Hey All,

Just trying to do some research before later this year when my wife will be upgrading her EG Civic D15 engined 4 door.

She will be happy to get a late 97-98 EK, but I would like to get maybe a 2002 EP ? is that the model designation for that one? as I would like the car to be newer if we are going to keep it for a few years.

Can anyone give me some good advice on the good/bad points of these cars? If we get an EK, is there any model here (4 door ) that came with a B16A ? or are they all SOHC Vtec?

What is the engine in the 2002 onwards cars like? I think it's a 1.7 right? but again only SOHC, there is no way I will be able to do a half-cut swap with her permission, so want to get the next best, so any ideas/help would be good.

Oh, and being from Hong Kong she wants silver coloured (blah) and a Camry, so I CAN"T LET THIS HAPPEN....

It must be a Civic :)
