Default Most enjoyable honda to drive?

Out of all the honda's you have driven which one is the most comfortable, fun, enjoyable to drive? I have heard del sols are a blast to drive.

I have only driven a 95 integra, 96 EK, and 07 civic. Out of all those the integra was my favorite.

I'd say my em1, I've driven heavily modded ek's, a couple em2's and a dc2, my most comfortable was the em2, loved the dc2's seats and the way I sat in the car, and most fun overall would be my em1, just need some new seats, lol

I had a 91 accord 2 door for a few years and caught the honda bug. I eventually got rear ended and totaled it and bought my 95 honda civic. I love my civic with no end. It has the stock single cam vtec with full msd ignition, a 3" short ram intake, and a 2.5" exhaust system. just yesterday I got bored in traffic on the highway and pulled from 75mph to 130mph in a matter of seconds in 4th gear. yea 4th gear im not lying. so yea. id say love the eg's.

Iv owned/driven a 92 accord sedan LX(auto), 95 integra LS coupe(MT) and a 95 sedan GSR(MT). I also have a 92 cx hatch but it has no engine and I've never driven it :p my current DB8 is prob the most fun. It has no pwr steering and I love it in the turns. It has the 4th and 5th gear from an LS and its great. Went 120 in 4th and was only at 6.5k lol

Only 150? I think the Volkswagen R32 has a top speed of 180 and its a small hatchback.

I always wanted a fixed up del sol :[ but instead I drive an ek. I think its the best car to drive compared to an integra and an eg. The integra feels heavy and big, the eg rattles like hell and feels like its going to fall apart. The ek hatchback is perfect for me.

High five EK's are awesome man. But they feel a little to small, like it feels good for me because im under 6' but if I was over 6' I could imagine I would be a little uncomfortable.

Well my black friend is 6'6" and he was surprise by how much room I had in the civic. He thought that he wasnt going to be able to fit. But it does look kinda funny seeing him drive it lol.

Just because the speedometer on the dashboard goes to 180mph, doesn't mean the car can go 180. There's no way that an R32 could go 180mph. My God, who are these people? The s2000 could possibly go 150mph, and not just because it says so on the speedometer.

75mph to 130mph in 4th gear in a matter of seconds?!?! You mean 4th??

Everyone has their different opinions on Honda's. There is no "most enjoyable Honda to drive". That's like saying that there is one best burrito. It's a matter of preference.

Most enjoyable for me is a combination of my hatch and 4 door. My hatch is simple, light and...was quick. The creature comforts like AC, power locks and cruise are just nice to have sometimes, even if it is a few extra pounds.
