I've never driven a Honda Civic so I don't know how much fun it is. I used to own its main rival, Toyota Corolla and it never gave me a high. Wonder whats the deal with Honda Civic, especially the mid '90s model.

Because they are cheap? And they want to make them like the civics in the fast and furious movie.

Cheap to start with, easy to work on, tons of aftermarket mods available, and tons of potential.

For awhile, there was a huge boy-racer movement toward slapping turbos and s/c's on import vice owning a V8 pony car. The Fast and the Furious movies put the craze on the map. Chrysler even started putting a factory turbo in the Neon to compete.
