94 EJ1 vs. 91 ETC

so i bought another car, and i love it. but i'm really not sure if i can afford to keep my civic and this car. i bought a
1991 cadillac eldorado touring coupe, only 2,249 made. this thing is in near mint condition with no rust other than one small spot by the rear driver fender well (easy fix), no dents or dings. 127000 miles and runs like a top, perfect paint and clearcoat and has perfect interior. never been driver in winter and you can really tell. my civic has about 150000, rear wheel well cancer, hood and driver fender dented to crap, and some dings in the body and could really use a paint job with perfect interior also, and runs great. so i would like to ask your advice people, should i sell my civic or my cadillac if it comes down to it? i know this is a civic forum and i already have a guess on the answer but just wondering what you all think. also i will not drive the eldorado in winter, so i would have to buy a beater; the civic (altough i dislike doing it..) i can live with driving it with the stock rims. i will post some pics side by side by this weekend to see what you all think. thank you

p.s. the cadillac get about 16 mpg average, with a high of 26. civic is about 25-30.

civic= 125 hp and 106 ft. lbs.

eldorado= 200 hp and 275 ft. lbs. (based on stock)

Re: 94 EJ1 vs. 91 ETC

I would get the civic, thats what im looking at now myself. Civic's are really cheap to fix now of days since its still one of the number one cars on the road so there are SO many after market parts for them from what i have found out. I would go with the civic for gas and repair. I can't say much on there car since i have no knowledge of it.

Depends what you want really. Civic would be more fun to drive and has great aftermarket support. Caddy in my opinion is more of a slow cruiser, nice ride, comfortable. I preferr smaller sportier feeling cars and putting aftermarket stuff on.

you're right, civic parts are a lot cheaper than cadillac and in general easier work. regarding the aftermarket stuff i really don't want anything, just need to have my headers and full exhaust installed, debating on installing my lip kit or selling it, and run it till she blows, then either get a new d16 or maybe a b18.

it's a tough choice.. i mean i have driven my civic a lot and love driving it, and have also drove the cadillac (the exact same car in white, with a 4.5 not 4.9) all the time and all over when i was 16. honda = i don't rag it out, but occasionally i will run the rpms up a little. cadillac = definetly a slow cruiser that i would never abuse and run it hard. ya the honda has a sportier feel and handling, but believe me this cadillac has a short wheel base and touring coupe suspension, it hugs the road and turns, and will push me back in the seat if i ever feel the need.

i bet you all thought when seeing "94EJ1 vs. 91ETC" that i was racing them lol. i wonder what would win if i did.. the eldorado has got it stomped in hp and torqure, and only weighs a thousand more lbs, but it's an auto. either way, NOT gunna happen.

thank for the input and replies, but don't forgot VOTE ON THE POLL!
