Ya know, as opposed to no testicles.

Here's the deal: I'm looking for a moderately-nutted vehicle for my current S/O to use while I'm working. A zippy little commuter car with some balls. It isn't supposed to be a Camaro or an Evo. I'm thinking five speed four banger with two doors. Price range is $15k, so it'll be lightly used (buying a new car isn't frugal enough for me). I've found a healthy number that are under 35k miles.

The two main contenders:

- Chevrolet Cobalt SS
- Honda Civic SI

I've picked these two models because I'm most familiar with them under the hood. I'm far from a mechanical genius, but I've learned to do more than just change the oil and brake pads.

So... automobile gurus of TFP... park your learnin' upon my feeble brain.

Thoughts on my two choices? Experiences with these vehicles? Knowledge of the engines? Jokes?
