3k budget => EG or EK hatch?

i need a car for the winter, looking for something lightweight cheap on gas, reliabile what would you guys suggest? Is it better to buy a newer car with a little more mileage or older car with less mileage? and if anybody know anyone that is selling one in good condition feel free to drop me a pm or post details. I'd consider sedans too but coupes

Go Ek! but it all comes down to preference. You can grab an 96 cx hatch for 3g's or less. I would go for newer but more kilometers as Hondas engines are pretty much bulletproof but rust loves Hondas too.

I had a 1996 CX hatch as well.......It is an awesome winter car.
Definetely would suggest it.

I'm looking for another one as well.
I have no time to fix the first one.

i would go with an EG VX. naked jane. you could pick one up for around 2000$ in a decent condition.


nice find. not really a winter beater but in your price range->

I think it depends on what ur doing, my friend for example bought a 93 cx, because all he wanted was a decent shell, he bought one for $500 and dropped a 18c motor into it, now it hauls *** but he has enough money left over to do a Garret gt35 turbo setup as well.

So if your planning on keeping the stock motor then buy a ek but if ur planning on moding ur car and swapping a new motor or turboing it i would suggest an eg.

Just my 2 cents
