Biased opinion= 99-00 EX coupe. (and I saw your project thread saying you wanted one possibly)

I agree with supersize about the EM1 (stated in your project thread), I'd be too worried about someone wanting to steal it. EP3s aren't a favorite of mine.

Also, your insurance will probably go up from totaling the Civic, I chose the cheapest to insure from your list in the poll, too.

EJ1 > everything on that list


If I had to choose from the list, I'd go EJ8. EP3's look like mini-vans and have the retarded half-brother of the k20a3, not to mention you can't slam them like you can EF/EG/EKs. Everyone seems to think their EM1's are made of solid gold or something, and tend to ask double the KBB value. I still see people asking $10k+ for a 10-year old civic.

EJ8's are cheap, easy to slam, have one of the best single-cam engines honda has made, and parts are cheap and easy to find (HF manifold, anyone?). Not to mention the b16a2 creates 7 ft*lbs of torque more than the d16y8. That's not a lot.

EX is definately the only one worth it...

If you are a soccer mom than get the EP3, If you find the best deal on the planet then get the EM1, but dam the EM1's are overpriced. Its rediculous......

EJ8... You could buy one cheaper than an EM1 and have enough to swap the same motor in and do upgrades. Plus cheaper insurance. EP3s are just ugly, slow and overpriced.
