If you can find A GLi, I would say go for that. It is just a bit more modern in its features, but it has the same engine as the Cxi. I guess the Cxi would go a bit better because it doesn't weigh as much?

I would agree with saying to avoid the red. I mean, it looks great. but it fades rather quickly. have a look at the civic vti civics (EK4). They have a better engine and better features.
