Default Suggestions on a new car

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.

if you do a trade make sure you do it at a honda dealership so you can get more for a "certified" honda then just trading at a regular dealership.

do not trade it in! what ever you do dont trade it in.. the big cut in what they give u and what ur car is worth on private market is not worth it.. put it on autotrader and sell it yourself.. i sold my accord in 3 days i paid got the $39 package.. but what ever u do if u want the most money out of ur car u sell it..

I have an '07 Si sedan and love it, while the dash may be kind of weird at first I love the instrument design. I have to admit the car feels really big from the passenger seat, but from the driver's seat it is much better, especially once you start driving it.

The coupe fans are just compensating for the sedan's increased stability and rigidity thanks to a longer base and the B pillar.

j/k


well, sort of, there is a reason why the Type-R, like all JDM civics is a sedan
