hx has d15y5
si has b16a2

 

which model besides the SI would be considered the best???

 

ex...depends what you want to use it for..

 

well my friend was just gonna use it as a dd

 

I personally own a '96 Civic CX and it's perfect for a daily driver. The D16Y7 is an absolutely gutless engine, but does get you very nice gas milage and is quite quiet and as reliable as any other Honda engine. Any of the Civic lineup will do you fine for a daily driver. The Si will eat up more gas, though, if that's your concern.
