I personally would get the 2003, I like the body style on it more, it looks tougher for some reason. Not sure on the costs though <img src=/images/forums/snitz/uhh.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

I would definitely go with 2003.. even at more price, good value holder I guess because of the years and everything..+ seems like a lot of us seems to like 200.. (sory folks with 2001 ^^')

I would go with the 2001. My reason is the 2003 is much more expensive and weighs much more. Yeah its nice looking to but the 2003 looks like so many cars and the 2001 is unique. Plus the 2003 isn't as fast as they originlly expected. I bet the I4 in the 2003 is slower and I'll bet the 2001 with mods will beat the 2003 GT. <img src=/images/forums/snitz/smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

2k1 I4 vs. 2k3 I4

2k1 wins hands down....not near the same weight.

2k3 if your going manual for the revamped 5spd.
2k1 lower price, faster,same warranty

I would only get the 2003 if i'm going to get the v6. If youre going to get the 4cyl might as well get a deal on a 2k1 (2003 start at 15,500+-)

GEez man stay away from the auto though,..,,if you;re going to be modding might as well learn how to drive a standard. It'll take you all of 2-3hrs, a parking lot, and plenty of practice from then on.

well...I would get a 2003 2.0L if I had the money for a turbo. Then it would be worth its weight.

Default Re: 2001 or 2003??

it's a tie with i4's..........personaly i think the 2001 is ugly, and if i didn't like the 03(which is a damn sexy car) i'd go for a '99 or so. but the 03 gt wins hands down!!!!!!!!!
and for mathew, sorry boss, but no way in hell could a slow ass i4 beat the gt with anything short of turbo, lets not forget that the apc (near stock) gt smoked a (near stock)rsx. I4 tibs are not fast..... sorry guys, but they can't even hang with stock civics.
