gsi or cxi?

[astrob0y_]

hi, im contemplating on which car to get
its only going to be used for a daily, so im looking for a cheap car
anyways i was wondering which car would have a better resale value in the future?
thanks

[Q_ball]

fact: both are relatively old now
fact: both are relatively gutless
fact: teg = 1.8, civic = 1.6 - therefore teg has more torque which is always good in daily traffic.

other things you need to note as well as answer yourself...
a) which cars look do you like better?
b) which cars insurance can i afford? - the teg will probably cost more to insure as its a 2 door "sports car"

Resell value will be about the same for both, assuming both are stock.
Both in stock form will fetch a value up to 10k, obviously depending on kms, condition etc.

they both look alright to me, i've driven both and seem the same.
both have their ups and downs. im planning to get only third party fire and theft, so its the same price.
thanks for the advice

the cxi will be more fuel efficient & cheaper to run.

resale should be fairly close on both.

Thats something that i've forgotten... fuel economy.
1.6 will be a lot better on fuel!
d16 with a light foot will net you close to 500 every tank, whereas the b18b will net you 400 if you're lucky!

If you're only getting 3rd party, then i'd say the CXi will be the cheaper option for you overall.

In my circumstances, you will have to be very lucky to net 400km for a tank with the dc4

[Boban]

just my 2c, but i say cxi, for some reason i like the hatch shape over the coupe (and yet i drive a sedan:confused:), i get over 500 per tank easy from my d16 and that's with a vtec session or 2

but in the end whatever appeals to you more, you are the one who will have to look at it and drive it daily

ek1 vs dc4 :P

Imo they use about the same amount of petrol

[noobie90]

Have you considered the EG hatches?? They are an alright loking car :D Anyways jst my two cents

a b18b gets only 400kms max? so your saying that majority of integra's run 10L/100kms?

[hussLEr]

Do you like your electronic options?..because the CXI lack electric windows, electric mirrors and electric sunroof. Not to mention also 4 wheel disc brakes and a tachometer(unless you plan to retro fit some afterwards?..)

Overall...I think the dc4 is a "better" package, eventhough I do agree with Qball that both are gutless!..

If the above mentioned options are things that you can do without/live without, then I guess, it's down to looks, and the fuel consumption?..

Goodluck.

I'd agree with tegs doing 10L/100km

[hisoka]

dont get cxi, manual windows ftl.

Not quite what i said before, but now that you mention "all integras"... both dc2 and dc4 will be about the same - assuming both are stock standard.

[jks24]

go for the cxi mate, i got one with 83000kms on it and it has never let me down. Ideal first car and there is plenty of potentional in it if you want to spend the money

[s2ky_]

as for fuel consumption- i drive my cxi to work everyday from banks -> nth sydney
and i get fairly close to 500kms/tank (only fill up once a week - $45)

small car - easy to park, pretty spacious for a hatchback
(can be used to deliver a jdm dc2r bonnet if needed... ha!)

[defect]

having own both, I say get a dc4 as ek1 lack in power options

doesnt have power windows, mirrors and if your getting a cxi, no tacho.

[Raztaz]

then get a GLi lol, not too much more, cxi only has drums on the rear as well instead of discs

Should be:

gsi or gli?
