PR huh? would never have guessed with those bracelets hanging off the ears? 
i have yet to own a honda. i think i might one day, perhaps as a strictly track car that looks stock but lives at sebring and such.
hondas are good cars to work on and their reputation for being cheap, easy, and potentially quick is what lures people to them. cheap on insurance too, and they don't look half bad if you don't go all rice/jdm on it.
nissan 240sx's are also good gateway cars, since they are approaching the same price ranges of hondas, and their ability to be reliable and fast are pretty good. they'll never reach popularity status like hondas just because they didn't make as many. (i'm surprised they haven't run out of 240s to buy/salvage parts off of yet)

My first car was a 98' civic hatchback back in 03' then had 14 other Hondas, I moved onto Nissans 4 240s,1 Toyota AE86, 1 Dsm turbo 1g and now Im back to Hondas!
I do think Hondas are the most appealing cosmetic wise, best handling, The best fwd and Honda makes badass N/A 4cylinder engines.. probably the best. lmao.
I want another rwd car but Ill stick to my b18c crx for now.

HEEELLLP GUYS
IM NEW TO THIS SITE, im buying a mazda3 and wanna get a turbo charger
however
Most aftermarket turbocharger kits for naturally aspirated cars recommend running no more than 6-8 psi to prevent engine damage.
AFTER READING THIS IS THE GREDDY TURBO CHARGER 16GB TO MUCH FOR THE MAZDA 3?
AND HOW MUCH POWER WILL THIS PROVIDE? TO MY EXISTING 148 HORSEPOWER?
AND WHAT OTHER STUFF MUST I GET AFTERMARKET PARTS LIKE A WASTEGATE, INTERCOOLER ICEVEX, BLOW OFF VALVE? DUEL DRIVE WHAT IS THAT?
