Default Thinking About Getting a JDM EG6

hey guys I live in canada and i'm thinking about getting a JDM eg6. I e-mailed and importing company and they said that they could get me one. I'm looking for the SIR-II model. What I want to know is that should I be getting this car as a daily driver? Is it too loud? is the suspension to hard? also I am not sure if it has a sound system in it. Any info you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

It's a daily driver over there, so what's the problem with it being one over here?

I'm not sure how Canada is on emissions but I'm assuming not strict. As long as it could pass the emissions for your province you should be fine. Not any louder or stiffer or anything.

Jeez, iono why pple think just b/c it'd JDM it's automatically too fast too furious with nitrous, racing suspension, and pre-made to the 9's in the quarter, wtf...

the reason why I want one is because I live in onatrio and it's very hard to find these old civics without any rust. Does this model have a sound system in it? I think I would get bored on long drives without any music lol.

I drive my EG6 daily with no problems
I am assuming that EG6s are from 91 Oct up so you can import then in Canada now?
You have to understand that if the car has a loud exhaust or crappy aftermarket suspension on it then it is same as a US Civic but has a b16/basically GSR brake set up/minor interior-exterior cosmetic differences.
If you are going to import one I suggest you get all the aftermarket stuff you want for the car put on here (Japan) then import it.
I know places here in Japan that can get you one and send it over there

It's not a Type R, it's not a race car, it's got all the amenities of any other civic that you see everyday, but the steering wheel is on the right and it comes stock with a b16a.

it will have some sort of audio deck in it (gathers), but will be useless to anyone here.
