IMO, the new onces are really nice, but if it were up to me i like the 99-00 si's the best and I would get one of those. But that being said, those care are already at the youngest 8 years old.

I know Honda will fix the 3rd gear issue for you on the new ones, and if your worried about that, idk if the scoobie is for you. WRX's have notoriously fragile trannys. I've seen 2 blow out on my freinds in the 3 years he had it, then he got so pissed he sold it. Granted he drove the car pretty hard, but part of the reason you want an si is to be able to drive it hard.

The scoobie is great but they also have there problems too. Hondas and toyotas tend to be more robust and reliable just my opinion.
