check the roof if there are some rust marks (sakit ng 92-95 civic to)

from 1-4, same lang yan. nagiiba lang sa fabric ng interiors.
check out the 95 model, kung medyo late 95 na lumabas yan.... halos lahat ng accesories nakakabit na such as:
- audio console box
- armrest
- mud guard etc.

by the way.... wala pa palang defogger ang 94 model.

1. Exterior, as baiskee mentioned, the 95s has a rear defogger. If you’re picky with plates numbers. The plate #s are usually the newer version "Philippines 2000" ones and usually starting na with "U", vs the white in front and green in the back plates released during the 93-94 versions still starting with "T". Other than that, looks wise, you almost can't differentiate a 94 and a 95.
3. As baiskee mentioned, features added in the 95 is the center console/armrest.
2 and 4. Don't know of any difference here. Just try to look for a well maintained, hopefully still all stock one, to minimize your potential needs for repairs. If your getting black, try to just test if it's aircon can still handle cooling the car after being parked under the sun for sometime. Try to look around and compare conditions as well.

what is rear defogger?
is that critical to consider or tolerable?

ive found a 165th fixed for esi 94 model and a esi 95 for about 175-190 neg..
what do you think?

[baiskee]

not that critical IMO... it is a safety feature though.

Definition: A device that uses hot air or electrical heat to remove fog or ice from the inside and outside of the windshield.

kung mapapansin mo, most cars nowadays merong mga guhit-guhit sa rear windshield. yun na yun. hehe

Well, if you're after features, the ESi doesn't exactly fit the bill. It doesn't even have drink holders and split/fold rear seats. Rear windows also open halfway only, regardless of model.

But of course, there are indeed plus sides to this car. The engine has a lot of pep, perhaps among the most powerful in its class, though not exactly the leader in economy. The body is also slick and sporty, very nice if lowered and with custom mags. Watch out for rust though, especially on the roof and fenders.

A fresh 95 model should cost 210K or less.
