Overrated.. Oh, I know! The Civic.. :o
Underrated.. any cheap cars with turbos.. IE. the old SVO, 323, probes, etc. Since they all have decent potential. :yes:

you really think the nsx is overrated?
I was really impressed with how tight they are... my buddies dad took me for a quick spin in his before he sold it and I though it was WAY better than my dads 911 (non-turbo)
Over-rated- VW vr6s', civics' really any honda/acura (except the nsx I was impressed wouldn't pay that much for it but...), any audi, any bmw.
Under-rated- nissans (especially the early 90's sentra & sentra ser), dsm's (i know people who know, know but their re-sale values are WAY out of wack.) early 90's escort gt's.

I was looking 6mo ago and found 6 or 7 tsi's that were running needed minor work and were under 1200 bucks... 3 in jersey 2 in ct and 1 in ny I think. cheapest one needed a radiator it was 900 bucks everything else was fine and the radiator only leaked slowly he said he figured you could get it 2-3hundred miles before it over heated.

RSX have gotten old to my eyes, and my girlfriends buddy says it sure isn't worth the $500 a month payments, I agree seeing as he is only 18 thats too much
but hey man NSX? come on...beautiful car;)

Quite true.
As for imports, Civics are definately the most "overrated" cars (by far!)

I would also have to say that most stangs are overrated. The mid 90's are sooooo slow its just embarising. Underated........ I would have to say........... Miatas. Those little things have a lot of potential.

There's so many variations though, speed, handling, price, quality, longevity, etc. that can be used to make a car over or underrated......what are people using as their basis?
Overrated as "sports cars": Stangs and Camaros that are really only muscle cars
Underrated: Yugo :bandit:

Yah but I'm curious why people are saying some of these cars are over/underrated. Why are Civics overrated??? I don't get it, cuz I think they're cheap reliable pieces of crap. :)

I think most people underrate mustangs. IMO I hear most people saying they are slow, but dont we all buy a car because we can modify them. You cant say a civic is fast stock. I dont think any car is , well maybe camaros and vetts, but those are for old gezzers and trailer trash:rolleyes: The point is I get a car for its potential to go fast , not to be part of the in crowd

I think they are overrated because I'm sick of seeing them everywhere, I'm sick of hearing people talk about them, and I'm sick of owning one. :D
