Hi, Guys. Planning to get a used car for fun drive. I love old honda ( i dont have much money for the newer one ), it is easy to maintain, cheap to take care and i prefer the older design.
Planned to get something lighter and faster beside my daily driven euro r. In my mind, i am thinking of :
- civic eg 2doors
- civic ek 2doors
- crz ( the hybrid )
- jazz ( ge or gk )
- dc5
It can carries either b16, b18 or even k20.
Price range rm60000
What do u guys think?
Honda forever...classic way better
Agree about your choice with Honda as the parts are berlambak and also many cap Ayam parts if you on a budget
Lets talk about engine and 60K budget
I would recommend a b18 OR K20, the b16 is lacking torque and not much power unless you wanna go 10krpm to squeeze 200whp
for b18 you have choices like EG, or EK or EF or DC2 if you dont mind older cars or even a CRX for the ultimate light weight
Jazz, CRZ, you can forget bout it and DC5 60k can get u the type S only which is rubbish and will regret later.
I would suggest before you decide, do you want hi-rev or hi-torque this would determine your path of engine choices for B18 or k20.
And also when you mention fast you shooting for top speed OR Acc/response
B18 would have limitations and K20 more potential.

This spec should set you around 30k~40kish
Fun car is not comfortable and comfortable is no fun.
My EF is quite brutal with the close ratio and all the solid suspension setup
