I'd say Civic because I like the new ones better than the Scion Tc, though only by a little bit.

They both suck IMO, recent Civics aren't the best tunung object. As for Scion, it sux by definition, especially the xB coffin. Buy an older generation used Civic if you want any much Honda performance.

Don't bother with a Civic at all, go for a CRX if you want Honda.

I cannot confirm nor deny my car can do 220kph...

16,000-21,000 thats enough for R32-R33 Skyline GT-R (in finland)

but i guess you are from US?... so GT-R's price would be twice more in there
so in that case its better to get Z31 300ZX or Mk3 Supra or FC3S RX-7

Re: What Car Would You Get

Stay away from scion, no substance only marketing strategies there. Can't go wrong with a honda and there are loads of things to do to it if you want to tune. You really should look into certified pre-owned stuff, you might be able to grab an RSX in that price-range if you go used. If you can get past some people's opinions VW has some nice cars with stuff like the Jetta GLI that use the 1.8 turbo engine which has TONS of tuning options, and the car looks great stock (although it would have to be used since they changed the jetta to its new uglier body).

Best advice is to test drive everything possible, even cars above or under your pricerange. When I was looking for my car I drove i think around 20 cars (in addition to the dozens I had driven before) including the new 530i, an RSX type-S, 2001 audi S4, 2005 A4, toyota tacoma, ford ranger and explorer sport-trac, lexus IS, honda accord, subaru impreza and forester. I ended up with a Nissan Xterra but the experience of driving all of those other cars gave me the info I needed to pick what was right for me.

Also, used doesn't mean used-up. I'm the second owner of my xterra and I havn't had a single mechanical problem with it, its a 2001 which I picked up last year but it only had 15k miles on it. In a lot of cases you can get more car for the money when you go used, as long as you make sure its not a lemon.
