/SC as a dd. It does wonderful. Between that and the civic i would pick the cobalt. But obviously i am biased. Way more power stock with the Cobalt. However you resale value will be way better with the honda. Have you looked into a mazdaspeed 3?

I like the new civic si, the k20 is tits
Although I am a big fan of the Mazda 3. My friend has an 04 Mazda 3 and I absolutely love it. I would check out the Speed 3 as well as the Civic. Test drive a lot of cars before you have your heart set on anything.
I loved having a hatch for a daily when I had my SVT Focus.
