      Ahhh sorry, misunderstood. Never owned a honda. Excellent build quality, but unfortunately a high price to go with it. Have always found Mitsubishis to be good value for money and a LOT cheaper than Hondas. Having said that, I guess you get it back when you sell...

        Heres my list, only a few:

        1. Ford Falcon Gli 1995 Station wagon (4L engine with enough torque to spin the globe under its wheels...it was a ex-family car)

        2. Mitsubishi Lancer MR 1998 - my pride and joy, went everywhere with this car, very zippy for its engine size - some dickhead ran a redlight and wrote it off on my behalf. I miss it a lot.

        3. BMW 318i 1993 - was a fun car to cruise in, so slow and lacking power (88kw lol)

        4. Nissan Pulsar N14 1993 manual - had a few mods on it when i bought it, it went suprisingly well and was fun to drive around in, zippy and its ca16de revved hard.

        5. Mitsu FTO GPX manual - well you know, i dont think i have to explain this one to you guys. Goes like a stealth bomber
