you definitely know exactly what you are talking about . iv seen a few other dudes trying to explain why Honda are the best car ever.. you do it best . keep up the good work . 🖒🖒
M j Ireland Thanks!
Would you test the 2017 Nsx?
Joe Neri Would like to, just don't know anyone who has one.
M j Ireland actually he knows zero. He’s just pro ricer level.
Honda best car ever? Honda is not a car. All brands have good and bad cars. Per example, the NSX is respectable por 99% os the people, and is a Honda, like S2000 or Integras R.
Honda just never leaves me stranded anywhere on the road even after a very bad beat down on the engine. Always got me back home. Always comes back to life with the most minimal parts. Honda love for life.
Took the words out my mouth.
will Honda ever bring back the prelude I really miss that car
I highly doubt that. There's just too many cars in that category. The Honda/Acura RSX was designed to replace both the Prelude and Integra.
the Prelude is so overlooked
The H22A is the stepchild of the VTEC motors. Hence, they made the K20 to replace the B-series and H-series motors.
really every car company I keep come across they keep making the same mistake and they don't even know it the best cars are always the one's that are discontinued
samory wilson yea man so damn true WE NEED A NEW PRELUDE FOR GOD SAAAAKE!!! IF POSSIBLE A 350 HP AWD!!!! 💗
Haters gonna hate.
I love (H)aters
And masters guna bate
Right on Bro!
Couldn't say that any better
Cuz ricers give them that bad rep.

Exactly hahahahaha
byGiNeSiToX Bananas people dont know what that word even mean any more
Especially Shingo
+ShowTime Glo right
Why do others care so much about other people's choice in car? Choose what pleases you, not others.
#TRUTH
I totally agree with you. I am a huge Honda fan and I own 3 Honda cars. I can never understand why people don't like Hondas because they are awsome cars and are rock solid reliable and they are very safe aswell. I don't care if people don't like Honda because it is their loss and not mine. I love Honda and always will.
Exactly. Who cares what the guy at the red light thinks. Dont drive like a douche nozzle, enjoy the car and do what YOU like.
In society today. Everyone is so concerned what everyone else thinks about them or their material possessions. They are usually fun cars to drive, reliable, quick and cheap to maintain. That guy driving the BMW, Merc, etc doesn't "look" very cool when he gets a $2500 quote for brakes and tires on his stock 19s. Do what makes YOU happy. People need to go back to a time before instagram, snapchat, etc. Find what you like/enjoy and just do it.
Cody Shaw well said, Cody
@@Cameronvial hondas are trash people think they all that cause they put dumb rims and big bore exhaust i don't understand why u guys like it
Funny how people diss on “imports” but when they see a Ferrari Lambo Supra GTR etc etc they run to take pictures, y’all are cute lol.
Haha
true
You're definitely an OG car guy.
Fantasma 115 Thanks!
People hate because they get smoked by them. And no I'm not a Honda owner.
Victor Gonçalves no because uneducated GED minorities with bad modification taste are fucken annoying.............
Miguel Garcia that is also true
When vtec kicks in
I never even see any modded Honda's where I live. Back in the day they were everywhere and now I can't tell you the last time I've seen one. 5 years ago maybe.
riothero313 where do you live then? here in holland they are everywhere!
My Acura 99 TL 3.2 is almost at 400,000 miles and runs like a champ Honda 4 Life Yo
05 TL 155k will keep for life
But that’s not the same brand
@@AUA-camChannelwithNoName yes it is acura is literally honda it's just the luxury version
@@AUA-camChannelwithNoName bruh
It's like a lexus of toyota or infiniti of nissan.
Still driving my 98 Honda Prelude SH

Love my prelude 2000 to death
I think most people that hate hondas are mostly from the U.S, mainly because hondas is a really die hard Japanese brand that only offers their top spec and great cars in Asia only, like Dc5 type r's, fd2 type R's, Mugen RR's, Jdm Dc2/db8r, accord euro r's, etc... i fortunately grew up in Hong Kong where we all get the cool models like the type R's there...the U.S did not get any real Honda made type r until 2017, they missed out a lot a lot...
Good to see a perspective outside of the USA. A correction though we did get the Integra Type R in 97-98 & 2000-2001. This will be the first time we get a Civic Type R in the USA though.
GT Content I know what you mean by Integra type r, you were talking about the Acura Dc2 type r, in accurate that's a Acura type r, that's why I was saying a real Honda made type r that's badged as Honda, USA didn't get any Honda type r's until 2017
+Alex Jai Understood
Alex Jai it's true! Only USA people hate Hondas because they didn't experience the EK9, integra, Ep3 and FN2. Fuck yall American Honda haters. In Europe, Honda are everywhere!! 🤘🏾
well, I'm not a 'american honda hater'.......I LOVE HONDA...... & Sony (cuz I'm obsessed w/ Japan hehehe)
I own Honda lawn mowers...generators...had a Pilot...kid has a Civic and my wife works for Honda....Honda builds nice stuff. I also have a Ford F150 and a Mercedes Benz SLK 350. I've had a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am..A 1989 Mustang GT 5.0...and Infinity G35 coupe...a G37 coupe....I love all of em....Honda is Honda...Good shit..!!!
god damn u got nice cars
All haters have been smoked by a honda
Domestic rice had me dying. Great video!
A wild Grizzly bear Thanks!
Discovered your channel and now binge watching. Good content keep up the good work.
Awesome! Glad you enjoy the content. Will do!
I'm building my first 97 Honda civic coupe after my son's convinced that I need something else besides my lowrider.and I have to admit it is really a fun car to drive.I give a big thanks to my son's for all the help and info on my build can't wait to roll wit them this summer.
I can whole heartily agree with your points. Living in So. Cal I seen my fair share of tasteless mods.
Good to know you have a similar experience.
Ur content has been coming up lately on my feed. Thanks for your great material Sub'd!!
Two thumbs up!! As a owner of a 2000 civic si ... its plain n simple there just fun to drive and play with!
My first Honda was a EF Civic SiR 91 HB man miss the 90's!
After purchasing an 02 accord ex coupe. I've fallen in love with Honda. Great video man.
I like how when he said “rice” there was literally a picture of a bowl of rice and chopsticks there lol
Good video I wish I could have grown up around the times of those hot import night days , but growing up in the early 2000s I got into car culture because of fast and furious and Initial D.
I really like your explanation. I don't personally like honda's only because they are mostly fwd and I prefer rwd or awd, but I definitely respect honda guys because I have seen some really cool builds.
hit the nail on the head buddy, you earned a new sub...
Thanks!
I really don't understand how you don't have 200,000 subs plus! Your videos are great
LochieAS Hopefully one day. Thanks!
Very VERY good video, very well made and explain your perspective so it will give other minds to think. I'm gonna search your channel for more content thank you for being a content creator
+bequiet im listening to the radio Thanks! Lmk if you have any feedback to improve my content.
Thank you! What a great video I'm showing this to everyone
+Ziad Joumaa Awesome!
Keep up the fantastic videos bro!!!
thanks for making this vid. this gave me alot of insight of being a Honda owner myself.
+John Neth You're welcome.
fast and furious started the horrible rice scene where i live
+ej2civic b I can't disagree with you as I had the same experience.
where
Who cares. Drive what you like.
Great perspective on the honda "hate" I was in the import scene late 90's civic eg and I know exactly what you mean. Subbed
Glad you had a similar experience. Thanks man!
Everyone has different opinions , you explained everything right, good vid, I have had ae86, all kinds of rotary powerd car, a crx and now own a 92 si hatch b16, I'm keeping it because of future k24 swap, loved all of them.
I totally agree with you! Where at from Central California, Fresno? Haha. I used to rock a GS-R with full Bolt-on's back in the day. Cheers and good video!
James Cruz Central. Thanks!
I drive a Honda and i love it
Born and raised in SoCal, pretty much my exact experience with Hondas in the 90s. I had a b16a swapped EG6 too haha
+B Y Nice to know you had a similar experience.
Yea, the posers are what ruined them for me. All fart can and external flash with no real engine substance. Gave rise to the "This sticker gives it at least 20 more horsepower!"
Preach on!
GT Content i agree man i hate that i built a legit all motor accord cd7 wita jdm h22a m2b4 lsd trans aem series 2 standalone apexi vtec controller golden eagle intake manifold blox throttle body vibrant exhaust and much much more but i still gotta defend it every time i turn around but thats fine most talking stops when the light turns green lol
But i love honda just hate that most people dont build em right
Demand Respect Build your car for you bro. Nevermind what anyone else thinks about it, its your car and they don't have to drive it. My 1st car was a CB7 check out my channel sometime
StreetBullyTV checked it out awhile ago bro i got a h23 h2b eg hatch and my h22a cd7 love the vids keep it up i subscribed awhile ago i gotta make a update vid on mine but i been dailying it and dont have much time
I really wanna get the 5th gen prelude but I'm not a racer nor do i intend on being one, I just enjoy driving, caring, working on, and maintaining cars.
Just gave my 16 year old daughter my 01 civic and bought a 2018 civic si. Love them both the 01 was just my daily driver for work only had tinted windows since I'm in Florida. My first car in 94 was a 1980 rx7 5speed wish I still had it
I’m going to do a review of my integra dc2 gsr that is completely stock, I saw your civic ek review and the swap idea is interesting
Thanks bro for all the history about Honda. I am planning to buy EG hatchback and make it as a project car. From Philippines 🇵🇭
i like your videos , you seem like a really chill and nice person 👍🏻 im now a subscriber!
+Adrian Mondello Thanks!
Good vid, were in the same car mod generation and even tho Im a lil older from the 90s & early 2000s, i still luv "import moded st cars. I want a Type r or Golf R sooo bad.... =D
Great video. For years I was a Honda lover, owning a couple of CRX Si in the 90s and two AP1 S2000 later on. They were great cars and I met a lot of great people because of those cars. I still like Honda, but now it's only my wife's Odyssey. I got bored with Hondas lack of decent offerings after the S2000 and even with it being a blast, the lack of torque low in the range made it not as fun unless really wailing on it. Of course then it was REALLY fun, but not so much for around town driving. For my car fix now, I moved to the Subaru WRX. Easy to tune, AWD for the snow, great sound and loads of torque to make even a trip to the store fun. But, I really do hope the new Type R offering will bring some life back to Honda.
Good to hear your experience.
So true. I owned a 95 civic coupe ex sohc vtec I bought after I came back from Japan in 2001. Was a cheap to own maintenance and upgrades. Loved that car, fun to drive at the limit with tein suspension I put in it. Yah still brings nostalgia and I do like Hondas for their reliability as family cars. Today I drive a 17 wrx sti, and I must admit the announcement of the new civic type r brought back memories, but I'll keep my STI.
Nice to know know your perspective.
You broke it down nicely. Funny we both own a Acura TSX, I did tuned it though (slight). I remember owning a 94 Accord fully build (was 19). Funny that fast and furious came out and totally killed the scene but people were talking that the movie is what blew up the scene but it actually killed it and the scene was there before the movie. I do hate the fart cans but do like a proper tuned muffler lol Keep up the videos, stay safe.
+Arioch Good to know you had a similar experience (Especially owning a TSX.LOL). Thanks and likewise man!
Great video you got a new subscriber! I really just wish that Honda would make simple, lightweight, easy to work on cars again that are fun to drive. my favorite generation was the fourth generation civic because they barely weighed more than a crx, I don't think any had power steering, and they were the birth of the vtec Civic. you could argue easily the fit gen was the best because of OBD1 and the integra engine bay but all generations of Honda Civic still gave us good Civics, just some more memorable than others. shout-out to the DOHC ZC third generation for even giving us the B16A1 in the first place!
Boosted Fool Yes, it would be nice to go back to those times. Unfortunately we won't see that anymore due to stricter safety and emissions standards. The good thing though is that we can still get (fingers crossed) them in the used market.
Excellent content and excellent channel!
Thanks man!
he explains it well,I never was a ricer look on my EG6,I just kept it clean an simple with front lip and spoon style rear wing,but don't get me wrong it does had other mods as for JDM authentic wheels,stage 2 clutch,short shifter & stylish shift knob everything kept all original to look like a sleeper.
OG pre fast and furious days... I remember those epic nights
damn dood why only 1k subscribers?!?!?! we must pump dat number!
excellent video. You always offer insightful content. I still love Honda. Its hard to blame them for not catering to the enthusiast crowd. Even in your video you state that in the 90's, the people buying them were buying cheap, used vehicles. That doesn't really benefit the manufacturer. They are always going to cater to the people actually purchasing their new cars. Also, if you study economics or demographics at all, younger people, the 25-40 demographic that used to be where businesses targeted, no longer have buying power. That demographic is riddled in debt. The demographic with buying power is much older, probably in their 50's. So, I don't think Honda lost their way, they are still selling plenty of automobiles. And if you've owned one recently, they are as reliable as ever.
+Antonio Lopez Amen
I think it comes down to whether you are a car enthusiast or not. You can have a Honda civic and brag that it's the best car ever made and not accept anything else (not being a real enthusiast) or you can have a Honda civic keep your loyalty and accept every car out there for what they are. On the opposite side, you can be hating on Hondas because of their known hatred or you could respect the owner and what he's done to it like a car enthusiast, unless it's hideous AF like mentioned above ;)
True that. ✋
Alpha Wolf I drive a 94 integra and wouldn't trade it for anything on the market currently. But I also believe the last "muscle car" was the 82-88 Camaro after that factories got their parts made in Mexico and began outsourcing heavily and cars only became "assembled" in America! And before anyone knocks me for my opinion the first car I ever wrenched on was a 74 nova bored built and blown
Ive met many Honda dudes/chicks that are pretty loyal to the brand and think every other car brand is garbage but tgere not the only ones, i would find it a bit boring to be stuck to one brand, for me i enjoy a little bit of everything from Japanese,American Muscle,and Euro.
I bought my 92 Si back in 97 and it only had 80.000 mile on it,I paid almost 1300 for it back then and I always wanted a hatchback,cause I was into the JDM scene where it was simple,clean and was easy to work on,but I got tired of the SOHC and swapped it for a B16A SiR motor which is a great tuner motor and also changed my exaust so it would sound deep and not like a fart can,I still have my EG and going 22yrs and 5 month"s I keep it tuned up and still running good.
oops that's 13000
I remember a Honda Civic smoked a 2002 camaro. The camaro owner got so mad that he LS swapped his engine so he can never be beaten again. Funny thing is, is that he never takes it drag racing anymore because he’s still embarrassed and he doesn’t want to lose again. Yes I’m a Honda owner but I respect all cars and no I’m not a ricer. I’m a very cheap person and I’m not doing any modifications anytime soon dxterior or inside the engine bay.
if Integra Nice to hear you had a similar experience.
I’m an FR-S owner but I’m not going to lie... One of the cars I’m itching to build is a CR-X. I will someday make the move to purchase a GT-R depending on how the market is in a few years but the CR-X is always on my mind. There’s on for sale down my street and I think I want to dedicate it as a track toy! I like to think as an enthusiast, take cars for what they are and not hype them up as what they aren’t. Honda’s seem so much fun regardless of status!
Still love my dc5
Nice
sweet
Well said! Couldn't say it better
EP3 Civic Type-R was still pretty lightweight. I think it was not sold on US. But we got in Europe and it was pretty cool.
Just want to point out one thing, the photo of the "Domestic rice" is also an import. It's a Holden Monaro from Australia. May have a Chevy engine (if you got the V8 model), but that's it.
Other than that, great video.
This is the best explanation I understand then other people saying, This video is true, he understands
I have a 99 honda civic lx and i love this car doing some work on the engine replacing old parts with new parts. Still get up and go with 214000 miles on it.
0:30 [...Grew up in Central California] I'm similar age from the Bay Area and never heard people say that unless they were from Fresno.
I've actually never come across someone who hates Hondas. I mean, people say don't rice it up, but they still like the brand. And it's just always true. Don't rice your car!
Yeah I was first v8 muscle car guy. Then when I was 22 I was introduced to 93 civic hatchback eg. I had to have one and I still have one to this day. Except my is 1995 Dx. One day I'll swap the motor but I'm not sure which one I want yet. All I know is it has to be stock 200hp at least.
I have a 1990 honda civic ef2 and a 1999 subaru impreza. I have to say my Honda is more fun to drive. I still love both though
+jose inoscencio 😁
You nailed it!
you have to admire what can be done to a 4 cylinder engine , and gettinq the most displacement available in only 4 bores
I use to be a Lexus / Toyota person but I have since converted to Honda Accord 2012 I love it v6 I plan on upgrading the sus and making a few engine mods all though 271 hp stock isn't bad at all
+stashouse617 Nice ride.
One thing for sure is you can never go wrong or hate with a track inspired style Honda build . I'm not a Honda fan personally ( more into Toyota ) but I give respect where it's due. Coming from an Integra owner.
very nice explanation. ..dude
hi im a young fello and for my first honda, what is a cheap, great sport performance model?
I really interested about welding now. Looking at all the Honda (cars in general) w/o Turbo/Supercharger support, I could make a fair amount of money from selling my own custom kits. 🤔
+Malicious Affection Yes, it can be a lucrative business.
It's ok i still rather drive a honda then anything else
Well said and im a honda head. You nailed it

07wrxtr1 Thanks!
I have a 2011 Si love my car. I dont rev at others and drive it responsibly. However others on the road are constantly too close and revving at stop lights.
This was a great video.
I do agree to points of this video.
I have owned a fair amount of Cars, ranging from Subaru WRX STI Pro drive back in 2008, 350z, 370z, FN2 Honda type R, to Lotus Elise Club racer (track car) to which unfortunately i sold very recently for a new Honda Type R which satisfied me for every day use. (maybe later would modify the exhaust system with a performance exhaust as its pretty quite car). I love Japanese cars, im also a car enthusiast. and getting to enjoy Honda Once more again. I just enjoy all cars but when your going to get married priorities change :/. lol
Oh before someone says it i bought the Lotus cause of the wonderful Japanese Toyota Engine which the Lotus for me was pretty surprising reliable after owning it for 4 years. only replaced normal wear and tear stuff. It was the only car which i miss so far.
High 14s and low 15s? That pretty good in my opinion for a 4-banger. My dad had a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutless with a 350 V8 and later, a 1968 Dodge Charger with a 318 V8, both cars ran 14s in the quarter mile.
So I was going to get a Lexus GS300 for 1200$ but my parents didnt let me due to a transition and battery problem so instead I bought a Honda Civic DX 1991 1.6L for 400$ off my friend. Im new to the car scene and I wanted to know what or how I should tune up my car so that Im not considered a "ricer." I know first I have to get the car checked out for leaking fluids, brakes, etc. a regular check up. and Im not going to put any decals, spoilers, or hood vents on it. I recently found out that a cold air intake wont do anything to a D series car. What modifications should I do to make the Civic faster? As of right now im thinking about stripping the interior and getting racing seats, an exhaust system and a strut bar. Im open to suggestions.
The first question is, what state do you live in?
Wow, this guy nailed it. Mainly because, like me, he is older and was in the car scene in the mid 90's and he has seen it all. The JDM trend at that time was super loud exhausts, body kits and coloured wheels which was very different and shocking in North America. The other thing he got right was how it has died down today, but you wouldn't know that on the internet. They hate "Ricers" like it's 1999... I see like 3 Ricers a year now, so lets move on.
I bought a honda 12 or 13 years ago and like to work on it. I Don't race it, but its fun to work on.
+Nx2overide Yeah, they're fairly simple.
In late 90s to early 2000s Mustang GTs and Camaros ran mid 14 to 14 flat when gsr swap into eg and crx ran about the same for 1/3 the cost of buying those American v8 cars. Great times then.
I still have my eg civic hatchback ever since highschool and it has a B18C and t3t04e turbo running around 425hp on 35 psi
Nice
GT Content I too grew up in California
Racing is life Good to know.
I have a 2000 V6 Accord coupe that I got for $1,200 .It has a body kit,double din Sony Xplode,new suspension,led headlights, and 2 performance mufflers.The tranny gave out.The sub frame is gone.It won't idle and I had to put new brake and fuel lines in it.It is nothing but a money pit.I finally put it out to pasture for retirement.It was was fun but expensive.Instead of learning my lesson ,I replaced it with a 2001 Acura CL type S for $1,500.I replaced the pads and rotors,converter,timing belt and after 2years have not had any problems.It's a much better car.
I've own and driven a itr for about 4 years and have yet been unable to get the same satisfaction out of any other car the car handle really well, but I feel you tho people hate cause it's still a Honda lol
+Souksanh Phoummavong Yeah, it's hard to find that kind of rawness nowadays.
i love honda....IM GONNA BUY ONE SOON! (hopefully by next yr)
Souksanh Phoummavong try an s2000
Good video, I used to hate on Honda's. But that changed after I raced against an EF Integra that was gutted, with a cam swap and a two step; don't know how much power it had but he still pulled got ahead of me, even if it was a car length, a win is a win. Now days I believe fastest car in a straight line has nothing on auto crossing or drfting, but that's just my opinion.
Because in usa honda civics gets stolen and stripped all the time
Tis true😂
Is this still true? I lived in a Hispanic ghetto (I am Hispanic) in MA where street racing and Hondas/Integras were a daily way of life. Literally you couldn't turn your head or go longer than 2 minutes without hearing an exhaust. I literally tested it one day =D. I personally had a completely stock 94' accord, minus an exhaust, paint job, black housing lights, with subs. I had a club and touch alarm. The last summer I owned it in 09' they tried to steal it at least 6 times in under 4 months. Now I live in NC and it being southern I rarely see a "ricer", a lot more domestic vehicles like Mustangs, Camaros etc being there more African American and White people. Also, taking into consideration that "hooking" up cars doesn't seem to be a thing so much anymore from what I can tell. Research shows more and more young people are forgoing even getting a license, and usually its the younger people who like stealing cars. I ask all this because I just bought myself my favorite car that I loved in high school, a 5th gen Prelude and am debating putting a touch alarm on it. TLDR: They people still steal Hondas, and more so in south where domestics are more popular?
jack deasel yeah my EG got stolen and I got lucky that I got it back in one piece,the stole it for a joy ride,I made a mistake for not installing my autolock which goes on clutch pedal and my alarm wasn't working at that time.
GT Content in Miami you can’t park them 5 min out side without someone stealing them .
one of my dream cars is an honda civic type r ep3
nsx, prelude III, crx, and accord III aerodeck are enough reasons for me to love honda
In my life I being gone through 30+ cars and my favorite is the 2002 pontiac grand prix es,
Yes I'm a GM guy but also I'm a Honda guy too.
Right now I own a Ej2, a Ej8 a 98 Oldsmobile achieva and a DC4 that I'm using parts for my Ej2,
And yeah the best honda shells are from the 90's and how I see it and I think I read it somewhere else that the Ej2 body style was given to acura for the T series and the civic now is following focuses style...
Interesting.
i remember my first car 1990 mazda 929 s. every other kid had a honda and i had a limo lol good times.
evo 9 gsr Those were the good ol' times. lol
I've definitely surprised a lot of muscle car dudes with my 98 JDM Integra Type R swapped 97 LS Integra. 99% of them after riding in the car and feeling what it's capable of begin to respect Hondas and stop all the hate speeches they were once a part of. It's pretty cool to see that and be the one that influenced them (: All it takes is one properly modded car with an owner that doesn't run his mouth.
Hey Gary, how do you like your TSX (what year? Manual?). I’ll be doing a year-long search for a car that is kinda vintage and/or special...what would you suggest for $25k or below with a stick???
The TSX has met all my expectations except for power and speed. It's my daily and I like having the luxuries it provides at an affordable price point. It's a 2006 with automatic (my decision on auto as it's my daily) and navigation (outdated, but better than nothing).
Funny you ask as I'll be uploading my recommendation on performance cars for under $10,000 later on today. lol
For under $25k, I think it's really what you plan to do with the car as I may have different needs. You're probably looking at cars in the $15-$25k range at that price point. Vintage is a loose term nowadays since it seems most everything is going "vintage".
My suggestions would be:
-Mitsubishi Evolution 8/9 (Special in a sense that its the last 4G63 and discontinued)
-Honda S2000 (Special in that it's VTEC&RWD and discontinued)
-Acura NSX-1st generation (This might fit what you're looking for if you don't mind 2-seaters. Might be hard to find at $25k, but doable if you search hard enough. Timing is everything.)
-Toyota Supra TT (Special in that it's discontinued and might be hard to find a pristine example for $25k)
-Mustang GT ("Vintage", but not really special in this case as everywhere)
-Camaro ("Vintage", but not really special in this case as everywhere)
-Corvette ("Vintage", but not really special in this case as everywhere)
GT Content ah...I KNEW you’d understand where I’m coming from. I’m selling my dear 2012 IS250 with only 31k miles this Saturday (girlfriend doesn’t like the amount of money I spend and we have to prepare for marriage down the road)...but I had the same “issue” in that it’s 205hp and Auto. I love it otherwise. A 2000 corolla is my daily. I dig the suggestions you dropped. Thanks a bunch Gary!
He is a very likeable guy lol subscribed
Being a Honda enthusiast, I love both old and new Hondas. They're awesome budget track cars that combine awesome driving potential, simple engineering, and extreme reliability into one. They're incredibly easy to work on and incredibly fun to drive. I completely agree with almost all of your points; unfortunately the Honda community is filled with idiots with IQ's in the single digits. This was a great video, I'm just hoping more people will bash the idiotic community and not the brand itself.
That's true. It's typically the owners. I hope to educate with this channel, since most channels are just for entertainment purposes.

Its like any brand of car. There are clean ones and junk ones.
Personally grew up with EG/EKs with B series swaps. They weren't super fast...but they were a blast to drive. Cruise around and blast down some backroads.
Now I have a '13 SI Coupe with Navi. I love it. Throw a intake on it, short shifter kit and just drive it for what it is. Its "sporty", manual (which Honda seems the only ones to stick to on their "sport" models), reliable as hell, comfortable to drive and quick if you want to go on a more spirited drive. I know its not a race car for the street. I know its not "fast" by comparison. But I know them like the back of my hand and feel comfortable knowing basic maintenance and general care of it can last hundreds of thousands of miles. Its a great daily driver for sure. Will ALWAYS be some people who try to convince themselves its a race car for the street - that it can beat anything that comes along. Dont be that guy. Enjoy the car. Dont care what other people say/think. If you like it, thats all that matters.
What do you guys think of the new 2017 Civic SI? I recently bought the car and I love it. I was kinda bummed that it didn't have vtec but the fact that it has a turbo I feel gives in more potential once the aftermarket comes out with parts for the car. I wanna know what everyones thoughts are including +GT Content.
