Hey guys,

I hope I've come to the right place to ask a few questions about potentially buying a Civic! I'm looking at EG or EKs as I really like the look of both!

So I've searched the net for EG vs EK but can't seem to find much that applys to aus (tones of us civic forums!)

So I want to know whats better out the EG and EK in terms of..

  1. Fuel:
    what gets more or less? (I do some traveling and sometimes have to transport client, cheaper the fuel the better!). Eks are newer but egs are lighter..

  1. Reliability:
    their are very similar but is one more reliable then the other? (under the same conditions, I know the EK have OBD2 so does that make finding and fixing problems easier?

  1. Avaliability of parts:
    EGs are older so there might be more parts around? while also in terms of OEM type parts, how about aftermarket, is there more or less for either or?


Also do these 3 things change for Sedan (2 door and 4 door) vs Hatch?

While some of it is subjective, I cant figure out what would be better for me and what I like more, why do they all have to be so good haha. but fuel and reliability seem to be the big winners for me. I'd also be looking at a d16 if that helps.

Thanks for your help guys! Back to looking at build threads
