MS3 all the way. You are making the right choice. My friend has modded his, (new rail pump, springs, sways, intake, turbo inlet pipe, and a tune and its a blast) Handles surprisingly well too

The MS3 would be more fun to drive around and own. I think the Mazda is more of a driver's car, but the Si would be easier to live with day to day. Also a lot fewer MS3's... around me anyways. If you're into modding, the parts bin selection advantage goes to the Si, but you probably already know that. The Civic has been modded to death though and it's nearly impossible to do something original with that car.

I personally would skip those two and go with a Mini Cooper or wait for the BRZ.

MS3 have awesome resale value...

m4a1mustang · 04-12-2012, 10:58 AM

Sounds like you need to step back and think some more.

k20z3 · 04-12-2012, 11:01 AM

I just want an honest answer
Reliability
Resale

Mini is a fun car. It's like a go kart and will surprise you.

Actually of all those choices I would wait until summer so you can see the FRS/BRZ . Same power as civic si, but to the proper wheels.
