    I think the yen was extremely strong in the 90s which were the glory days for many of the major Japanese automakers. When the yen fell during their financial crisis in the 2000s, so did many of the fun models from Toyota and Honda. Nissan's models fell a bit quicker after their merger with Renault and Carlos Ghosn's cost cutting. Sadly, fun sports cars that were affordable seem to be behind us due to people's unwillingness to buy them, emissions restrictions, and increased R&D costs associated with both emissions and crash standards in the EU and in the US.

    I recently sat in one of these at the junkyard. I was amazed how much leg room at the pedals it had for a 6ft tall guy. Modern cars don't have that space and are quite bigger outside. The seats were also very well designed for relaxed long drives. Same for the controls and driving position, everything at the right place. The only downside to me was the size of the steering wheel, a small sports one would have helped enormously with the handling feeling, but it would need an airbag (some aftermarket one had airbags). A shorter shift stick would also help - you forgot to mention how nice the shifting action feels like. Modern cars are not this well designed. And of course, you felt connected with the entire car while driving. Modern chassis have been strengthened up so much for rigidity and safety, you no longer feel the chassis flex, which was the key component for the way cars in the 80s and 90s felt when being driven. Wonder, does Honda still sell spare parts for these ?

    When I meet my now wife in college, she had a two year old 1997 Civic LX that I spend the better part of the afternoon installing a CD Player in. While the power wasn’t all that great, and the interior would look plebeian by today’s standards, it introduced me to Honda. It was a great car, and I enjoyed the precision and driving dynamics better than the Camaro that I had (I was into Camaro’s and other muscle type cars) while only an LX version. We both bought several Honda’s in the years to follow. We stopped and switched to a mixture of GTIs / GLI, a BMW, Ford (SUV), and have owned three Mazda CX-5’s since their release. Interestingly enough, we are taking delivery of our first Honda product in years next week - an Acura RDX Aspec. The Civic is all new next year, and I am curious to see what they do with the platform. I am also curious about the TLX Type S. That being said, cars in general are becoming really expensive, heavy, and loaded with tech feature to distract you from poor or not engaging driving dynamics. Yes, you might have more power, but everything else feels like an appliance. I will say though that my tastes have changed in two areas. That is, I don’t see a purpose for a two door only car anymore (unless it is truly a sports car). Circa the mid 2000’s or somewhere about then, there is really no improvement in driving dynamics and most coupes are just as big as their 4 door counterparts. Second, all the money is going into improving the driving dynamics of “SUVs” (if you can even call them that, most are just tall hatchbacks now with tires that I wouldn’t venture off the road with) to the point that with the better ones, the cars are stale and sloppy, and the handling dynamics for the street on the better SUVs is almost as good, if not better. So why bother with the car? Cars have to be truly sporty to keep them alive, so I am glad to see some of the manufacturers going in that direction.

    Awesome! These came out during my late high school years and tapered off into my early work force years. Was the defacto sports car amongst my peers. The great views from the large windows you can’t get in todays safety laden cars. All for a reasonable price. Now people care more about apple or android availability in their micro suv.

    Just bought a very clean, unmolested 2001 DB8 GS-R 2months ago tan leather was still mint. They still exist. Honda 4 life! This is my 15th or so Honda made car. My first was a 90 CRX back in highschool. I told myself this will stay in the family and be the last build. We'll see haha. Its getting expensive and parts are getting scarce. Its like owning a classic car at this point but worse. Nobody makes parts unlike Camaros and other classics you can catalog build. I also have a '18 FK7 SI, so much has changed since the earlier models its insane. I still prefer the weekend cruise in my Teg over the new Civic.

    I agree with you about past Japanese smaller cars. I bought an ‘87 CRX, with just over 200K kms, as a 2nd car ($500). It was cheap and ‘well used’... but I loved it. It was so fun, despite having no power and falling apart (struts, no heat, wipers - worked sometimes) But ... it always started and was always exciting to drive . Thanks for another entertaining video.

    As someone who's first car was a used 89 Civic Si, then a 94 Civic Si, I miss they type of fun Hondas. The civics started getting too bloated for my taste, so I ended up with a 2012 Fit Sport which still feels and drives like those 90's Hondas. Not too sure how confident I am now with their tiny turbo 4 cylinder these days.

    This vintage Integra wasn’t cheap when new, but I still remember test driving a bright red one with that pistol grip shifter. I had a 98 Prelude at that time, but was not a manual. Those were around $25k USD even in the 90’s.

    You mention how you need to get a civic sport hatch back. They’re not the same experience either. They’re much larger and heavier, the feel is dull and they don’t have the same experience as these old cars.
    I just bought that exact same car but a 1999 in amazing shape with 0 rust and never winter driven. It’s a great driving experience and the car definitely speaks to you.

    The 2.0L turbo is still a great engine, and a worthy successor to the B and naturally aspirated K series engines. They sound great for what they are in comparison to the turbo offerings from other car makers. They won't rev to the moon, but hey, in an age where everything is going electric/hybrid, I'm okay with that.

    Had one of these new - teal. Loved the revs, shift snick snick, but at the same time I thought (especially in retrospect) it was overpriced for the content (stereo was especially poor), seating position was too low and I always hated the annoying window pully mechanism. (Disclaimer - what I really needed I realized was a 4dr, a size larger, a premium brand - and so I quickly discovered the virtues of buying 2 or 3 years old....)

    Funny thing is the Modding community always wants unmolested originals to modify.
    When they go too far and many do, it becomes a molested car (tracked, raced, auto X the living daylights out of it) with a never ending list of accumulated broken and dubious parts/AREAS to fix.
    Many at this stage want to find an unmolested one to settle and finally appreciate the car as is. But many cannot keep it together and do it all again like an addict (Mod, abuse, regret, search to start again, REPEAT).
    Genuine enthusiasts never wants a modified out car nor do they want their cars to go to a modder. Moders usually bluff to get the Enthusiasts to let go pretending they will keep it in good hands only to "Bwahahaha!!!" upon arriving home, as the garage door slowly closes behind them.
