Q: i am looking for my first car i want somehting that has a little bit of power and has good maintnance
A: look for your first car. dont worry about swapping engines, about torque and modifications. get a car thats gets u around til u learn more about what your driving. for that the inetgra is better. even thought its "almost" the same engine wise atleast. integra is the higher end of the civic.a lil more luxury. my first car was an 87 integra then a 94 then now i have a 95 and a 96. get the picture out of all three only the 87 was junked due to bent valves and the car wasnt worth the money for the repair. other than that ive had no problem. theyll low maintnace aslong as u dont wait to the last minute 2 get it wwhat it need (wit quality 2).
