cool rocky!!...honestly the only one to really stay awayfrom is the 1990 model year. If you are looking to mainly just have a daily driver with some slight mods to add some pep they will all be relaible. The drive limes dont start to get weak untill well in to the 12s. add an exahust boost control upper ic and bee in the 13s. I know not nearly as fast as your civic but reliable with some get up and go!


Just like any car the less it has been taken care of by its prevous owner the less relaible it will be. just look for something that has been maintained well and i promise you will be happy with your dsm! If you get one any problems you amy have there are plenty of people that will be willing to help and there are lots of resourses to get parts cheap too!!
