Drive one.....especially on track and you'll understand why they are a lil overpriced for a 90s hatch. With the right driver, they're extremely capable cars.....I didn't realise what they could do until I took mine on track and was blown away.....handling was awesome. The only thing I found to be pretty annoying after I sold my old GT and got one, was the lack of low end torque. The B16b really needs to be worked hard to get the best out of the engine......Vtec engages at 6200 rpm.....Below that they're pretty gutless. For some people, its fun keeping it on the boil all the time to get anywhere fast....but for others, it gets a lil tiresome. As AdamB said, if its a daily driver, consider the k20'ed ep3.....really nice car to live with on a day to day basis....comfier, more torque and the bonus of a 6 speed box. That said I'd still pic and ek9 all day every day out of a GT, Glanza or ep3. You could always sell your b16b and drop a b18c in there, or even turbo your b16b. I know a couple of ek9 lads that have done this with good results. Either way, go and test drive one....sure you won't be disappointed. You can pick the pre face lift ones up for good money these days....just have to look around. The Face Lift models are still pretty steep though. HTH - If you need any more info....drop me a pm
