I chose the SRT-4 because it's the best bang for your buck. Period. Price isn't too shabby either.

With that said, there's a problem. You may want to start heavily modding it once you realize how well it reacts to mods.

 

SRT4

 

yes, but there is also ones that go for less... I was just trying to offer a different angle.

 

The scion isn't even a performance car (imo) where the others are. If you want a fast car for cheap go with the srt4 and if you want a nice all around car with some pep go for the si.

 

jus bought an 03 ep3 with 39k miles and i love it...

 

SRT4- Four doors, 13 sec stock, potential
Si- mileage, Hatch, Honda reliability
Tc- Mileage, resale value, not ugly (debatable)
All- Relativey new, Easily found with low miles

I Voted SRT-4, more room, faster, and potential, But the drawbacks to all three is the possibility of someone goig FnF on the Tranny and Engine. But the decision is ultimately up to you, don't let a online poll waver yur decision in the end

 

i'd go with the civic but maybe im biased lol... the scion is a gay girl car, and the neon is a dodge... i just couldnt stomach buying a dodge but the srt does seem pretty nice and fast. the ep3 wouldnt be my first choice for a civic though. maybe a EK CTR. good luck with your search! keep us updated!

 

I voted civic but then I realized what an Ep3 was. I'd go with the scion. It's just the best looking out of the 3 and gets great gas mileage. The srt is just ugly and it's the most annoying POS (IMO) on the road. All I can think of is VROOOOOMMMM POP POP POP POP when you mention an SRT-4.

 

Personally, id say the srt, not because I drive one but simply, if you want a car that decently powered stock, srt4 is the most powerful by far. You will notice a difference in just about every mod you do, but if your goin to to get one, get someone who has one to go with you. That way they can help spot out areas where the car might have been modded then returned to stock and get a carfax on it, alot of srt4s have been wecked. Or buy mine. Never wrecked, has ben beaten on a few times, but is well maintained and babied, and I have a ton of people who can vouch for me. I cut a 13.8 stock in it, but I have no idea what it'll do with my mods

 

Sentra Spec V , might be another good choice for you. BUt Out of those three, I think the best Daily Driver would probably be the TC. The Neon would be fun, but Its good to be a little more low key in the daily. Its not fun getting pulled over twice a month, when you are just trying to get to work. The Civic wouldnt be bad either, but eh....I just like the look of the TC, and the Glass roof is a cool thing for a dd.
