i know most of us dont like hondas that much. but if we absolutely had too, which honda would u want to own, and maybe what other sport compact cars would you take if you didnt have your 6th gen?
If you had too. - 6G Celicas Forums
i'd take a mr2. i will never own a honda. i dont even know any honda except the civic. 
s2000 is the only honda id ever drive, that, or an nsx, but i dont think that counts 
the newest generation of prelude looks good too

I have read some write up on the NSX and they say it handles better than ferrari's. ANd that is pretty impressive considering that is what ferrari's are known for. But i share the same beliefs as all of you...s2000 or a NSX

S2000 or maybe a prelude.
umm.. a coupe, 2003 6speed v6 accord.... those things are SEXY... especially the ones with the factory lip kits, damn... our honda dealership had one a couple weeks ago, i really wanted it.
95 HB w/ h22 turbo swap. my buddy has one here in my town. ( i'm not a honda fan) But its pretty sweet.
Civic Si, or an s2000. Although I'd feel a bit weird driving a Civic, it's probably one of the most widely abused cars in terms of rice because of how cheap it is.
Realistically, the best bang for the buck nowadays would probably be a Mitsubishi GS-T or GSX. I'm getting ready to sell my Celica to buy one. If I can find a hardtop GS-T with fairly low miles, I'm gonna jump on it at the first chance I get. I tried looking for an MR-2, but people are *way* too unrealistic when it comes to how much they want for them. I also considered a 00-01 Celica GT-S, but again, they're a bit too expensive and lack a lot of torque, but Lift sounds addicting to me.

If it had to be a honda and money wasn't an issue:
1. Ariel Atom (not sure if that counts as a honda)
2. NSX
3. S2000
but if i seriously had to buy a honda using my own money:
1. 1992 and under Civic hatch (as a beater car)

The new SI for a honda if I had to own won.
Another sport compact car would be a nissan 350z they are sweet.

my daily driver is a 98 accord now- and not going to lie, its a really nice car imo. If i were to swap my celi for somthing similar and realistic from honda, a 5th gen prelude any day over my celica.
Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06Car #2: 95 Celica GT- purchased 8/03, current daily driverCar #1: 01 Focus ZX3- purchased 5/01, sold 8/03
My g/f has a 99 Eclipse RS re-painted lexas blue. (Changes colors) The 94-99 gs-t i hear have a lot of problems and the GSX. Thats why she bought an RS so she could turbo it and wouldn't worry about the problems as much.
a honda fit
=p
=p
i agree on the 5th gen prelude, i like those. but there is no way my celi is leaving yet
^ AGREED. My celi wont leave my side.

very good selection...thats the prelude i want...but i dont know if i would trade my celi...ive grown to it to much..i just want both..and the eclipse rs...^

NSX or the 3.5L TL, also the S2k isnt bad

The eclipses of that year were ALL prone to crank walk unfortunatly, turbo cars just showed the problem more often. By boosting that car your going to heighten the problem, the trannys arnt exactly rock solid. But a nicely done well tuned eclipse is a nice freeway drive. Not trying to put you down, my friends gone through 3 haha.
But if i had to choose, 05' Long Beach Blue NSX w/ Onyx leather interior on gold Volk TE-37's.

Yeah, the dreaded crankwalk problem.
I've read over on clubdsm that it affects certain years as well. Not any of the newer ones (98-99 GSX/T), but, the mid 90's were prone to the problem.
Also, as I understand it, you can get it fixed by Mitsu because they identify a problem associated with crankwalk as a malfunction, but i'm not entirely sure about it.
I'm trying to stick with a 98-99 GS-T/GSX if I can find one.

RSX-S or S2000.

I've heard some of the RSX's have transmission issues, but yeah, they're definitely nice cars to own.
