I have a 96 EK and I got a chance to check out my friends 2002 si hatchback, and I wasnt impressed. I MUCH perfer my older hatch I just think it looks much cleaner outisde and inside. Here are some things I liked and didnt like

Liked
-K20!
-Very nice seats
-Nice steering wheel
-push button start

Didnt like
-The shifter is in a weird position
-Everything feels "plasticy"
-The car looks alot like the fit which is very ugly IMO
-The whole dash looks lame IMO.
-The headlights look terrible

(these arent pics of his car, just pics off google)



So I would NOT trade my EK for a newer hatchback, would you trade your car for the newer version?

 

No I am true to the 92-95

 

yep i would never buy an ep3
they look ugly and even though the k20 is pretty powerful, the em1 will keep up if not beat those things

ur right the interior looks like **** but the seats are sex

 

id never trade my SiR... maybe buy a new one but let go of it no way

 

x2

 

 

Older hondas just feel alot better to drive IMO they seem more durable, it's hard to explain.

 

True to my 96-98 hatches... kinda why I have 2.

 

I would never trade or sell my 94' hatch to get a newer Honda. I actually sold an 05' civic so I could get the 94' and I don't regret it at all.

 

I love my 96 civic and i wouldnt trade it for any newer year.

 

haha...i have always wanted to ask this question on HT. yes...the 5th and 6th gen honda civics are DEF the best. But my friend has one of the newer HB Si's as well...and i DO NOT like it at all!!! there is nothing in that car i like...K20?? its the wEaK 5spd. now one of the NEWER coupe or 4door Si's are pretty cool...but i still would not trade my 95 for one.

 

x4

 

I would trade my 98 for a 92-95. If the new one had no miles I would trade, just because its worth more than my 98.

 

No, it looks like a mini van, interior is terrible, ugly design.

EK EP3 / (Shortened Honda Odessey)

 

muff that. i would like to have a 92-00 chassic civic, but i'm really not a fan of the ep3's. they look like pregnant rollerskates and have the crappiest k-series offered. vtec only on the intake cam ftl!

 

I have an 00 EM1, i'd never trade for an EP3

 

ebp em1 ftw! *drool*

 

No thanks. I'll keep my death trap rattle can.

 

Lol.

 

seems like you have more dislikes than likes.. haha.. so what do you think you would do..??

 

+1 EM1 love

 

sold my 99 ej8 to get a 93 Si, couldnt be happier

 

Those 5th Gen. '92-'95 Si are really, really hard to come by nowadays!!! Some people that have them DON'T want to sell it. So, I'm keeping mine for now, until Japan imports those NEW Civic Type-R Hatchies here.
