1.5 liter vs 1.6 liter, whatever you can get a better deal on. outside the are they same, inside they are slightly different. parts for the d16 will be a little more common, generally.

i would go ahead and take the 1.6 liter

replplacement and aftermarket repair parts are more common, and if your girls wants that extra hp, there are alot of small mods other than turbo that she can do

I'd go with the JDM D15B vtec due to the more aggressive cam it has.
