92-95. I love mine because they look so damn clean! The head lights and overall body style are awesome.

96-00 coupe, headlights on the 5th gen look stupid IMO, especially if you get the cheap clear corners and they don't line up. but its whatever you like. Also, the interior of the 96+ are 1000x nicer.

The 92-95 coupes look nasty IMO. Only thing good about the 92-95 civics are the hatchbacks. The 96-98 does look better but the 99-00 front puts the icing on the cake.

the 96-98 front bumpers accent a front mount intercooler.

the side ducts on the 99-00's aren't even functional! (unless you cut them out of course)

My favorite is the 96-98 EX cp., because the choice of headlamps is unlimited and they are some really sweet headlamps. The EK's are going to have more weight than the EH's. That's what I hate about them. But coupe for coupe they both have very nice accessories that you can purchase for each body style. The main thing that I really dislike about my 98 EK is that it has a piece of **** P2P OBD 2 ECU instead of a P28 OBD 1 ECU. Other than that everything else is great. I have the better top-end but the 92-95 has the better bottom-end. I'm cool with both of them, this just my personal opinion.

I would go with the 96-98. I like the headlights and taillights more. I also think the interior is better designed.

Well if your interested in luxuries like power windows and stuff I'm sure you don't care about the extra weight difference between 92-95 and 98-00 coupes. SO i IMO the 98-00 is a nicer car...

the interior of the 96+ are 1000x nicer.

[Modified by foozball-26, 3:12 AM 11/12/2002]
mainly becouse the interior is nicer IMO. I've been in both and the interior in the 92-95 seems a lil small. All I can say is that 96-00 seems more spacious inside with a nicer dash layout... Body wise they are both nice.
