well i am thinking of getting a new car and i came up with these models. basicaly i need a reliable car, cheap on gas, good performance. maybe you or somebody u know had one of the cars let me know if it's any good or what not

cibs

i would've picked accord, but i'm not a fan of that body, they're everywhere, i guess a civic isn't much better cuz they're everywhere also, but yeah...

corolla's are ugly IMO
and nissans suck lol

You don't want a Nissan from that time period.

punkindrublic

since this is a civic site let me offer the obvious answer... 1996-1998 civic ex

imported_Joker

96-98 civic SEDAN... even though im a fan of the 99-00 , this was the only option up there

ewwwwwwwwwww corolla ...way too many f those, and i wouldnt drive one unless it was the type S

imported_~ILLEST CIV~

I'd go with an accord or civic......either is a good choice

spracingsports

civic no doubt

Dmitri

does the 96-98 ex(4dr) have vtec? cause it got same hp as the SI model

Notorious

Id go for the civic.

BBProductions

civic club site? hmmm i wonder what results u'll get

VikJae

no the civic doesnt have vtec. i drive a 97 civic ex, no vtec just SOHC. really good on gas too but that depends on how u drive the car.
id say go for the accord b/c u get more power and the body is really nice.
the 97 accord is the smaller one with the red/white lights on the rear.
the 98 accord is bigger and has those long lights across the back.

personally tho id go for one of the accords, if u want a smaller car, pick the 97, if u want a larger car, drive the 98. my uncle has the 2dr 98 accord and he pulls about 700kms per tank and says the power is amazing.
go with the accord man

Dmitri

ya that's the one i like too the 98 ACCORD model. the reason why i asked if 96-98 sedan has vtec is because Si model has same horspower:

Coupe trim: Si(coupe)
1.6L 127 hp I4
127 @ 6600 RPM
107 @ 5500 RPM
Coupe trim:ex(sedan)
1.6L 127 hp I4
127 @ 6600 RPM
107 @ 5500 RPM

same specs

imported_GoldBadge

That's an American EX. Canadian EX is not VTEC powered, thus, 107 hp D16Y7 Powerplant.

VikJae

american EX is the canadian SI

the canadian EX is the top end 4dr... all power, air, blah blah blah options but no vtec. its a family car man

Dmitri

thnx. and what's the deal with acura 1.6 el, looks just like civic,just diff lights

imported_kIeRaN

its made by acura, usually more of a luxury car but pretty much the same as a civic otherwise

Nova_Dust

If you want 4 dr EX with D16Y8 from the States, ask bdotdan. He drives one and he is trying to sell that thing for ages. Silver, runs good.

Dr.K

It better be Manual or YOUR A PUSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol.
And your insurance rate's shoud dictate your purchase. Also what you want. The civic can be the sportiest of the Bunch but Accords are alright. But anything on your list in Auto would be lame

VikJae

lol the accord would be doing circles around the civic. sporty???
go look at some pics of the 97 accord done up. looks REALLY nice. i even seen this one vid of a 98 accord, white, CF hood, lowered on black rims and a gtr wing (.... no comment on the wing) going around a track. looked amazing.
get the accord dude. good investment

GinoLicious

Buddy has a 98 accord exV6 or something like that. Very good car, very nice looking. By the way he has it in that metallic grey and sedan model.
