Id agree with you aaronng, if you mod the fd you either improve the handling and spend 2k and be happy with no power or you spend 15k and build a sleeper. Having owned 1 of the first HRVs in the country (had it for7yrs and 300,000kms ) I cansay ur comparison with the FD is hilarious. The FD is sweet handling modern 4 dr with heapsof room,classic styling !
