I have to agree that Honda's are easy to learn on but I would think some old school domestics would be as well unless it has a carb.
Anyway. I am noticing that the EFs are getting harder to find parts for I think that is why I am seeing the crowds move towards EGs and more recently the EKs and of course the DC1 and DC2 Integra's.
Do your research, make a plan and go from there.
The EG is nice because you don't need aftermarket mounts to do a B-Series swap. A K Swap would be expensive but a challenge if you are just learning.
just my .02.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
