I think you are going to get a variety of answers here. Both are good cars to mod. In my opinion it all comes down to the individual.Quote:

Depends on how much you are willing to pay for a car.
ek4 (vti-r's) are roughly 12-16k these days.
eg5 (vti) roughly 6-8k.
personal preference. ask urself wat u really want and just fukn get it.
pretty much if you ask an eg driver they will say eg ask and ek driver they will say ek. i prefure the shape of eg which is why i went with them and as said above dc2 pasts are easily switched over other then that ive drivin my mates ek and they feel hardly different both nice cars just imo ek<eg
a question no one can answer..its like asking whats the best colour or best number..its personal preference.
however, in terms of me..i like EK, since its newer, better interior and facelift EK ftw
How about performance wise ???
are they like the same speed ?
lol. its all depends which model you choose. as in if you choose and EG you have breeze, gli, vti, si and some other variants. while EK has cxi, gli, vti, vti-r etc
all the variants will offer either different performance characteristics such as diff brakes and engine or accessories like interior electrics etc etc
the EK vti-r come's factory with the B16a in there which imo is the better engine then the rest of the choices, unless you get the import EG6 which is the jap spec EG which also comes with the B16A but being japspec its tiny bit more potent
make your choise and spend your cash
Depends what you are comparing. Neither base models are quick.Quote:

there would be a pretty big difference in performance wise..
im sure there's plenty of b16a haters out there.. but IMO theyre still a great motor to mod. maybe because everyones so concentrated on power to weight and conversions and totally disregard the b16a all together maybe because of cost wise and bang for buck i guess..
stock for stock EK vtir owns any stock au EG.
depends on your plans for the car..
any other models of the EG and EK si/gli/cxi and so on are probably very similiar in power and performance.. not that great.
such a bad question to ask, but depends on budget, personal preference to shape, are you doing it up for bling, race, JDM Spec, USDM spec, etc etc. Then you have to think do you want a four, three or two door. Have a look at a few of your mates, see what you fancy, it's one of those things you'll have to decide on yourself. One is not better than the other, they're equally as good imo, my 2c anyways
check in the clean EK/EM/EJ thread
and check in the EG/EH thread
it may give you some sort of inspiration and prob would help you choose the civic you want
