need YOUR advice...

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 would be greatly appreciated.
