Hey! .. i'll say go for the 4th gen .. with 6K you'll find a Vtec model .. the only thing that the 5th gen has better than the 4th gen is the ass (4th gen ass suck LOL, but only the headlights i think ,, they could be a little biger going more to the sides of the car .. kinda the new accord coupe) and let me tell you that almost always when i stop to put gas on my car people ask me "what Kind of Honda is it??" .. and when i say the year ,.... so i'll definatelly say go for the 4th gen ... 5th gens are beautiful // but i really preffer the more agressive sharp look of the 4th gen ... .. when i go to alignment the mechanichs don't want to align because they think that my lude is lowered .. but isn't .. so they go to the alignement LOL, is just the look .. like a little evil machine!
Jus take a look in mine!
