Hey everyone! My name's Chris and i'm in the market for a civic. (no this isn't a WTB thread) . .. I've been looking at civics around the years of 95-01 . Through some research i understand that the EX model has the most hp. I was wondering what years and models some with the VTEC-installed engine. I want to start my civic off right with the best possible engine. Thanks! And i look forward to getting to know all of you!

can anybody help me out so i can go ahead and start car shopping for the right car?

Thanks

 

yeah the EX has 127HP and has VTEC designed for performance where the HX also has VTEC and 127HP but of an economical design over performance. The other models like DX and CX have 106HP and they do not have VTEC. So yes the EX would be the best way to go or if you want to go even more performance wise look into the SI which has even more HP than the EX. As for which years are the best.. everyone has their own preferences, I like the 6th gen (96-00) but if you are looking into modding your engine alot, there are alot more mods for the older gens like the 5th and 6th and I'm pretty sure they respond better to engine mods than the newer gens but I could be wrong.

yeah, i'm looking for something that's gonna be easy on my wallet and insurance ( so the Si probably wouldn't be the way to go. .especially because it's 2 door)

so let me get this straight.. ALL EXs come with VTEC?
