But definitely younger at heart!

Nice color choice too!

By any chance did she get bluetooth?
(I've wondered how Honda's bluetooth is, my Audi bluetooth can be flakey with my BB).

TSX. Its a nicer car. The Civic Si is very sweet, but the TSX is more car for the money - and somebody already took what little 'initial' depreciation hit there was.

Both are good cars, however...I drive a 2007 TSX on a regular basis - and also drive a Civic daily...the steering feel is what turns me off about the TSX. I love the engine torque, and all the Acura foo-foos...but the feel!! I wish I could take the steering out of my Civic and put it in the TSX.

You really can't go wrong with either car.

I'm betting insurance is less on the TSX too...the Civic Si is typically higher on insurance, again because of younger drivers.

TSX. K24a2 > K20z3

Besides the engine and tranny, the interiors WAY nicer

I'm your age and don't feel weird driving an Si sedan. It's a lot of fun and I enjoy it, but I can't compare it to a TSX as I haven't driven one. Drive both and see which one you like better and screw the losers who want to judge you based on your car and who they think should be driving it.

Definitely. Lower chance of theft also.

I am at the same exact point. I am looking for a used 08-09 FD2. But I was looking at TSXs also. I am pretty sure I will get the civic becuase it seems like it will be more fun to drive. I am still young at 25 and single without kids. So that kind of helps my decision towards the twisty roads and not the straight easy highway ride to disney.
