the 4th gen Civics are by far lighter than the 5th gens. The lightest 5th gen is the VX hatch. Weighing in at 2108 pounds. The CX at 2120, and so forth.

What would be the better car, i like the 4th gen HB cause not to many around and they have decent power. Is there a 5th gen HB that's compairable?
If you had say 4K to spend on an HB, which would you get? Don't forget I have to get rims, tires, springs, and shocks too (or at least I'd like to).

I wouldnt say the 5th gen is better. The 4th gen has advantages like being much lighter and being cheaper to build cuz of the cable tranny. Of course the disadvantages are of course wiring issues for swaps. The 5th gen have a more streamline body shape, are prewired for VTEC from the ECU(to the engine wiring harness plug), has more options for engine swaps. Unfortunately its more expensive to build.
