Default Help me decide what daily driver

Hey guys,

I want to start getting serious with auto-x and tracking the S.
She's up to 70k now and I want to keep her for as many more years as possible.

I've been looking between a '99 body style civic coupe, a '94 style accord sedan and '97 eclipse.

I'm not looking to spend more than a max of $5000 or more than 90k miles.

I'll end up spending an additional $800 or so on a stereo and then I just want it to be semi-dependable, hence why Honda!!!

Any input on which would be better, or any other suggestions/ recommendations for a daily driver?

Thanks guys

p.s. NO FITS

my choice of cars would be hondas but for a daily driver you could looking in to a nissan alitima they are also dependable cars and you do find them for good prices

i would go for the 99 civic, extremely cheap if not free to get parts for. and it is easier to work on then an accord. most likely gets better gas mileage. If i were you id get a 99-00 civic EX
