hondas are much more reliable. dsms require alot of upkeep, or at least every that i know who has them. however, u can make a stock awd very fast for very cheap. its all up 2 u, its your car

If its a low mileage stock vehicle then it is pretty damn reliable, its a factory car. And it japanese, they have plenty of reliability, Get the Dsm and launch at 6k all day at every light otherwise dont sell out

I am planning on buying an older dsm when I get my crx "finished." What i've heard is that it's easy to make a dsm fast, but expensive to keep it that way. ie fixing parts all the time and trannies do break if you launch like a madman. I would say get yourself an old civic hatch for like $1000 and then buy a dsm, that way you have an old reliable honda to fall back on, plus you could turbo it and still be pretty reliable. imo

Personally owning both(ive had the triplets,laser,talon,and 2 eclipses)i say dsm for speed and honda for reliability.Even tho my turbo crx is the fastest car ive had my eclipse auto surprised me.15.3@93 with 10lbs,k&n,fee mods,and a downpipe.
