Performance - Quick little car, decent acceleration/braking handling, nothing special Build quality - Honda quality, nice interior, amazing gauges, controls, slide out cupholders is nice feature for 15 year old car Appearance - Five stars, JDM headlights are prefered to USDM ones but overall, very nice looking car inside and out Cost of ownership - Amazing gas mileage, maintenance is equal to any other 15 year old car, mine was bought in underwhelming shape Fun Factor - When car was first purchased it was amazingly fun to drive, still puts a smile on my face, but it's time to upgrade!

Braking is good, good acceleration with amazing top end. handles like a dream. leather interior, with green paint and black wheels. 25-30 miles per gallon. It is hella fun to drive i cant get that feeling of excitement anywhere else

Its a fun and sporty little car. It has a manual transmission, which I think is a must in any sportscar. You just get a much better feel for the vehicle that way, plus I love the challenge of it. It gets great gas mileage, which it has to since it only has a 10 gallon tank. It gets 30+ on the highway and about 25+ in town. It has pretty decent acceleration for not being upgraded, good braking and has great turning. It does need some suspension work though since it is virtually nonexistent and it needs a new A/C as well. I would recommend this car, since it is a great car to get started in learning manual since it is quite forgiving. The only possible bad thing about it is the fact that it is a front-wheel drive car. That makes a better everyday/all weather vehicle than a rear-wheel drive, but at the same time it takes away some of the sportiness factor. I'm also still more used to the handling characteristics of rear-wheel/four-wheel drive since the first vehicle that I started driving and drove for years was a 1995 Ford Explorer Sport

The car is really a nice one. Its a small light car with almost 50 50 wait distribution. Acceleration is very good as it goes 0-60 mph in 5 secs. The interior and exterior is in excellent condition. And it has only 93k on it.....and as far as gas consumption is concerned, it all depends on who is driving the car :)
