EG6s come from other places besides Japan. Most of Europe is LHD. So not all real EG6s have to be RHD. They do all have a B16A in them though.

A real EG6 is a 5th gen Civic hatch that came with a stock B16A (or some other variation on that engine).

Not all EG6s are RHD because they're not all from Japan.

the EG will have more support for parts and whatnot, but they are also hotter for being stolen then the DA. The DA is bigger and heavier so it will handle nice... hatches sometimes tend to have a "tippy" feeling cause they are so light.

IDK about that one. i drove my friends 93 integra with a tein basic damper setup and my 92 hatch (same setup) feels A LOT more solid. his feels kinda big and sloppy on turns and softer than mine. my car just feels...better. i was gonna get a DA but im glad i got the hatch cuz its just a lot more fun to drive. but either way theyre both hondas so u cant go wrong

i have both an EG and a DA i guess it depends on what you wanna do, alot of people down the DA because its heavy... but still today the fastest car ive been in is my friends brothers DA that had a boosted type r and it had over 650 whp..
also the DA just looks like the muscle car of hondas... my DA has a b20z with a gsr head with cams and vavletrain and it gets up and goes.... plus you can deff make the look jdm hottness id thats what you into... but dont get me wrong, i also have an EG with a fully built all-motor h22a... the EG has more capability of just being an all out street car or track car for the less price of what the DA would run you... it just depends what your looking for.... personally, if its done right i think an EG would handle just as good or if not better than a DA.. my friends autocross's and backroads his hatch he has a gsr w/s2 control arms, integra sway bar, strut bars, and camber kit ( adjustable control arm) with tokico blues and eibach ground controls, and i cream a lil bit everytime i ride with him

if this will be a long term project i would go with a DA just because i like the ride and comfort so much more. they feel way more sound in everyday driving situations.

if this is something you plan to sell relatively soon i would say EG only because resale is SOOOOO much higher on them.

i have owned 4 DA's and 3 EG's i prefer the DA ride but the EG look.

but dont base your decision on what we think, hell i prefer EF over EG in ride. something about the EG ride just doesnt feel right to me.

I've owned both... Actually those are the only 2 cars that i've owned.

I like my EG more honestly, but I loved my DA as well...
