5th gen cars go from 92-95 and do very well.

the 6th gen cars 96-2000 do just about as well.

The trim and engine packages are where the big changes are.
you are looking for cx, dx, lx, vx, hx. Avoid the ex snd si as they are the "sporty" ones.

The best mod for any of these is fuel consumption information.

The 5th gen cars you have to go with the MPGuino the 6th you can use Ultra or scan gauge as they are OBD2.

92-94 had driver airbags. 95 had driver and passenger bags.
