106 XSi's are awesome little cars, loved mine when I had it. Looking to get a Rallye at the moment to smoke around in and generally abuse

Japs are good solid cars but unfortunatley have a bad name, Attract a lot of w4nkers! Not to say they all are!

xsi's were a Nightmare to find in good nick and reasonable mileage, might get myself a rallye in a few years always loved the S1 rallye's, although a nice white s2 wouldnt go a miss.

Would absolutely love a Teg type R or a EK9, thats the only Hondas i would go for, but my "want" list of jap cars is endless i.e, 200sx, 300zx, Mazda Rx7 etc etc!

i roll my eyes as jap cars are crap imo, allt he ones ive driven are just boring and souless, and the interior is liek sitting in someones basement, all black and dull, ford interiors are a world away imo

ive driven (parent owned) toyota celica (twin headlamp version) boring... that was a 2.0 auto (slow too)

currently she has a 1.4 W reg civic (the boring looking one) its god awfully slow and boring

i said alot of borings then lol

Jap cars are uber reliable in most cases. Most of them are sexy as fook as well.

i dont really want to, plus thats not standard is it

the better models are the same just with added stuff, so cant be that different

aye but i was on about the interiors

the interior is still the same between a m reg 1.1 as it is with a m reg si, maybe a leather wheel more electric gismos and the sporty seats,

i dont need a jap car for speed, theres plenty of other makes that can put them to shame just as easily



anyway, thread clogged over this enough, sorry elward
