[quote=“RobtC,post:14,topic:30711"”] yea i was at ray laks, they said they price on the si coupe doesn’t budge. they have sedans with a rebate, but i don’t know about a four door yet. i’ve driven plenty of vehicles though, i’ve boiled it down to these two. [/quote] Ray Laks will budge on price, you need to talk to the right people. See Mark Maloney and tell him Tom Marks recommended that you speak with him about a new SI. The coupe is basically the same exact performance as the coupe, and only weighs in a few dozen pounds more, but with two more doors and way more room. (Both rear seats fold down as well) Also, I have HID’s in my SI, and they look great 🙂 ---

Both are great choices. Both cars look hot in white 😉 If you were leaning toward a sedan, then my choice is the honda for sure. Coupe… its a toss up for me too. Both are great cars. I think the honda will win in the end though… My choice =Honda by a nose. Jeller ---

Does the GTI have LSD? If not, Honda. If it does, Honda anyway, because you sell cars too often. ---

i have been in both, and i prefer the gti. hatch backs are nice, and plenty of power. plus you can also get them in a 4 door if you want, and it will ahve a better resale value. ---
