Default RSX-S or EP3?

As some of you may know I have been looking to buy a civic hatch for a while now but now I'm stepping it up and I have about 10 g's to spend. I think I'm gonna go with an ep3 or an rsx-s. What do you guys think would be best for around 10 g's. Just give me some cons and pros. Future plans to either car are i/h/e, suspension, wheels, and I can't really say any further than that until I get there. Thanks

If you can find a rsx-s for under 10g's something might be wrong with it. But if you find a gooder, take it!!!

if you can find one in your price range, get the RSX-S, better engine and better looking

well yea i know the rsx-s has the a2 head instead of the a3 but idk theres just something about hatches i love. whats the stock 1/8 mile times of each does anyone know, just curious to see how the ep3 would do against the rsx-s even though it has the a3 head....

Yea i would def say go with the RSX-s if u can a good one for 10 G's or under. I def think the Hatch is slower but i don't have any numbers or anything to put behind that. But i have seen more hatchs lose, and have seen more RSX's win so ok races. RSX's are also6 speed ibeleave. Personally i would go with the hatch b/c i too have a thing for hatchs they are def sweet. I like the older ones myself.

stcok EP3 runs like a 16sec 1/4mile and a stock DC5 runs like a 15sec 1/4mile. technically the DC5 is also a hatch.

Any year match of an integra vs. a civic the integra will win, so if you're looking for the faster one, get the RSX. Personally, I doubt you'd find one for under 10k...
