Honda or Nissan? im stuck in deciding..

[Zephyr]

ok so im getting closer to picking up a car and stop using the bimmer


well i drove my sis's 240sx which she was gonna give to me but she took it back because shes evil like that. well i want to get another 240sx maybe a 89 model. but now i been looking at at the HB civics like 92 models or a 4th gen lude... now i'm completely confused and have no idea wut to go with. yes i know this type of topic has been discussed before. but i want to know wut u guys think is a better pick and the reasons y. i want to get a car that i can play around with, to learn how to fix cars myself and junk, and i am a beginner so which car would fit that too. or is there any other car that u think should i go for. these cars i know i can find 5 grand USD and under.

so yea please give me some info, opinions and suggestions. serious answers plz no newbie stupid trying to be smart ass comments

it all depends what you would be using it for. if it is strictly for the street just cruising i would go with the prelude. comfortable ride with good power. if you are going to autocross i would go with the 240 or the civic hatch. those two platforms have a lot of aftermarket support and you could learn how to do an engine swap if you wanted. go drive all 3 and see which one feels the best for you. good luck picking up a car and make sure you don't rush into a decision!

Honda's are cheap and after market parts are everywhere and cost effective! But a 240 with and SR20 kick ass !! S-14 convertion and a turbo very original but very $$$$$!
GOod luck!

If you go for the 240sx, get a later year since 89 was the first model year.

RWD and Nissan torque is hella fun, but damn now that I think of it I should have bought a Honda.... fcuking costs of gas is killing me... Damnit driving 4000 + kms a month takes a toll on the wallet...
