id say 99-00si civic. only downfall is that MOST SIs are theft recovery or rebuilts. which isnt really a bad thing is repaired properly with correct parts!
either way before you buy run some carfax reports and inspect the cars really good for any damage or replaced parts that dont belong.LOL

Yea but the 99-01 look way better then 92-96, at least IMO. But i also though the 99-01 pushed an even 200 10 more hp then the previous gen

yea, i thought so too. i looked on wikipedia to double check what i thought though and it said 184hp for the 99-01 SH
i think wikipedia is f'd up, you're right it's 200hp
