Aight check it I am in the process of hopefully getting another car I am looking into buying a hatch preferrably 5th gen. Since all you guys seem to know your shiznit and I am still learning I would like some personal experiences and the dislikes and likes about your hatches. My plans are to keep it as stock as possible and to put in an engine swap like the B18C,1,5??? dunno yet or the JDM B18???

 

Mine is the best.

 

They are all the same, here is the general info.

CX and VX are lightest of the hatches. DX is a little bit heavier and Si is the heaviest (it also has a sunroof).

In 1992 ALL hatches were prewired for VTEC, after that only VX and Si as they both came with a version of VTEC. 95% of the people on this board have CX hatches, mostly because of the weight.

Hatches don't have any options like power steering, some don't have AC, or power door locks or windows.

I hope that helped.

Oh and to answer your question any B or D series engine is an easy swap.

 

6th gen.

 

Si's and DX's (with auto tranny) have power steering.

 

Cheers man.

EK hatch's =

It will come down to personal opinions but, if you like EK's then usaully you wouldnt mind owning an EG as well. At least I know I wouldnt

 

whatever you like is the best.....

do what other people think is cool....

 

1992 civic HB CX

 

My personal favorite is the 5th gen... then the 4th gen right behind that one. My .02

 

I have a 1992 VX....curbweight is just under 2100lbs. Doing a B18C w/ LSD sawp late this spring. One of my friends has a 99 hatch w/ the same swap. I like the looks of his car better, but the weight factor goes to me

My hatch has power steering. I like the Si for alot of reasons. Power moon roof, cruise control, AC, and power mirrors. Black interior and cloth seats are a + too.

 

well well... it all depends! if you want a nice comfortable ride. get a ek model... if you want to do more drag racing get a eg.. i have had both eg and ek i like the ek model because it seems like its more of a car when you drive it.. cant explain but i guess its all on what you like.. if you are going to go with a vtec motor i guess look for a vx hb all ready wired for vtec.. light model.. same as cx i believe but not wired for vtec.. plus it seems like everybody has eg 92-95 parts for sale. (exterior)

 

thanx i like all the responses hmmmm tough one to choose from!!!

 

I dig the 6th gen... even though I have a 5th gen.

I think they look nice

 

5th gen

CX/VX for all out racing, weight difference would be the factor for this model

DX only if its a killer deal to buy, other wise a waste

Si if ya still want luxury, power features....moonroof

IMO

 

here is a good thread that tom started a while ago debating the pro's and con's of each generation:
