Decision Time!

Hey guys, been a regular visitor to the site for many months, need some opinions from some of the guys in the know!

im 17 and with an auto licence, got budget of around $7000 and purchasing a manual ek civic. Just wondering whether the cxi or gli is the go? also wondering about the power of the ek, will it satisfy a previous 1.8 corolla driver ?

also planning on lowering it, colour coding side mouldings, 15 or 16s and replacing muffler. could anyone suggest some readily avaiable jdm STYLE wheels to suit my needs? cheers!

I was personally in the similar situation a long time ago. I drove a AE94 corolla whilst learning manual.

My suggestion is to go for a integra DC4, as I did. You can get a 94-97 (pre-facelift) for your budget if you do some thorough searching and haggling. Theres good aftermarket support (use DC2 parts) and I'm sure these go faster than a corolla. Just adding another option to a EK.

my 2cents

GLI or CXI no big difference.
GLI has power windows, rear disc brakes and a tacho whereas the CXI doesn't. Nevertheless both are good sensible options. At least youre not like other newcomers who are like..

JUST BOUGHT A FULLY SICK 85 ACCORD
SHOULD BE GETTING MY P'S IN ABOUT A WEEK
GONNA PUT TURBO VTEC AND 20" CHROMIES
ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH POWER IT WILL MAKE?

anyways, welcome to OH :D

lmao evoline summed it up haha :)

GLi > cxi

And the power should be just fine :thumbsup:

gli has more comfort... i should of gotten a gli instead of my cxi but none were in range.. gl dude :D

basically GLI and CXI has the same engine, but GLI is a bit more lux with electric window and mirror.

Hey I didn't know that.Cool,I gots da Gli and it is comfortable,especially after I put in the EK4 seats :)

Gli has rpm gauge as well whereas CXi doesn't from memory.

i was in the same situation as you a few weeks ago til the dc2 vti-r
came my way..i say go for the GLI because it has power windows and a tacho. as for the wheels, go for work wheels :thumbsup:

GLI-power windows,mirrors, driver + Passenger side airbag, rear disc brakes, tacho
CXI-no power windows/mirrors, only driverside airbag, rear drums, no tacho.
as long as the EK you find is under ur budget, low k's, no damage, excellent cond, it doesnt really matter GLI or CXI especially if u plan on modding,

get an integra gsi...test drive one and feel the power..

...or even an LS... frm my experience the power is quite better than most civics.
but hey, im an integra boy, at the end of the day its up 2 u.

yeh im pretty set on a civic, checking out a few on the weekend

cool... dont buy a cxi, its those little luxuries that make all the difference i rekon.

haggle/save and get a sir crx b16a ftw over cxi gli etc :)
