Default Which model EG should i choose as a starting point?

Looking at some specs, and i was wondering which would be the best model to purchase for an EG Hatch. These are the things i was looking at for 92-95 Hatch.

Engine Civic CX Hatch Civic DX Hatch Civic VX Hatch Civic Si

Horsepower @ rpm 70 @ 5000 102 @ 5900 92 @ 5500 125 @ 6600

Torque 91@ 2000 98 @ 5000 97 @ 4500 106 @ 5200

WEIGHT - MT2108 2178 2094 2390

Thanks in advance!

If you plan of doing a swap then a cx/dx/vx is yur best bet as they are cheaper and lighter. If not, then an SI is your best starting point due to the superior engine. Just don't get mad at me when you buy an SI, then decide to do a swap and find out how fat an SI really is.

CX/VX are the lightest but you can make any chassis light. I am currently using a Si and its working good.

Ignore the weights... the Si is the only one that's really different. All the others tend to end up the same once you start working on them.
