Default How does a 96-00 EX civic coupe compare to a 95-98 200sx SE?

I know the 200sx has less power 115hp VS 127hp and the torque is the same I think at 108ft/lbs. And they both get 30 mpg in the city. How do they compare accelerationwise? Is the sentra light enough to make up for the power disadvantage? Which is more "fun" to drive? Thanks for any info

I would get the Civic simply because of the aftermarket potential. Doesn't seem to be as much out there for the 200SX.

So the Ex responds well to Bolt-ons? Header, catback, etc. I probably won't swap the engine out or anything since it's a daily driver.

THat shouldn't be a reason not to swap an engine. It's just as reliable as the slow SOHC 127hp EX engine if installed correctly.

my opinion the civic ex has the advantage against the 200sx-se, but if it was the se-r, the civic gonna get smoked!

And then I eat up both the SI and the SE-R.
