I know I mentioned STI and Evo above which are turbo.
whats wrong with FWD? I get the turbo 4 part cuz those engines sound like shit but FWD setup properly is fun too.

Civic R is fast and practical. Sound isn't that big a deal but turbo fours are laggy. I love an instant connection between the throttle pedal and the engine. I like engines that build power like the S54, S65 or my S2000. I like getting the back end loose too.
