PS: I'm actually not purchasing one. Just wondering what everyone like more

 

First of all, lmao.

Second of all: the type s and fa5 share most of the same components. you are gonna get more luxury items in the type-s like leather, heated seats, navigation, and a jdm styled car. engine is the k20z3 which is the same in both cars, 197hp. Low end torque is a joke like in all honda cars so you really have to rev the shiz out of these cars to get the performance, but v-tec is very noticible once you hit it thanks to the DOHC. The sound of these cars hitting 8k redline is pretty badass as well.

Third: Don't be upset when I pass you in my JCW Cooper S :p

Oh and you should come to one of the local 8thcivic meets with me some time if you are serious. There is local members with both cars.

 

I voted for the CSX but only because we don't have them in the states.

 

same motor, it's more like driver vs driver.

 

The Acura will be easier to sell down the road or if you decide to trade it in you'll get a better trade in value. The Acura appeals to a larger demographic.

 

from what i can tell since we dont have these in USA you should get the acura and do a jdm type R conversion haha so take the acura and TURN it into a pimp civic lol cuz it has the same headlights and tail lights as the jdm type r lol and the si is just an si :P my 2 cents

 

i don't really like the styling of either. the civic coupe is hot but i absolutely hate the sedans tail lights. the CSX looks more like a base model than an SI to me in terms of styling.

 

Same car.... only one comes with a dozen more options and better resale value.... and isn't availalbe in the USA.

 

Why is this a comparison between the same cars? ;)

I say neither. FD2 ftw :D
