Default Left with 2. Now what to do?

I just got rid of the RSX-S and now I'm left with the Z and the Vigor. The Vigor is okay but eats just about the same in gas as the Z but I don't mind beating it up. I put it up for sale for the same price I paid ($800) and test drove a couple cars today.

It's between a '94 Civic DX Sedan automatic, a little beat up outside but runs and drives perfect at 170,xxx. AC blows cool, purple exterior , all at $1500.


And the other choice is a '91 silver LS Integra 5 speed with 180,xxx, decent exterior, clean interior. All at $1700.

I know the Integra would be more of a joy to drive, but I'm wanting a better MPG. Does the Civic DX sedan come out on top? Anyone know the MPG on a '94 dx Civic?

if you're really going for mpg, look for a 5 speed cx.

Yes, pretty big hit. I'd rather not talk about it. But then I'd be tempted to mod it don't you think? I can already picture myself getting some LS Meshies, or gizzers.

keep the vigor. I wouldn't get either of those options. It will take a year atleast to see the savings. Might as well drive in comfort.
