Hello, I've posted this question in a few other forums and wanted to see what everyone's opinion is here.

I was looking to get a TSX to replace my 95 Integra. My teg had cloth seats and this would be my first car with leather (I only could wish it was offered in cloth). The problem is that I was reading people have had problems with leather wear in their TSX, and since I primarily wear jeans that this is a big no no with cars that have leather seats as the denim wears the leather.

So I've been looking at the Civic as I would like to get a car that has a similar size as my teg. Problem is that I can't get over the hideous dash. While I don't like the two tier dash, I can't get over how large the dash is. Something just does not look good with the design.

Looking at the Accord, the 08 sedan is enormous...I don't know if I could get used to the size of it. The coupe looks good but I'm worried loosing the extra two doors for throwing stuff into the back.

I guess my only other option is getting a used 2005 Civic. While I don't want to get a used car I think I would rather have something used which I like.

Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.
