'92-'96 Honda Prelude Si vs '95-'98 Nissan 240sx SE

[Speed Racer]

I've been looking into all different types of cars and have decided that it comes down either of these two. I'm almost fifteen and am looking at a car to get for when I turn sixteen. These are the factors that I have been looking at, but have not finished all of my research on them:
1)the way the car looks, you can't have an ugly looking ride
2)the ability to power up the car, whether it be through swapping or tuning what is already in there
3)low cost, this includes gas, insurance, and the usual wear and tear
4)I live in the New Englend area and while at first this might rule out the 240sx, I can easliy get a ride from any of thr other kids in my neighborhood that go to my school, so don't choose on that
Well, that is all that I can think of for. I will check back later. Oh yeah, try to keep it clean please.

well the 240 sx is rear wheel drive, which is a HUGE advantage in my opinion. not a true sports car unless its rwd imo.

but thats just me, other people have different views, so dont flame me pls.

i also think the 240 looks better, and has good aftermarket.

i agree with mike, rwd is a huge plus. rwd is so much fun, so much fun it almost gets me in trouble . also, the 240 has a huge huge aftermarket.

240SX no doubt...I owned one and there's nothing that good about the Prelude Si

You gotta have torque, RWD, relatively light, nimble and good looking...the 240SX fits all that and more...
