Default Which car to pick?

Im looking to get a new car in the next few months. Ive basically narrowed it down to two cars. They are 94+ Integras(LS) and 96+ Civics(EX). Can u guys give me some pros and cons of each? Or which one you'd prefer?

Thanks

The Integra has more potential starting off. You have a DOHC higher displacement motor that makes more power than a SOHC 1.6L. Now although the EX is VTEC it doesn't even matter. I've driven 96+ EX and when "VTEC kicks in" you can hear it, but you can't feel it haha.

IMO I think if you can swing an LS definitely get it over the Civic. Integras look "sportier" than a Civic (although they're both economy cars).

Just my .02

Haha. Hey man I'm gonna be in that boat too, but right now the MPG will out weigh the speed. I'm sure after I get used to getting 30+MPG a swap will be due.

I'm very well used to it, and nothing looks to be in the future. No swaps, no snails...hell a paint job is looking to be pushed back again. I've almost hit the year mark since I got my front end on and it still needs more work. I should of never got a JDM front end.

No way. 87 octane is like crack. You won't want to give it up.

Haha you're probably right dude. I use 87 now, but I have to fill up a 22 gallon tank.

13 gallon tank, filling up twice a month, sometimes once and a half a month is so nice. You'd still be good if you have the T/A still, since they get awesome gas mileage for what they are.

Yeah the TA got great mileage on the highway. Not so much in the city especially after I got my exhaust cause I always wanted to hear it.

But filling up a 17 gallon tank with premium sucked too. I'm doomed.
