is he asking for what car is faster , OR what car is better...
well to COMPLETELY honest, i would take the hatch personally,
i love the ITR, but u have to remember it is an older integra, and you are getting a newer civic with a more torquey engine. Hey it is all prefference, and i personally dont really like the hatchbacks. check my sig, all i have been driving is mostly Hatches, and i have dotten tired of them, so when i got a bigger and newer car, I LOVE IT. so maybe that is why i not into the teg.
if you really want something a little out of the norm, take the H22 hatch.
and turbo it.
plus there is the fact the RPM is fastest way to kill an engine. no matter how well the engine was built, if it is constantly reving high, it will not last as long as another engine which is not.
so the H22 is your best choice there. I personally might think towards the teg.
