Alright I'm sure this question has been posted before, and since this IS a HONDA-ish website i pretty much know the answer. But I just want to see people's opinions

Question: Honda or Toyota?

I think that depends on what model you're talkin about. I like more Honda models than Toyotas though overall.

Well, it really depends. I'd have to say both make some good cars.
Honda just has more cars that I like, but I like Toyota too. Hard decision.
Like I can't say honda because I like the Supra and the IS300 and those cars. So it' a toughy... :yes:

Personally, I like Honda's better. But a supra is tempting.

Suzuky Aerio SX for you mister ;)

personally i think toyotas have no personality what so ever. You drive them, park them forgot what car you had, but that might be just me.

Supras, yea yea everybody says that... And its true I love the lexus lines, but honestly, toyota makes some cars that are built to last. Look at their minivans and coupes (like the camry)... solid powerful cars.

I'd lean more towards toyota.

In Memphis eh? I live in Memphis, and have a Toyota... I would pick toyota over honda any day. Sure some Toyotas have no character, but same with some Hondas... one thing I know, my toyota has character:yes:

well... lets look at how nissan makes their cars...

honda sports coupe.. prelude. nice engine, FWD, no better engine made can fit reasonably into it
nissan sports coupe.. 240sx.. RWD and one word... SILVIA

nissan top end sedan... maxima.. very good speed, and overall a nice riding car, great handling stock
honda top end sedan.. accord.. good car, decent speed at best, equiped with a 200hp v6 not avalible in manual, and wont get in the low 15's or 14's with basic bolt ons

nissan compact car 200sx/sentra.. fwd yes.. but equiped with a very strong sr20de and has the capabilitys of 9's (freinds mechanic down south owns one)
honda compact car.. civic. does high 15's with the slightly tuned b16, and dont expect a full body 11 second car on the stock motor.

honda sports car NSX(have to goto acrua line to even compete).. rwd(nice) 280hp(nice) mid engine(sounds great).. problem is its not that fast. makes a decent track car but it brings a 90k price tag if you dont want alot of options. oh, and dont expect to get much more power from it.
nissan sports carS 1) 300zx twin turbo.. fast car stock.. will stick to the ground great, plenty of room for improving power across the board. 2) skyline GTR. a legacy of a car, a veyr de-tuned 280hp engine capable of over 450hp SAFE for under $1500. all wheel drive, all wheel steering, very well built, more room for improvment than you can imagine.


basicaly when it comes down to it, honda overcharges for thier fast cars(s2k and nsx) and dosnt offer a good room of improvment for the aftermarket world. if i wanted a stock roaster, i'd look into the s2k, but even that car gets owned by miatas at autoX events. honda had a good thing going in the mid-90's but the fact is, the rest of the performance world caught up and surpased them. rx7's and supras will put down more power and outhandle a NSX in almost stock trim.

oh and for reliability, im begining to think honda's reliablity is more myth than truth. their performance engines kinda.... suck for reliablity/abuse compaired to almost every performance engine i can think of

one reason Hondas are so popular is b/c there are so many aftermarket parts to fit them. but i found that thing on Nissans interesting thanks for the input.
