Base v. TT
 

As an 18 year old looking for a sweet daily driver, should the 5 speed non turbo model provide me with enough power and handling? I would maybe race random civics on the highway, but no serious racing.

are you looking in the future to do performance modifications? if so, i would say go with the turbocharged. if not, stick with the non-turbo. you will still be able to beat the civics
