I have my 01 LX Sedan 5 speed with 89,000+ miles , thinking of trading for an 02 EX Coupe 5 speed with around 43,000 miles if I can get deal making the trade worth it.

Do the 02s have any of the 01s common problems? Things such as the erratic fuel gauge and especially the strut problems which mine has BIG time! Any comments from 02 owners appreciated!

meh.. LX to EX isnt that big of a jump.. you get tweeters, a sunroof.. and vtec.. which really doesnt do much except for fuel economy

Dont get another civic, and if you do get a EP hatch. At least you will get a K series and torque. Just my opinion though.

Get an 02 coupe, and dont get a EP hatch. They're shaped like a shoe and weigh so much that the torque isnt too beneficial. How much torque do they have anyways...like 120-130?
Its a good trade for you...why the hell not

Thanks for the feedback so far! I might take a look at it this weekend. I like the looks of the coupe better compared to my sedan and it is silver - the color I wish I had gone with. Plus the ABS , moonroof , rear sway bar , keyless , 15" rims , spoiler and less than half the miles! If I end up buying it I will repost later.

just remember... ur losing some headroom, and mobility.. by mobility, i mean the ability to effectivly move people in and out of the car in a relatively short amount of time

Very good point on the headroom! Since I seem to be tall in the upper body this might be a factor. As far as the mobilty - I rarely ever carry back seat passengers.
