Why ?

Well if you want a fast car, and you buy a honda then your buying the wrong car (excluding the S2000, NSX, and TL). Unless you like the challenge in turning and economy car into something fast.

There are several reasons I have a civic. When I was in highschool I always liked the 5th gen coupes shape. It's easy for me to do all my own work, it's reliable, gets good MPG, parts are endless, they are easy to sell, and they are low emissions. I've made it faster, look better (IMO), and handle better than stock. It's fun for me. If I only cared about making a 10 sec. straight line beast I would of chose something else. All around it's fun, and most importantly it's paid for. I can't justify buying a car that depreciates $300-$500 dollars a month.

Anyway people that bash Hondas don't really understand what Hondas are designed for. It's not about being the fastest. Although if Honda wanted to throw everything else out, I'm sure they could be the fastest. But it would hurt sales. They are a business, and the #1 goal in a business is to make money. They know exactly what they are doing, and they are doing it as well as anyone else is. The day mitsubishi sells more cars than Honda is a day we'll never see in our lifetime.
