anyone know how honda mark up against toyota, susuki, nissan etc for ease of tuning, maintenance relibility, i was gonna buy a supra or MR2 roadster but dont wanna end up being annoyed with my purchase and going back to honda. I wish they'd make a new CRX...

nissan 350z, g35, skyline, silvia, with the import trend going toward drifting rwd nissan looks impressive

i have a 1400 civic which i boguht in 99 and everyday i spank the living crap out of it and it keeps coming back for more never had any problems and occasionaly missed the service date by 2k miles or so... honda have got my vote thats for sure but maybe im being biast i dont wanna end up narrow minded for the rest of my life, spose the other way is to book test drives at the other garages. I was looking at a motor of the year award for reliability and i think toyota were first, dunno bout second but third was honda.... i think that award was 1999 also.

To answer your original answer, Honda cars have the most aftermarket support (Civic) so it would be the easiest to tune/mod/maintain with. But the "other" Japanese manufacturers usually have better performance to start off... Depends on if you want a rocket out of the box or build/tune your own rocket.

Well in Japan the aftermarket support for Nissan is really big. A frien of mine went there and said that he saw more fast nissan's than honda's

Yes, in Japan there's big support for nissans, but i don't think he's talking about over there, but here in the states, then Honda for aftermarket support and ease of tuning. Reliability I would say Toyota and Honda come first. I like nissan but not that much aftermarket support is available, and what they have is a lot more expensive than honda parts.

Hondas have the most after market support in north america. The only reason nissan is like it is in Japan is because of the Skyline GT-R.

in england there is hardly any aftermarket support for jap cars alot of shops and tuning places do fords or renaults... I have to get alot of my stuff imported via good old ebay, obviously parts such as exhausts and air filters are slightly easier to get. but then we do get 95 & 98 RON gas. Do yuo guys get restricted ECU's? or is that japan? :P
