I Added a new poll for you. Don't ask us Honda guys about getting other cars. We own and modify Honda's for a reason.

Do whatever you want, everyone has their own preferences.

i'd settle for dsm/240 cause around where i live there seems to be way more mitsubishi/nissan specialists than honda.

240s are more popular than hondas now. so i mean if youve been following the trend youd better sell your honda.

oh young flea, the mear fact that you would think about a Nissian proves you do not have that EF passion. EFs are the way to go

Getting the new car bug, huh? I say go for the Nissan, but stay away from the DSM since many people agree that they break down too often.

stay away from DSM..

I have both a 300zxTT and a ef b16 Turbo.. The nissan is GREAT for high speed, but the honda is sick out of the hole and nimble at moderate speeds.. It depends on what you do with your car. street, strip, show, etc..

If your planning on using the car as a daily driver, I would stick with honda. There reliability and ease of repair is unbeatable.

I'd say 240, RWD IMO is a better platform for autoX and track racing and you cant find a RWD honda for under 10k. You could also go with a AWD DSM, i'm trading my civic for a DSM + $500 but i still have a CRX so i'll be in both band wagons

I've owned 2 DSMs.. They're junk. DSM - Dollar Spending Machine. I went through so much money on my GS-T and my DOHC ZC Crx could still hang with it. And I owned an 89 Colt which was gonna be my 4G63T conversion sleeper but I got lazy and sold them both. IMO a DSM is not worth it. And a 240 is a fun car to drive, but you'll miss the raw acceleration of your hatch. Vtec is addictive, how many ppl turn their radio's up to hide the sound of Vtec while daily driving so they can keep from racing or wasting gas. Just build up another Honda/Acura. - Darrell

240s are cool but do what you want to do. Don't get caught up in the drifting hype or anything like that. Keep in mind Honda is reliable and parts are cheap. DSMs are junk, fast, but who wants a car that keeps breaking all the time. Nissan makes good cars but I don't think RWD is the end all be all of having a cool car. Stick with Honda. Even though I'm not one to talk really since I don't even own one anymore but I miss my old Hatch.

I had a really clean 91 Si with ls/direct port. I put tons of money and then one day got a 95 240. I love it and can never go back to daily driving a honda. Dont get me wrong I still love honda and want to start a new project but you really do get a chance to see things different when you on the other side. I get alot of looks from diffrent kind of people in the 240. On top of that when I go out during the day i see maybe 15-25 hondas ranging from big mufflers, neon lights to turbo clean hondas but I only see 1-2 240s and they are mostly stock. The 240 is a totally differennt kind of car and you get a whole new feeling driving it. atleast I did.. I say go for the 240 and atleast try it. you only live once. screw all the people that call it a trend because honda's were the biggest trend to ever hit the face of this earth. and anyone who wants to call it a "trend" i challenge to even begin to rationalize there statment.
