well im 16 years old and im inlove with the honda scene. all into the nice stock clean look.

ive been researdching eg hatchbacks for about ayear now because ive loved them since i was little ..

ive been searching for an untouched one( no ricer or anyone has messed with) for about 3 months now. and have only found automatic eg's or riced out, or theyre messed with how i dont like like interior and exterior is fine but things are spray painted etc.

my parents will pay for a car for me up to 14000 dollars.

if i got an eg.. it would be cheap and i could get a engine swap which i would want a b18c1 gsr. it would save my parents money but they said whatever i want is fine with them if its under 14000

today i was at carmax and came across a 1998 prelude (MANNUAALL!!!) for only 12500 . its got power everything and a sunroof. with 195 hp.
my parents said that car is fine with them and i like it alot. my sister has an 03 civic which was 14000 so they said its okay if i get it.

but ive been into my hatch for so long i dont know if i should get a prelude or keep searching for my civic hatch.

i wanted to know your opinions on this

i know civic hatches are very light but is a prelude light??

would a b18c1 civic beat a 195 hp lude?? i want a fast car but im a very safe driver and never speed and only wanna go fast on the track..i just want a quick daily driver.


do you think i should keep searching for a hatch or get a lude ?

i know its up to me but i really would like opinions to help me out with my decision

like the pros and cons of both

THANKS A TON!
