Both are going to be manual transmission. I want the ex because it has waaaay better mpg. the only think i don't like about the si, is that i need to use premium fuel. other than that, i really want it. the civic ex, it's not as "fun to drive" as the si. :[ personally, i like the looks of the si sedan than the ex coupe. should i just buy the si and put in premium fuel? idk T_T
