Im warming up to Honda overall. My friend who truly is an import car enthusiast (he has an old Turbo supra and a modified accord and spends more money under the hood than on its appearance) used to bag on honda until he actually bought a few older ones and was surprised how good and tuneable the engines actually are. In terms of design and execution, Honda really dont have much going for them yet, but they do build DAMN good little efficient engines, Ill credit them there. Suspension is also a fine point and Hondas handle very well. they are genuinely fun to ride in and drive. Its very easy to tune them for cheap and even though my friends Honda is a little crappy accord, for almost nothing he tuned it into a very spiritied and fast little car. I think the wholericeboy import scene has turned Honda into a hated company and Ill admit I fell into being anti-Honda because of that, but Ive seen what true enthusiasts like my friend do with the car (he hates the rice scene and his idea of tuning is new intakes, slightly bigger exhaust (no backpressure losing gigantic coffee cans) simplified engine bay pipework, and only then will he add htings to it. He knows a big ass wing is pointless but he likes how it looks. He does acknowledge that it does nothing and doesnt work on FWD but he isnt deluded into htinknig it iwll do anything. He will weld hte rear doors sht and strip the car of excess weight. thats an example of why true enthusiasts like Honda. And Actually, Im really starting to agree. I wish I could redesign the bodywork, but otherwise, Im really going to focus on hating Toyota, because honda actually deserves better.
