Default EK vs EG wheelbase
Ok after watching the BMI Type R video, Mr. Spoon pointed out that EKs have a longer wheelbase than DC2/EGs...

I did further research which yields:

EK wheelbase: 2.62m (all hatchbacks)
EG wheelbase: 2.57m (same as Integra coupes)

(Ok, this isn't news for many ppl I know)

Interesting... but where is the extra length? Rear passenger leg room?

whats wrong? because of this extra wheel base, EK civic can go into a high speed corner more stable.

How does wheel base affect handeling? The shorter the wheelbase the easier it is to rotate the car right?

Oh I was just being sarcastic.

What are the different track (width) of these cars
