I'd go EL, but the Accord would be decent also, the EL would probably get better millage...

an EL would probably be the closest equivalent to your EX-V, SOHC Vtec engine , sunroof (option), power stuff, etc....

97 accord ex-r you mean the coupe version?
how much do u want to spend in total just to purchase the car?
imo i wouldnt go with any of those choices.
simply because:
EL: theft magnet, resale value dropped on them hardcore about a year ago
Accord: its a coupe and too heavy. personally i feel the 5th gen coupe should be only 4 doors.
civic sedan ek: best choice out of all of them and easiest to find parts for however every sedan you look at with the "jdm" theme are exactly the same.

get a 2000 civic sir coupe.
if your into coupes and two doors.
you can get it for about 2 grand at the auction with no engine, drop a c5 in there for about another 4 and then with the rest of the money do mods to it.
