Ok this is how I see it (correct me if I'm wrong).

- 1.6 pros; lower price, looks ( the front end is dead sexy lmo), sportier handling, better aftermarket, some say it's more reliable (less sweaks and rattles)

- 1.7 pros; better fuel economy, 4 wheel discs, better abs, better transmission, side air bags, softer ride, quieter.

Basically what I'm looking for in my next car is; ultra reliable, good fuel economy, sedan, quiet with a comfortable ride, something that is enjoyable to take on longer trips.

I thought the EL would be a perfect choice, if anyone can think of another car I would appreciate it (I'm not brand loyal, a good car is a good car). Thanks

 

....:thinking: ....:wtf: ....How about a 4 door LS...I had one,very nice.

 

oops I forgot, I am reffering to the Acura 1.6el and 1.7el.


By a LS you mean an integra? Fuel economy is not so good and saftey is not great either.

 

screw safety EL wow man u choose a wrong forum this is mostly americans here they dont have the EL Models :S so meh

 

going solely from your description I would go with the 1.6 But I have no idea what an EL even looks like. and my google for honda EL came up with "Honda El Paso" :lmao:

 

Ya safety is so overrated. Automotive accidents are the leading casue of death in the US for people under 35. LOL I sound like an old man.

Anyway thanks for the heads up, I'll look at other forums.

 

It was sold as an Acura, but its just a fancy civic only sold in Canada.

1.6EL



1.7EL

 

1.6 is way better.

 

1.7!

 

For those that don't realize it, the question of this thread is "6th vs. 7th gen Civic."
