Default Should I buy a 96+ civic or a 94+ integra?

Hello. I am in the market for a new car. I am 17 years old and have about 5k to spend. I like the integras looks but they ARE the most stolen car in america. BUT...where I live...stolen cars is never heard of. But lately I have been started to like the EK hatches. I just dont like that I cant get a sunroof and power windows/ door locks w/ a hatch. Well what should I get??
(please dont post telling me to get a diff. car than these 2)
(Yes..I know this is in the civic forum lol)

Id say get the hatch!! you can always swap in the power windows and locks, and when i went to buy a 99 dx hatch, for anuther 1500 i could have gotten a moonroof off the coupe, all the do is cut and weld. but the moonroof isnt all that great, my 93 si has it and i thnk the motor is goin out!

For 5K, you may need to look for a 94 or 95 non-vtec Integra, because GSRs have not fallen that low in price yet. You might find a 96 or 97 Hatch for around $5K, but good luck finding one with a manual tranny.

Start Hunting. Either would be a good car, but for a daily driver, I'd go after an older Integra.

OT: That's just stupid.

Anyways, go to http://www.motornet.ie/news/articles/06080203.phtml

As of Lo Jack, the Accord is the most stolen car in America. I think Honda-Tuning stated Integras are the most stolen ENTHUSIAST car in America.
