which ONE to choose?

[justblaze]

to make it quick, here's my dilema: ** (1) Acura 1.6 EL (2) Civic SI (3) Civic EX. ** the problem is i'm lookin to purchase one of these types of cars. I just want something i can drive and something realiable, not really lookin to soup it up or anything, but i do like the look and the factory performance that these has to offer. i'm not too knowledgable enough to make the right decision so i was hoping someone here could help me.

my questions are, what are the differences between these vehicles? I'm looking to purchase a 97-00 model by the way. I've read that they all run a SOHC VTEC so what else would make them different? i'm willing to spend about $8000-$10000.

furthermore, what is the difference between a Civic SiR and SiG? they both have dual overhad cams right?

haha oh and also one more thing, how does milage compare with how old the vehical is? for example: which would be better? a well built 98 civic with 100000 km or a 00' civic with 130000km? (know what i mean..?)

Thanks. any input or other advice would be greatly appreciated.

SiG ... never heard of it, i would just go ith an integra gsr, but thats jsut me, i would suppose if you want the best performance, the si would be ur best bet
most the models between 96-00 are the same in the civic line with a few differance between 98-99 i think, but anyway jsut get the least miles, years are silly if ur gonna get the same gen.

yeah either way look for low miles if your not wantin to make the car a racer or lok it look good. i personally like the SI
