EK, i have an EG, but i wanted to buy an EK because of the front end is hawwt, and the rear taillights looks sick. But i cant complain, i got my EG for 1400 bux with 95,000 miles on it!! used to be GREEN, had VX wheels on it.. this is what it looks like now..

Its all up to what you like...I think there are more available parts for the eg as you can use almost everything from a dc in an eg, plus the whole obd1 versus obd2 thing.

The EK is wider longer stiffer and more stable and safer. The EG is the EG

The EK is a better car hands down but for some people the EG is classic

my first car as an ej6. but it all depends on what you like. i dont like threads like this because all it does is get EG/EK lovers in here telling you to get this or that.also tell us more about what you are looking for. you using it for a daily driver? how much is in your budget? im guessing your maybe around 16-18 because you said its your first car sooo....get the eg pocket the money you save and buy a swap.
