Personally I am not a fan of the scions. Its just something about them. I am a honda fan so IF you are considering the other cars listed I would go with either the rsx-s or the civic si. Also I believe honda is coming out with a new model si for 06. So if you wait you could either get the new si or, if you dont like them, you could probably get a new si for dirt cheap when the new model comes out. Just a thought.
