Default best civic?

I am looking for unmodded d/d that is reliable, economical and good looking. I found that a civic would be a good choice. Now that you know what I am looking for, what civic would be the best for me?A 5 speed 4 door, coupe or hatchback (last choice). 92-95 Are they all basically the same or is there a certain model that is a better choice? I would like to have creature comforts and options like a sun roof or what not if possible, but not nessisary.

Just get yourself an EX 4dr or 2dr. 4dr will be cheaper on insurance...2dr you won't have to carry people around all the time. Easy choice right there. Probobly get either for under 5k easy. I got my 93 EX Coupe for 2800. Just make sure it has everything you want...cause AC, ABS Brakes, and some other things are not standard. I don't have ABS...but I have everything else. And I've seen a few without AC.

since you plan to keep it stock, I'd go with a DX, LX, Si, or EX. the motors in the CX and VX aren't the best for a DD if you have hills nearby. but then again no stock motor in a honda civic is desireable.

mnbv, just ignore some of the retarded comments... average h-t post ******.
