It all depends on the honda. I've ridden in a fast civic and it doesn't take much money to make them fast. They handle like crap though (civics,etc. not s2k). The s2k needs a bigger engine and it would be worth the money. Stock civics are plain, small, slow, and don't handle good. Modded civics are played out, usually still slow, and usually still don't handle good. To sum it up, hondas can be OK but most aren't.
