AHHHH! Dilemma!

Ok, to start off, I am by no means a "trust fund baby." I drive two hours home every weekend (each way) in the midst of school to work for my parents. In return, my mom pays for my Integra. It's been in the shop quite a few times and she's sick of paying for things I can't pay for, I guess. (It's in the shop right now.)

Here's the dilemma: Just now, she proposed trading in "my baby" and getting a 2002 Civic EX for me because the APR % is low and there's a warranty. Now I am not one to turn down a new car, but the newer Civics are GROSS and SLOW! (No offense to anyone who has one, I personally don't like anything about it.)

Now I have decided to stop modding my current car so if I got the new car, I wouldn't do anything to it anyway. (Except maybe strap a turbo in there so my mom wouldn't know...) She's really adamant about this trade-in and I hate to tell her "no" after all she's done for me, but I'm really fond of the Teg. I told my neighbor about it (he's also my mechanic) and he thinks it's not a bad idea, but he also said "You're car's really nice."

The decision is all up to me, but my mom likes to give the "silent guilt trip." You know, making you feel bad without actually arguing against you.

What would you guys do?
