though, if you go for quickness, you'll want the lightest version (which would be the one with the least amount of options). i personally would rather have power everything (including moonroof) than be lighter. but that's just me i think.

Unless you have an all out drag car, the weight difference won't make much of a difference on the street. 300lbs on the street is barely anything to nit pick about.

If you want something nice, maybe a 5th or 6th gen ex coupe.

true, but if i raced against a dx in my car, i would probably lose because of the weight. i suppose the slightly bigger engine might make up for it, and it all depends on what he really wants to do with it i guess.

I like the 92-95 Civic Sedan and the Coupe. I already have a hatch (Protege5).
From my experience, at least in the SF Bay Area, it seems easier to find used sedans for cheaper and in generally better shape than coupes and especially hatchbacks. Also, I'm pretty happy with mine.

Here's just one link you might want to check out:

Oh, and I also really like the Protege5. I'd consider getting one myself if I wasn't so po'.

Any mechanical issues to look out for? In particular, I'm looking for a 92-94 EX Coupe.

There were some cooling issues with the 92's and 93's being charged with a certain refridgerant (I forget the number) but they no longer make it, and if you do find it, it's expensive like $50 a lb (3-4 lbs needed). There were also some probelms with the 92-93's with the distributer failing. Both those problems were corrected in 94.

In all 5th gens though there were some problems with the Oxygen Sensor going bad, it's a $200+ fix through Honda. I'm having that problem myself right now.

Nothing really major to look out for though, a bad O2 sensor isn't going to cause your car to stop working.
