Idk, I like civics...peticularly EG hatchbacks. Accord are cool though, if that's the route you decide you want to go you should look into an H23 JDM swap. That engine makes so much power a turbo would just be for fun. I love hondas, they're very simple too and yes the parts are everywhere. I bought the aveo because it looked cool, it was cheap, it's good on gas and its unique. The car has a lot of potential. As far as racing goes, I'm a die-hard dubber. If you truly want to fall in love with your car and hate to shut the door to your garage for fear of missing it a VW would serve you well. I have an 87' mk2 Jetta coupe 1.8T. It's pretty fast and parts are everywhere for VW's.
